1st Language is much more than an album…

It started as a dream 8 years ago, and in the dream we began to return to the circle where we would feed each other. Gifting each other songs, dance, storytelling, wisdom from our elders, fresh food, gratitude, grief, and every aspect that makes us who we are. Before industrialization, art was a common tool that told stories of the land, our ancestors, and past knowledge to the next generations. Each person carried a piece of the puzzle, had a role to offer, providing a deeper sense of belonging. Over the last 24 months, the light has seemed dim for many of us. This severing feeling of isolation has driven the sounds and experience of 1st Language, bringing us back to the miracle of life. Over the 4 days & nights, we welcome you and your gifts to come be held in creative freedom.

 

What’s included:

• Camping / Lodging at Hummingbird for 4 nights
• Collective Song Circles
• Movement, Dance, Meditation
• Indigenous Storytelling
• Communal, Local Farm-sourced Meals
• Clean Container / Substance Free Event
• Guest Facilitator-led Workshops

Special Guest Facilitators: Max Ribner & 1st Language, Hope Medford, Uncle Ron Interpreter, Mahiri Fainke, Jeremy Roske, MaBliss, Laughing Fox, and Azere Wilson!
