Our Northern California Regional Ambassador, Alex Audet, is gathering readers for a weekend of camping, shared food, and community on the shore of Clear Lake.

Come join us in Northern California October 3rd–4th for a night under the stars and next to the waters of Clear Lake State Park!

“We will dip back into the resource of community when our hearts unite in common aspirations and connect with the healing elements of nature.”

✅ A night under the stars beside the waters of Clear Lake
✅ An evening potluck — bring something nourishing to share
✅ Community, common aspirations, and the healing elements of nature
✅ Campsites are about $30 — Alex can reserve one for you

The Weekend

Gathering starts at 2 p.m. with potluck at 5:30 p.m. Arrive by 2 p.m.; departure anytime Sunday.

What to Bring

Bring clothes for warm days in the 80s and cool evenings in the low 40s. Reach out to me if you need help finding camping gear! Otherwise bring any other foods you feel will be good for your sustenance over the weekend!

Evening Potluck

Please come with something nourishing to share for an evening potluck. Some in the community will be more comfortable with vegetarian and gluten-free foods, though feel free to bring anything that lights you up sharing it!

Finding Us

RSVP to learn where to find me. I would like to have a complete guest list rather than people showing up.

Park Fees

Campsites are about $30 per site. Clear Lake State Park also charges a vehicle entry fee of $10.00 per vehicle (for 9 persons or fewer); seniors receive a $1 discount, bringing their rate to $9.

RSVP

Please RSVP by Sunday, September 27 (or until the campground is full) to alexander.c.audet@gmail.com or through Telegram @Watercello, and let me know if you would like me to reserve a campsite for you or if you will reserve your own!
