After 25 years, we remain fully committed to providing a venue of sacred space and beauty. We are a loving community of heart minded, earth conscious and loving people devoted to our Mother, the Human Race and ensuring the sustainability of our Giving Earth.

All PFA events are private and each adult must be an active member in order to attend any event. Guests of the Cadre of Seven are the only exception. Membership dues are paid annually and the window to join is open from 8/1 to 7/4.
