Ding dong! Handfasting bells are ringing at D3...
Gaiamore and Julie recently announced their handfasting ceremony for Sunday morning at D3, to be witnessed and surrounded by the wider Reclaiming Community. Woo-hoo! Congratulations! Starhawk shall priestess the ritual, which is ideally going to be held outside and focused on raising energy for world peace and universal love.

New, lower DAY RATES for Dandelion...
The Dandelion Planning group met and consensed on a new cost of $55 for day rates for the Dandelion gathering. This will include Lunch and Dinner. The location is Camp Newman in Sonoma County.
Please be advised that you must be registered to attend. We have to give Camp Newman an accurate count of all people attending. That means that, unlike Witchcamp, we will be unable to accommodate those of you who want to wait until the last minute.
Please get your reservation in very soon. Our Drop Dead Deadline is March 2. That is the deadline for us to decide if the gathering will happen or not. We can add people after that up until March 15.

Dandelion DROP DEAD DATE
We know that you are out there. Many people are talking about coming to Dandelion, making plans, talking about rituals, workshops, teas, salons, and meetings even a wedding!
Unfortunately that has not translated into many registrations. We have a deadline of March 2, 2008 with Camp Newman. If we do not have enough people signed up by then, we will have to cancel.
I know that there are enough people planning on coming to have a successful event, but we need commitment. Please get your registration in right away!
I am looking forward to meeting a lot of new people and seeing old friends from around the country.

REPRESENT at B.I.R.C.H.! An invitation...
The second assembly of BIRCH (Broad Intra-Reclaiming Council of Hubs) will happen as part of Reclaiming's Dandelion Gathering 3 in Northern California, April 16-20.
BIRCH is a place for people in Reclaiming to speak and be heard, and
to deal with wider Reclaiming issues (beyond just camp-related
business), to address large issues of our core values and ways of
organizing (for example, whether or not to revise the Principles of
Unity.)
The BIRCH assembly is open to all Reclaiming individuals and groups.
Any Reclaiming-identified individual who attends the Dandelion
Gathering on the day that BIRCH meets is welcome to take part.
BIRCH was birthed at Dandelion 2 with the intention of serving all
parts of the evolving Reclaiming communities by nourishing our webs
of connection, past, present and future, through passionate,
generous, magical reflection, service and action. BIRCH is visioned
as a body that can hold Reclaiming in all of its parts.
BIRCH's Purpose is to act as an empowered, accountable and
transparent body that will:
1. Facilitate communication, resources sharing and skill building
2. Affirm our identity and honour our history and lore
3. Support and strengthen our diverse communities, individuals,
networks and guilds
4. Enhance the visibility of Reclaiming in the world
If a group chooses to send an official representative to BIRCH (which
is only necessary if a group specifically wants to have someone speak
on their collective behalf), the group and rep can identify in
writing prior to Dandelion by contacting the BIRCH discussions list
on the Dandelion 3 website.
Groups and representatives can also form and/or identify in writing
onsite during Dandelion. Only a representative of a group of 5 or
more may block a consensus decision during the BIRCH assembly.
Suggested agenda items for the BIRCH assembly will be collected from
anyone who wishes to contribute them on the BIRCH discussions list
and onsite at Dandelion.
In service and love,
The BIRCH Administrative Group
Chelidon, Morgana, Pat, Ross, Shel, Yoeke, Cassandra, George, OtterMoon

Please forward to all Reclaiming community lists

Dandelion 2008 photos!
Yes, through the magic of time-transport, we bring you photos of the 2008 Dandelion gathering!
Oh, sorry, that's a typo. They're actually photos from the 2006 gathering. But they're still great photos, giving a flavor of our biennial gathering.
Dandelion 2008 is your best opportunity for the next two years to rub elbows with official RQ production volunteers, not to mention a lot of other great Reclaiming folks. Anyone who identifies with Reclaiming is welcome to attend this gathering.
