Harvest Home Gathering
Labor Day Weekend
September 3, 2009 - September 7, 2009
Hartford County 4-H Camp, Marlborough, CT
Dear Harvest Home Gathering Community,
It is with deep regret that we must cancel HHG for 2009. This was a difficult decision to make, but neither of us is capable of serving the community at an acceptable level for the upcoming year. Between both of us we have been confronted with several tragic deaths of friends and family, as well as major health issues, and issues of home & hearth. Those of you who have already paid for registration will receive a refund. We do plan on resuming festival in 2010. To that end, ALL speakers already approved of for 2009 will be approved for 2010. You will be the first to hear from us this fall. We will miss all of you a great deal in the year ahead!
Any Questions can be addressed to John M. Boye at (203)947-2377

There is joy in the journey…
Harvest Home Gathering Co-Chairs
We gather together to celebrate and give thanks for the harvest that will sustain us through the dark months ahead. Join us for a gathering celebrating community, family, home and the harvest.
Harvest Home Gathering is an indoor/outdoor event, which promotes celebration, knowledge, spirituality, enlightenment, family and fellowship. By virtue of its very name, we embrace the collective spirit of our kindred. We work together in harmony and compassion to achieve that, which is sacred. Together we plant the seeds of our future and together we shall enjoy the fruitful harvest of our collective efforts.
This event is being held on Labor Day Weekend Thursday, September 3 through Monday, September 7, 2009. Registration hours will be Thursday between 3:00 and 11:00PM. The Welcoming Dinner will begin on Thursday at 6:00PM. Everyone is welcome to attend the Welcoming Dinner, even if you're not on the meal plan. The Closing Ceremony will begin on Monday at 1:00. The venue for this gathering will be located at the Hartford County 4H Camp, 247 South Rd., Marlborough, Connecticut.
You must pre-register to attend this event. Walk-ins are not permitted and we do not offer day passes.
The weekend will consist of over 50 classes and workshops with World Renowned Authors, a Friday night Dance featuring D.J. music, a Saturday night concert with Shaman and a Sunday night Renaissance Feast with bards and wenches. There will also be nightly drumming circles, nightly bonfires and an assortment of vendors! In order to build and maintain "community" we ask that once you arrive on site, you remain until the end of the gathering on Monday.
The camp is located in scenic Marlborough, CT on 100 acres of land. The camp is adjacent to the Salmon River State Forest with many trails for hiking, meditating and nature observation. The Vending Area is located in the main camp area and there is a fire circle in the woods. Cabin space is limited but there is an unlimited amount of space for tents. There is a separate shower house with facilities next to the cabins. Due to the rough terrain and location of some of the activities, we unfortunately cannot accommodate handicapped or disabled members of our community. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.
Harvest Home Gathering is both honored and privileged to offer a variety of well-known and respected speakers from various disciplines including: Witchcraft, Celtic Studies, Shamanism, Thelemic and Ceremonial Magic, Faery Tradition, Egyptian, Voodoo, Norse Spirituality and more.
