Earth Spirit People of Texas is a 501(3)(c) religious organization
All listed events are held at Dragonz Wylde Ranch, 520 Red Rock Ranch Road, Red Rock, TX at this time, unless otherwise stated
Update on the property: Acacia and Joy G. have agreed to a split of the property. We will be getting the back third of the land. There is still paperwork to do, so until the legal part is done and we have our area ready, we will continue to host our events at Dragonz Wylde Ranch.
We ask that if you are sick, or been exposed to someone that is sick, within the last 14 day, please don’t attend our events till you are better and the 14 day time period has elapsed.
Part of our goal is a place for people from all walks of life and different beliefs to be able to come together, learn from each other and build a community that is larger than our individual groups…..A Gathering of the Tribes

Our next up-coming event is:
Ostara
March 25
( This was postponed from Mar 18th due to weather considerations)
Folks are welcome to come out that Friday evening to set up camp and to stay through Sun.
Our craft for this event is coloring/painting eggs for your Ostara altar or other manifestations.
We will also be doing a workshop of Bird Totems with Kim as well as our Ostara Ritual. Ada is going to give us a sample of her identifying tress on the land workshop that she will be doing for Beltane. There will also be a “fertility” ritual involving a confetti egg “exchange”. We have several cartons, but any more you would like to add are welcome. This would also be a good time for a seed exchange for those of us who garden.
There will be a viewing of the original uncut version of the Wicker Man in the evening.
We will also do our usual Potluck evening meal.
We are open to other workshops if someone wishes to present one. Remember this is only a one day event and will start around 10am.
Entry to the mini-gathering is $20 per adult or $10 if you are willing to give a workshop. Payment can be done online at Paypal.me/earthspiritpeople or can be paid at the event.
All our gatherings are fundraisers as well as an opportunity to build community to help keep the organization going.

Mini-gatherings celebrating the other Sabbaths.
Dates for Ostara March 25
We are working towards being able to celebrate all eight Sabbaths in some form.
These will be, for the most part, one day festivals. People will be allowed to come out the day before to set up camp and stay through Sunday. All the main festivities will be on that Sat starting around 10am and will include some workshops, a craft that is aligned with that sabbath, a ritual and a potluck. These are $20 or $10 if you are offering a workshop and can be paid online or at the gate.

Our Gatherings are Family Friendly.
Working toward this, children are free and are welcome in most of the workshops and rituals. We even try to have some that are geared toward the younger folks. We also have a playscape area. Parents are responsible for their children in this area.
We do not babysit your children, though. If you bring them, you are responsible for them. We also ask that underage children not be at the fire after 10pm. If they are there later, a parent or guardian must be with them.
Our gatherings are NOT clothing Optional
Though, at this time, we do have a clothing optional area, that is for 18 and older only. This area is marked and has a privacy fenced in area.
Your 6 month membership in our organization is included in your Beltane and Samhain ticket price.

Future Event Dates:
The dates for Beltane and Samhain are always held on the last full weekend of April and Oct. This means that the sat and sun are both in that month.
Dates for 2023 are: Beltane April 27-30 , Samhain Oct. 26-29
Sabbath Mini-Fests
Mini-fests are scheduled on the closest weekend to that Sabbath

Men’s and Women’s Weekends
We try to hold these in the Spring and Fall before the two main festivals. Which one you attend depends on your perception of your gender. These gatherings are where we usually do the coming of age rituals.

Men’s Weekend scheduled for March 31-Apr 2
