Pack up time
There will be a window time where support will be available for those who need a hand packing down their camp. Folks then start hitting the road, their hearts full, hair full of bracken and songs on their lips! Some crew will stay a little longer to pack down the rest of the pop-up village.

Participation in all activities is optional – we encourage individuals to listen to their own needs and follow their own curiosities.
