We Also Understand That Several Ecological And Physiological Factors Inform How We Each Choose To Relate To This Timeless Practice Of Nourishing Our Bodies.

At The EcoSex Convergence We Are Offering Several Options For How Participants Nourish Their Bodies During The Gathering. For New And Returning Participants, Please Be Sure To Read On Below, As The Options To Nourish Your Body Are Different From Previous Years.

Each Of The Forest Camping Sites Has An Above Ground Fire Pit With A Grill Provided By The Venue, And Several Of These Above Ground Fire Pits Are Available To Those Who Will Be In The Camping Meadow. Participants Are Invited To Bring Your Favorite Camping Foods And Prepare It On The Grills Provided Or To Bring Your Own Camp Stove To Prepare Your Food. We Recommend Bringing A Cooler To Store Your Food Out Of The Reach Of Critters.
