More About Sirius Rising

Sirius Rising has been an event cherished by festival attendees for years. Many good people have contributed to its success and growing popularity. Participation and hands-on activities within a community setting is a major emphasis of the festival.

Each night there is a ritual that honors the elements (earth, air, fire, water) and spirit. This year we celebrate The Hero’s Journey. Participants will have an opportunity to learn about the intent of the nightly rituals during daily workshops and will have the opportunity to assist those facilitating the nightly rituals or Saturday Celebration. Everyone is encouraged to be involved. Saturday's Celebration is a culmination of the week's activities integrating each element and sending off our Messenger. Watch for more information
