INFORMATION ABOUT THE CONGRESS
The Skalitude Retreat Center is
a beautiful site for the Congress. It is nestled at the
end of a remote mountain valley in the North Cascades in the Methow
Valley watershed. The main inhabitants are ponderosa pines, douglas
firs, aspens, bunchgrass, countless wildflowers, deer, coyotes,
bear, and many fairies.
Site facilities: The Skalitude
Retreat Center is a 160-acre site surrounded by national forest.
Facilities include a large, log-cabin lodge which will be the
fairy art gallery and a workshop area. The Sky Lodge is
a beautiful, winged structure, somewhat akin to a flattened out
tipi. It is 54 feet across, 2200 square feet and can hold
hundreds of people. We will have a large, roofed, outdoor
kitchen to prepare our community meals. Many Congress activities
take place outdoors.
Camping. This is a camp
out event. So come prepared with tent, padding, bedding, flashlight
and camping accoutrements. People can come in live-in vans or
campers if they wish. Let us know if you would like a list of
local motels.
About Food. Participants
are requested to bring food to donate to the common kitchen, which
will then feed all of us. We especially appreciate people bringing
food from their gardens, orchards and wildcrafting. Lots of fresh
greens, vegetables, fruit, seaweed, nuts, seeds and sprouts and
other tasty and healthful foods. If you go shopping for your food
contribution, organic food is preferred.
Water: There is a deep
well at Skalitude which we will use for drinking water, cooking,
cleaning and showers. We are not sure if the well can keep up
with all these demands after last year's drought. Just in case,
we are advising people to bring along some drinking water. Whatever
happens, no one will go thirsty. There is a lovely public swimming
hole on the Methow River in the tiny town of Carlton, 8 miles
from the Congress.
Fairy Art Gallery. We will
turn the walls of the Center's log-cabin lodge into a gallery
of artwork relating to fairies, angels, devas, etc. Everyone
is invited to bring appropriate artwork they wish to display.
Bring your art supplies in case you are inspired during
the gathering!
Cooperation and Volunteers:
The Fairy Congress is a cooperative community. Most of the food
prep and cleanup will be done by participants. We are requesting
that everyone come prepared to help.
Healing Area: We
will set up a healing area for reiki, massage, and healing treatments.
The space is open for give people to give or receive treatments.
Massage tables appreciated.
Kid's Fairy Realm. The
children had a wonderful time last year. This year we wish to
have even more emphasis on the children including workshops and
puppetry. We will have a 16' geodesic dome for a kid's shelter
and activity area.
Vending: If you are interested
in vending fairy-related books or items please contact us about
guidelines and fees.
Directions. Skalitude Retreat
Center is located up Libby Creek Road. Libby Creek is 1 mile south
of Carlton on Hwy 53. Look for signs. Additional directions will
be sent to people who preregister.
