I know that the festival is not a perfect world and I honor your choice to abstain but I am one momma who feels the ach of missing Michigan this year. I have gone 6 out of the last 12 years and really wanted to make it this year but finances don't allow. I will certainly hurt when my son's are not allowed on the land any more and will not subject them to the isolation of Brother Sun. That leaves very few years left to include them. As a heterosexual woman, I of course feel marginalized at the festival which has been an enormously enlightening experience. If I only participated in things I was in complete agreement with, I might never leave the house.

I think we get to go this year... Joey will be 4 so it is kind of now or never. Anyone else?

Thanks so much for sharing that... The world is such a wonderful place- things do grow and transform... even if not at the speed we would have it.

And I have camped many times with kiddos... if anyone has questions.
