Spring Mythnic

PLEASE NOTE: The Mythnic has been cancelled for 2020. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, San Mateo County Parks cancelled all existing reservations and suspended making new ones through December 31st. We hope to be able to hold the event next spring/summer but it will depend on how things develop. As of 9/30/2020 there is no date confirmed. You can email Arethinn at (arethinn at eristic dot net) to express your interest, but registration is currently closed.

near Redwood City, California
(Exact location given to meetup members or upon advance paid registration.)

What's a "Mythnic", you may ask? It's a Mythic Picnic! At this one-day gathering (minigather) of Other-folk, we may have a couple of workshops or discussions on topics of interest to otherkind; rituals or energy workings; majikal crafting sessions; a mythic poetry slam around a barbecue or other campfire subsitute (sorry, campfires not allowed at this site); and plenty of time for games, walking in the woods, and just plain hanging out.

Facilities: The picnic site has tables, built-in barbecues, potable water, and flush toilets. A small "amphitheater" is set off from the dining area (we may use it for workshops). Parking is right next to the site.
Some pictures (1.0-1.6 MB each): 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10

Food and Drink: Plan to bring your own lunch/dinner, snacks, and beverages. Some meat and vegetables to share for grilling may be available depending on demand (there is a question about this on the registration form).

Crafters: Do you make something majikal? This could include jewelry, artwork, clothing, zines or chapbooks, homemade oils and incense, musical recordings... there is no fee to bring some of your wares along for perusal, but please ask first when you register for the Mythnic.

Registration: Deadline is Saturday, June 6th. There is no set event fee, but a contribution of $10-15 is suggested to help share the cost of reserving the site. (Pay what you can; no one turned away for lack of funds. A $6 vehicle entrance fee is due directly to the park.)
