In order to support these activities, we are offer Membership with the PFA. Our annual retreat and reunion is Summerstar, 4 day campout gathering. 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.
Membership is open to adults 18 years and over. It’s $50 per year, paid by July 4th. Children are free (17 years and younger) and are included in membership as long as they physically reside with the adult member. There are no tribe or group rates.
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.
