Spiral Rhythms brings together Musicians, Environmentalists, and Earth-based spirituality (commonly known as Paganism) for the benefit of several different non-profit organizations who do public works in environmental conservation, humanitarian aid, and diversity awareness education.
What is Spiral Rhythms Festival?
It's a 4 day, 3 night, outdoor camping festival in Klickitat County, WA. There is a main stage for music and musically-oriented workshops, and is also the site of a large public Earth-based ceremony each year. An all volunteer staff helps supervise a kid's booth, serves hot meals in the kitchen, hosts a drum circle and a Temple, and brings together an entire culmination of a weekend experience like none other.
The Spiral Dance
Music: Our focus is on acoustic music from all diverse backgrounds, from currently relevant political satires to middle eastern strings and tabla. Check out our music page for a sample of last year's musicians.
Magick: Each year, our main event on saturday afternoon is a large group ceremony that includes live music, community interaction, and Earth-based spiritual ideals. This Main Ritual establishes the Theme for the rest of the festival, which is played out in smaller rituals, workshops, shrines, and concerts. See the magick page for more about the Main Ritual.
Activities: Every year brings new workshops, new ideas, new musical approaches, and new faces. Workshops are scheduled during daylight hours, and are focused around music, spirituality, environment, peace, and alternative healing. There are open mic times at the stage, interactive shrines, and late-night music around more than one campfire.
