Full
Moon Gatherings at Terrasante
Community
Thank you for your interest in the full moon gatherings
at Terrasante Community. Our intention for these circles is to bring
people together to join in a spirit of community and connect to nature.
We invite you to join in that by being present, and by sharing music,
words, dance, and food. We honor the diversity of different spiritual
traditions and find the commonalities among them.

Staying overnight--options:
People are welcome to stay overnight in a vehicle or bring a tent, or
to sleep out on the ground by the firecircle.
If you plan to set up a tent, please arrive before dark to set up your
camp.

Safety and health policies:
- For safety and for minimizing our
impact on the desert, please stay on designated paths. Off the paths
you may encounter cholla cactus, open ditches, and ongoing construction.
- There is no smoking at the circle
itself. People may smoke at a designated area away from the circle.
Circles are generally non-alcoholic events, with possible limited
ceremonial use of alcohol (decided in a planning meeting prior to the
event)

We encourage ridesharing. If you'd
like to share rides to the event, check out the interactive email group
