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. The new area is called DragonHeart Retreat. We are hopeful to being able to start having events in DragonHeart by the new Year.
There are some existing trails already for those that would like to explore the area. There are Temporary signs posted at this time showing entrance into this area and where it ends so we don’t trespass on others property..
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

Children 17 and under are free, but must be accompanied by an adult guardian.
Vending fee is $10 for a 10×10 space, plus your ticket in. Our vending area is small, so there is a limited number of vendors that we can put in there. Spaces are a on first come basis. To vend, send an email to [email protected] telling us the name of your booth and what you are vending. This will be used when we list the vendors in the festival info.
We also have a few RV spots with electric and water that are $50 each. These must be reserved in advance.

Mini-gatherings celebrating the other Sabbaths.
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.
*********
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.

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.
These are $20 or $10 if you are doing a workshop for the event.
All online tickets can be purchased through Paypal using: paypal.me/earthspiritpeople
Upcoming Women’s weekend after Samhain
Upcoming Men’s Weekend TBA
We have FB Groups for these events, if you are interested in joining one do a fb search for Women of ESPOT or ESPOT men and request to join. If you have trouble doing this contact Joy Anderson for the women’s group and Belenor for the Men’s Group.

2nd Sat Work and Play Weekends
These are Community/work weekend to give folks a time to gather as well as do maintenance on the land and projects.
Those that wish to help with land maintenance and festival prep are welcome to come out Fri evening and set up camp.
If you just want to come out and see the land and hang with us Sat night, that is cool too.
Camping is available for those that do this as well. You do not have to be a member to come out, you are a guest of the board for the weekend.
We work Sat. and Sun. mornings. Sat evening we do a potluck meal and have fun. For those that are coming out just for the evening, camping is encouraged.
For information on 2nd Sat please email us at: [email protected]

For those with difficulty affording to come to our gatherings, but still want to attend, please contact us. We do have options to assist with this. We are about Community more than anything else.
