Special Thangs
The Summer Revival strives to curate unique, culturally rich , experimental and participatory installations. Scroll down for some of the most inspirational people and concepts imaginable. These are places you can play, pray, learn and nourish yourself in all the best ways... Enjoy!
The Living Stage
Earth & Spirit Elixir Bar
Reishi's Herbal Elixir Bar offers handcrafted botanical drinks designed to nourish body, mind, and spirit. Featuring organic herbs, adaptogens, cacao, and plant-based tonics, these vibrant elixirs invite guests to slow down, sip deeply, and connect with the wisdom of the plants. A cozy gathering spot for refreshment and conversation, the Elixir Bar will be snugged up inside the Living Room.
Orbis Globe Installation
Orbis Globes is suspending from the ridge of the Lantern Barn a hyper-realistic 14' wide Earth installation - designed by Eric Morris. Anchoring the Main Stage as a breathtaking centerpiece, rotating slowly, and dynamically lit, it creates an immersive, in-the-round experience as music unfolds beneath. At peak moments, the globe will descend into the crowd, bringing our shared planet into collective awareness.
The Traveling Spectacular
Local magician Tobias Weinberger is bringing his portable steampunk stage - on the back of a 1950's International Truck - to this year's Summer Revival! Magic shows will happen daily at lunch, and at other times the stage will be made available to the Family Zone, puppeteers, and impromptu artistic expressions of all kinds! Such a "spectacular" offering!
Savvy Food Company
Portland-based Savvy Food Co will be the main food vendor at Summer Revival. Ian, Dana and their team focus on connecting people to quality food and to each other. This July they'll have a wide range of offerings: Congee, Oat Bowls, Wood-Fired Chicken, Rockfish, Buddha Bowls, Salad Bowls, Wraps, Pulled Pork, Burgers, Soups etc. (And everything will be kept under $15/plate!). Come enjoy this quality food, prepared by very quality humans. You won't regret it!
Kids & Family Zone
The Family Zone is a playful, creative hub nestled in an apple grove at the heart of our venue. Featuring an arts & crafts tent and a whimsical steampunk stage, youth activities will be offered during every block of adult programming, . Enjoy kids acroyoga, youth choir, wand making, pottery, lawn games, puppet shows, and magic shows. Come explore, create, and play together! (NOT CHILD CARE FYI. Be responsible y'all).
COMMUNITY ALBUM RECORDING
The Anthems Project records ecstatic moments of group song in studio quality, then mixes/masters them into albums for all to enjoy. On Friday night at the Summer Revival, a small group of incredible song carriers will lead 500 of us in 8 wild & meaningful choral arrangements, "laying it down" for generations to come. These are very unique opportunities to be a part of history in the making. Come add your voice!
Pixie Medicine Tent
The Pixie Traveling Medicine Tent is a whimsical apothecary and gathering space devoted to the magic of bees, botanicals, and ancient fermentation traditions. Rooted in reverence for honey, mead, and plant medicines, it invites guests to sip, learn, and reconnect with nature’s sweetness. Part tasting room, part storytelling hearth, the Pixie Tent celebrates the alchemy of hive, earth, and community.
Gong Fu Tea Tables
The tea tables at Summer Revival are cozy, Bedouin-style sanctuaries with floor pillows, ambient decor, and a steady flow of fine herbal and caffeinated teas. Hosted by a dedicated team of servers - and open to guest pouring - these spaces invite slow presence, connection, and ritual. Open 24/7, these are places to sip, soften, and gather with new and old friends alike! (Donations very welcome. Tip your pourers & supplier!)
The Touch Sanctuary
The Touch Sanctuary is a cozy, low-stimulation tent where participants can explore consent-forward, non-sexual touch, embodied play, and somatic awareness. Guided by an experienced, gender-inclusive team, workshops offer practical consent skills and gentle practices for all experience levels. Touch is always optional—resting, witnessing, and moving at your own pace are fully welcomed in this nourishing space.
GOD WANTS TO PLAY Installation
An immersive spiral installation by Brazilian artist Maira Peralta exploring identity, immigration, womanhood, and spirituality. What begins as playful becomes intimate and embodied as participants move through paintings, sculpture, and interactive art. The spiral invites reflection, participation, and transformation - revealing art as initiation, identity as layered, and body as a living architecture of belonging.
Mycelial Matchmaking
After a heart-warming debut at Conscious Growth Convergence, Reishi Strauss is bringing an area dedicated to helping people find sweetness in their lives. Whether you're looking for a lifetime partner or a cute Revival date, this table can support. Through 3x5 cards, a polaroid camera, and sweet notes asynchronously passed back and forth, Reishi's bringing Match.com to the real world! (Trust us, it's great).
The field notes project
Placed throughout the gathering will be hundreds of thoughtful & hilarious quotes & prompts. These small invitations to notice, connect, and participate will meet you where you are while offering subtle guidance toward deeper engagement with your inner and outer environments. Some may pass by unnoticed, while others keep popping out to you. Take em or leave em. (There'll be tons for folks to take home too!)
Heart tenders team
Every Revival Gathering is communally tended by a team of volunteers with red arm bands. Led by elder Collin Brown & Elia Serras, this team is hand-selected based on their emotional attunement and capacity for holding space. If you're needing some support and see somebody wearing a red arm band, feel free to pull them aside for 10-15 minutes of empathy. If more is needed, they'll find further resources for your care.
Beautiful camping GROVE
The Lantern's Alder Grove is such a sweet place to set up camp, meet new friends, and enjoy the shade in summertime heat. Backed up to Tarboo Creek, this rich valley forest is perfect for hammocks, camp kitchens, and long naps. Arrive early to get the best spot, first come, first served! (ADA bathrooms and handwashing stations nearby, and the grove is only a 50-300' walk from the main areas depending on where you camp).
Altars & Decor
Revivals are adorned with lush, immersive decor, beautiful rugs, hundreds of floor pillows, and glowing candlelight, creating warm and inviting spaces to nestle in. Non-denominational altars are woven throughout, surrounded by moss, ferns, branches, and flowers. Colorful uplighting and hundreds of flags dance overhead, transforming the grounds into a vibrant, living tapestry of beauty, reverence, and celebration.
The Grief Altar
Revival welcomes the full spectrum of our emotional bodies, especially in times like these. The Grief Altar is a quiet space to visit as you feel called: To honor loss, to feel care, and to weave remembrance. Stay as long as you need. Write a note or bring something meaningful to the altar. Tended by experienced spaceholders, this is a sacred area for tenderness, witnessing, and our collective need for feeling deeply.
