As we bring our families together in this time of celebration and unity, we would like to have a day for anyone who would like to be present, to meet and greet family members in a casual and relaxed atmosphere. We can drop into getting to know each other better, spend time in the forest under the oaks and pines, visit the sacred Yuba River, and enjoy potluck style food and drinks.

Our wedding day will be full of celebration and ceremony, held in the beautiful forest setting of Grass Valley, California on our property, which we call Loveland Retreat. There will be a red thread ceremony for the women/womb-keepers to participate in, and a white thread ceremony for the men, where we will weave together the feminine and masculine forces in honor of these sacred energies. These threads will then make a rope that will be used in a Celtic style hand tying ritual during the wedding ceremony. We will also hold a name changing ceremony, where we will be taking on our new names. The wedding will be officiated by Aspen's Grandma Jyl. After the wedding ceremony we will have a dinner and reception, followed by live music, singing, dancing.

We would like to bring together those who are interested in joining us for a relaxing day of intention setting, self care, and family harmony. This will include some or all of the following; Morning time sunning meditation, QiGong, Yoga, Nature Walk, Dance and Movement, Song Circle, Sharing Time, and an optional sacred circle towards the evening hours.
