2026 ACTIVITIES
Poetry in the Pines
Saturday & Sunday • 11 AM to 4 PM
Throughout the weekend, take a moment to pause and reflect with poet Nia Williams and her vintage typewriter. In quiet conversations tucked among the trees, Nia creates personalized poems in the moment – each one a small, meaningful keepsake to carry with you. It’s an invitation to wander in the woods, and connect through poetry, one heartfelt line at a time.
Join us Saturday and Sunday mornings for yoga with Anne Kaye! Experience a gentle energizing practice, the perfect way to start off a busy day of festival fun. Please remember to bring your own mats.
