Stone Circle Council takes your health and wellness seriously, our commitment to keeping our events as low-risk as possible extends to this event. Due to the size and scope of the event and venue attendees will be permitted in indoor spaces without masks. The venue is one building which houses all of the sleeping, eating and gathering spaces under one roof. We encourage individuals to mask indoors if they so choose. Covid19 and other illnesses: 1) Take an at-home rapid Covid19 test prior to starting your travel, do not travel if your test is positive. 2) Stay home if you are feeling ill, even if you test negative. 3) Wash your hand prior to eating with the community, and as often as possible during the event. Food Safety Our kitchen volunteers are versed in serve-safe food practices. We employ all attendees to reach out to the kitchen team about any and all food-related allergies and restrictions at least 45 days prior to the event. All food will be prepared in a shared kitchen so cross-contamination is possible and we will need to know in advance if there are ingredients that must be kept out of the kitchen. Service Animals: We require that all service animals be pre-registered so that we can coordinate with the venue. Service animals that do not pre-register will not be admitted. To register your service animal please e-mail Admin@StoneCircleCouncil.org with subject line "Eclipse Magic Weekend- Service Animal". Include your name and contact information as well as the name and type of animal. Pets: Pets are not allowed at the event. Please make arrangements and leave your pets at home. |
Our venue, the Woodland Lodge, is on many acres of beautiful land. We have rented the entire space which includes access to a pond, a fire pit, an unheated barn, and both the east and west wings of the property. The lodge has 18 bedrooms and has beds (including linens) for up to 46 guests. To enable as many people to join us as possible the planning team will be assigning rooms. Rooms range in size and structure with the largest rooms accommodating 4 individuals. We will be sending out a survey asking about your food and lodging preferences after standard registration closes on February 2nd. The survey will ask about companions you’d like to be roomed with and other accommodation needs so please take some time between now and then to consider who your favorite roommates would be. Selling out this venue for this event is possible, when that happens the team will meet to discuss adding non-lodging registration options for individuals who are able to find their own lodging nearby. (If the event is currently showing as sold out, please add your name to the waitlist and we will be in touch to let you know what options are available.) Prior to sell out the full weekend registration is the only type available. Due to the structure of the event, there is not an available youth discount, however, children under 2 do not need a ticket.
