This is a picnic potluck, so bring some picnic food to share. We will provide barbecue meat and vegan choices, as well as some soda, water and iced tea. You may bring alcoholic beverages of your own! CHILDREN ARE WELCOME! We will have a craft area where all can create “fire wheels” (they are vegetable matter and not actual fire, but you can offer them to the fire!)

• A chair for outdoors (Again, we'll have some)

If you are traveling in from a bit of a ways away, we recommend using the GPS and turning OFF epxress roads to come the back way. While driving, drink in our amazing Pennsylvania landscape, and meditate on what the sun from the longest day most needs to illuminate for you...
