Remembering the Village
August 15 to 17, 2025 | Near Onoway AB
Remembering the Village is a family friendly gathering rooted in the exploration of how we are in one another's company . It stems from the values of regeneration, land-based skills, healing and right relationship. We aim to create a space that honours all beings—human and non-human, seen and unseen — while celebrating the land we walk upon, the food that nourishes us, the skills that sustain us, the songs that move us and the dreams that guide us.
Want to get involved?
Like any Village, there is a role for everyone, what’s yours?
Remembering the Village is an opportunity to connect deeply with ourselves, one another, land, and spirit. It is a co-created experience built from a collective wondering of “what is possible when we come together?”
This gathering would not be possible without the unique contributions of each individual who attends. We're grateful for your willingness to contribute in whatever way you decide.
There are numerous ways to be involved in the gathering; such as a presenter or workshop facilitator (applications are now closed), as a healer in our Healers Nook (applications open!) or one of a few select vendors in our humble yet boisterous market square.
We can’t emphasis enough the need for volunteers (they are the glue of any gathering, aren’t they?) and never underestimate the support of purchasing a ticket and attending as a participant - without you we wouldn’t be able to sustain this dream.
Please take a look at each of these options and decide what option is best suited for you. We will be reviewing applications in 2 waves - the first wave deadline for Vendors and Healers will be April 30, 2025.
Thank you for taking the time to considering how you’d like to contribute your skills and knowledge towards the way we are when we come together. May your involvement nourish you and move you forward on your path.
What you can expect…
Well, we make no promise of changing your life; however that doesn’t mean it isn’t possible! That’ll be up to you…
This two night, three day gathering is an outdoor camping experience. This means that although there will be tents of numerous sizes for workshops, you are required to bring any additional resources you need to meet your needs.
This includes: tent for sleeping, all amenities, shade structure, chairs, umbrella’s, kitchen ware,
If you’ve ever gone camping - think that, but with workshops.
Your ticket price does not include meals. This means, you are responsible for bringing the appropriate amount of nourishing food that you and your family need.
On the Saturday night our Village will participate in a Grand Feast! This means all Villagers will be asked to bring one dish for sharing! This will require some coordination - are you up for it? (I know we are!) Stay tuned for more information.
Please note, because we are in the forest, there is no potable drinking water. So please bring water.
Still here? GREAT! Don’t be discouraged. This gathering is built on the foundation of collectively supporting our neighbours to ensure all needs are met. This is different than being provided for, it means we work together…. and so, let us be in the practice of this.
What the heck does that mean?
It means closer to the date, we will provide opportunity for those attending to connect with one another and perhaps you decide to: build a shared kitchen, create a meal share or ride share.
Let’s say this whole thing is a Dream, each of us a character.
How will it go?
That’s up to us to decide together….. May the Dream of the Village unfold.
