Fairy & Human Relations Congress - June 27 to July 1

COMMUNICATION & CO-CREATION WITH NATURE SPIRITS, DEVAS AND THE FAERY REALMS

The Fairy & Human Relations Congress is an annual event held in the Methow Valley in Washington State. The Congress is dedicated to Promoting Communication and Co-Creation with Nature Spirits, Devas and the Faery Realms.

The Fairy Congress, as it is commonly known, has proven to be a vanguard event for bridging the dimensions.  We are mainly an educational event, however in the fairy spirit we also have lots of fun with music, dancing, singing and a colorful costume parade.  We also have meditations and ceremonies throughout the weekend that focus specifically on communing and healing with the fairy realm.

Permaculture Design Course at Skalitude Retreat and Education Center
Tuesday July 2nd – Tuesday July 16th, 2019

In this course, hosted by the not-for-profit Skalitude Pollinator Sanctuary Project, we will learn how to design productive life-support systems that both mimic and work in collaboration with Natural ecological systems.

We will explore what a collaboration with communities of plants, animals and humans (with some emphasis on the role of pollinators) that live together in a respectful, sustainable and abundant manner. 

This Course will teach how to create settings and construct ecosystems that have the diversity, stability, and the resilience of natural ecosystems.

This 14-day comprehensive also presents the unique opportunity to learn to tune into the Intelligence of Nature, in a beautiful and wild surrounding in its many manifestations.
