🎟 TICKETS ARE LIVE!!

Soul Fire Forest invites you to Root to Rise: Wisdom in the Pines- a family-friendly, beginner &amp; expert welcome skillshare gathering where we practice real-world sustainability together. 🌿🏡

Not influencer culture.  
Not polished performance.  
Not a weekend of sitting and listening.

This is hands-on learning, shared meals, kids underfoot, and room to be human. 💞

🌿 What You Might Experience

Workshops are peer-led and meant for all skill levels, shared by seasoned workshop presenters and grassroots educators. Offerings are still unfolding, but may include:

🔥 Biochar + soil regeneration  
🛠️ Rocket stoves + appropriate technology  
🔧 Repair culture + simple infrastructure  
🥬 Seasonal kitchen + food preservation  
🌳 Land + permaculture practices  
🌀 Facilitation + conflict navigation basics  
🌬️ Nervous-system regulation tools (optional + invitational)  
🎶 Music, storytelling, evening fire circles  

We’re inviting 5–7 presenters this year, including members of Soul Fire Forest — with more to be announced as applications come in.

You don’t need land.  
You don’t need experience.  
You don’t need to have it figured out.

Kids are welcome. Play is welcome. Rest is welcome. 🌟


🌼 Farm &amp; Forest Exchange

We're experimenting with a barter and buy market- a space for sharing handmade goods, art, farm abundance, plants, and local creations. 🌿✨No reselling of mass produced items- all local and handmade.

No vending fees.  
No expectation to sell all weekend.

We’ll host designated exchange windows so everyone can participate fully in the gathering without being glued to their tables. This is for new and experimenting small businesses, homesteaders excited to share their abundance, and seasoned vendors alike.


🍽️ Food &amp; Meals

You’re welcome to bring your own food for the weekend.

Friday evening is a full community potluck 🍲🥗🍞 — simple, ready-to-share dishes are encouraged. 
Saturday dinner can be potluck or purchased — your choice.

Circle Pines Center will offer optional meal purchases for:
🥞 Saturday breakfast  
🥗 Saturday lunch  
🍲 Saturday dinner  
🥞 Sunday breakfast  
🥗 Sunday lunch  
Their food is DELICIOUS, healthy, and can be made for any dietary preferences.

We want food to feel generous, not stressful.

🏕️ Camping &amp; Accommodations

Free tent camping available on site. ⛺

Cabins, lodge rooms, and shared accommodations are available to rent through Circle Pines Center. 🏡  
RVs may be possible — we’ll confirm details with CPC.

Lodging and meals are additional costs beyond your event ticket.

👨‍👩‍👧 Families &amp; Kids

All ages welcome. 🌟  
Please keep an eye on little ones around fire, tools, and water.  
Children’s laughter and movement are part of the weekend’s rhythm.

🎟 Ticket Options

We use a sliding scale so Root to Rise can be accessible while still sustaining the work that makes it possible.

Choose the tier that feels honest and doable for you. No proof. No explanation. Just trust.

🌱 Seedling – $85 (Weekend)

This rate is for those who need the gathering to be as financially accessible as possible.

If funds are tight right now, if you’re stretching to make it work, or if paying more would create stress — this tier is here so you can still come practice community with us.

You belong here.

🌿 Sapling – $150 (Weekend)

This is the true-cost, balanced rate.

If you’re able to comfortably cover your expenses and want to meet the event at its real operating cost, this tier helps sustain presenters, space rental, supplies, and the behind-the-scenes labor that makes the weekend flow.

🌳 Canopy – $250 (Weekend)

This rate helps the whole forest.

If you’re in a season of financial steadiness or abundance, choosing Canopy helps subsidize Seedling tickets and work-trade spots. It directly supports accessibility and allows us to keep building this kind of gathering.

Higher tiers aren’t about status — they’re about shared support.

👦🧒 Kids and Teens

Kids under 12 FREE 💃
Teens 13-18 &amp; $40 suggested for the weekend 

🌞 Day Passes Available

Saturday Day Pass – Sliding scale $65–$125  
Sunday Day Pass – Sliding scale $45–$85  

Day passes include access to workshops, exchange windows, and community spaces for that day. Meals and lodging are additional.

🤝 Work-Trade

A limited number of work-trade spots are available for those who would love to attend but need additional financial flexibility. Roles may include setup, meal support, cleanup, or space tending.

Limited work-trade roles available:
Pre-event setup  
Meal support  
Cleanup  
Space tending  

We want everyone who feels called to have a path in.

🌲 Root to Rise: Wisdom in the Pines is part of our living lab- practicing the relationships and skills we hope will grow far beyond a single weekend.

Come learn.  
Come try.    
Come spend the weekend thinking: "These are my people." 💞
