Membership with the Primitive Festival Alliance
What is the PFA? When did that start? What??? Wanna just get your membership? Click Here!
The Primitive Festival Alliance is the non-profit entity that has supported and sponsored Summerstar all these years! Yep! The PFA was incorporated in 1992 in fact. In early years, we not only sponsored Summerstar, but we offered classes, drum jams, full moon and other rituals. However, as life moved on and things got busy, we pretty much just focused on Summerstar and poured all of our energy into our annual weekend together.
But now…with our move to private property we are moving back to offering more activities, not only at Fir Hollow, but in and around the South Sound area! So excited about this!!!
In order to support these activities, which includes our weekend retreat Summerstar, we are offering membership with the PFA.
Membership means that you get to attend Summerstar (a private family reunion/retreat) and you also are invited to attend any and all other Primitive Festival Alliance activities and ad-hoc weekend get-togethers.
Note that Summerstar still has a maximum site capacity and you still must register to attend.
An E-Newsletter is in development and will be emailed SOON! That will contain more information about planned activities, get-togethers (like a cooking club, “kid-star”- a weekend by and for kids only), and how you can join the PFA as a member.
Membership is open to adults only (18 years) and is $50 per year/ per adult. 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 must be paid no later than June 30th of each year.
