The three day event consists of workshops, panels, trainings, a radical film festival, live music(i.e. Bonfire Madigan), spiral dancing, Earth healing songs(its new to me too), over 10 organizations (i.e. Greenpeace, Earth First!, Rainforest Action Networks . . .), Vegan Food, regional meetings, and speakers like Julia Butterfly Hill and Lou Gold.

Most of you have known about this for a while and are coming and some of you may be getting info about this festival for the first time, which doesn't give you all that much preparation. Either way I hope you can make it and hopefully I'll see you in October!
