- **Event Name**: Opening Weekend & Welcome Back Spring Feast
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 21 Mar, 2026 at 10:00 am – Sun, 22 Mar, 2026 at 06:00 pm (-04:00)
- **Event Description**: March 21-22 is Opening Weekend, our first Earth Steward Weekend and celebration of Spring Equinox, the beginning of another season of caring for our common land together. We’ll pick up on some old projects and clean up from last year’s storms and we’ll  look around together for what needs to be done after the long winter.


Catina will lead an opening ritual around 11 Saturday morning. Late afternoon/early evening we’ll feast together to celebrate making it through the winter and being back together on Lothlorien with our Welcome Back Spring Feast. Brandon of Homestead BBQ will be providing a roast sheep and turkeys. Please bring sides, beverages, etc. Since our kitchen is still mostly closed, bringing your own plates, utensils, etc. is a good idea. We also appreciate help with cleaning up after the feast.


Come join us to welcome the spring and celebrate the beginning of a new season of community at Lothlorien. Working together taking care of our mutual land helps build community. It is KEOA in action. 


These early spring Steward weekends are important in getting the year off to a good start and reawakening our connection to the land, and on a practical level, it’s easier to do a lot of things in late winter and early spring before messes are covered by vegetation again, before birds and other animals are nesting in brush piles, before the snakes and mosquitos wake up and before it gets hot. There’s also the wonderful additional benefit of watching the land awaken with spring flowers and new leaves magically appear on the trees.
