Ecological awareness through this event will be met with each individual’s participation in the event. Retreating to a pristine forested area far from light, air and noise pollution is the first step, meditation, education and celebration with community, friends and family is the second. Emersion into the natural elements is the third, feel the forest, smell the forest, hear the bugs, taste the goodness. ECA will be providing various workshops through this event. These workshops cover ecological learning, community building and spiritual connectivity.

Communal Kitchen: Help out by donating food or your time to help cook yummy shared meals.

Bug Costumes are a must! There will be a contest for BEST bug costume. Kids included!

We are asking for $10 donations from adults (at the event), children are free, no one will be turned away.

The Mosier Dub Clan

Description: “Young Musicians coming together to represent Sushine Love and Mosier in an era of uncertainty. Using Roots acoustic music to craft our view of a better world to be. Playing original music with an occaisional cover so sing along!”

Grahamsound

Description: "Sacred meditative healing tribal organic electronic hypnotic tapestries of sound woven by musical threads of love, light, harmony, and peace, grahamsound is a musical gateway to transdimensional self knowledge through the golden ratios of the Pythagorean tone palette, and the ancient beat of our ancestors drums. Hula-hooping, ecstatic dancing, praying, and meditating strongly encouraged. Cascade over a waterfall, ride the crest of a wave, soar with the eagles, and swim with the whales. If you have a hand drum, then report to the stage, because you are in the band!"

WYLD WYZRDZ

Description: “The music of WYLD WYZRDZ is how I document my inner journey. It provides a space for my meditation. My intent in sharing this music is to create an environment where the listener can enter their own inner world, bringing their story into the experience, helping create something beyond what I have given. I wish to share the sounds that bring me peace.”

Crazy Amy Act and Company

Description: "You'll find yourself humming along with my wild array of tunes as you admire the merciless musical notes unravel. If you're not humming, you'll be tapping"

Fire Flies Fairy Calls

Description: "Kelly Slusher (a.k.a. Firefly) has gently wowed audiences with her angelic voice for over a decade. Like Christmas carols floating down snowy streets her delicate melodic sketches get into you little by little. Kelly has been performing for over 20 years and her music has touched a worldwide audience. Her recordings continue to circulate among international indie-music lovers. When she's not performing music she's making paper sculptures, drawing, and animations."
