An intentional and joyful gathering to honor the spirit and story of 4:20.
We begin with arrival and grounding on the land, followed by a 4:20 acknowledgement ritual and storytelling with Phil. From there, we open into a talking circle—each voice welcomed, each presence part of the whole.
As the evening unfolds, we share cannabis, food, music, and creative offerings in a relaxed, communal flow.
You’re invited to bring:
* A musical instrument, song, poem, or artwork
* Cannabis, herbs, and flowers to add to our altar to share
* A dish for our shared potluck meal
Land into the N.E.S.T—an open circle of connection, where intentions are spoken, laughter is shared, and the night gently takes wing.
