From our studios & gardens by the bank of the Willamette River, (straight down the hill from St. Johns in North Portland, Oregon), we create artistic happenings rooted in ritual, folklore, and ancestral crafts.
We create them because we are a community of passionate individuals who see that modern life for so many people lacks mythic wonder, or connection to place, and because we each felt a calling to meet these needs for ourselves & for each other.
Do you feel a resonance with this too?

If so, we invite you to join us for our May Day River Procession & Beltane Ritual each Spring.
And each November you can be a part of our

At other times of the year you might like to volunteer to build beautiful parade puppets with us, while spending time with like-minded folks and getting to learn some pretty great paper mache skills.
Or you can take a class at our workshop beside the river to learn how to create a festive mask you can wear, or a paper lantern made with locally-grown willow branches.
