Rainbow Lightning Fundraiser | Ecstatic MiniFest Campout 2026

🌿⚡ DRUMMING UP THE MYCELIUM ⚡🌱
Ancestral Ecstatic Campout Fundraiser 2026
Presented by Ecstatic Movement Tribe, Rhythm Sanctuary & Ministry of Movement
Join us for a magical family-friendly fundraiser gathering supporting Rainbow Lightning, a non-profit devoted to creating safe, empowering, and nature-centered spaces where children can play, connect, explore, and thrive in community.
This gathering is rooted in the belief that our children deserve spaces filled with creativity, freedom, movement, expression, music, nature, and authentic connection. Together, we come not only to celebrate life and community but to help nourish future generations.
🌈✨ This year’s theme, Drumming Up the Mycelium, is an invitation to reconnect with the Earth, awaken the ancestral wisdom within us, and remember the invisible threads that bind us all together like the living mycelial networks beneath the forest floor.
Join us for an unforgettable evening and overnight gathering of rhythm, movement, music, prayer, healing, and celebration as we honor the cycles of transformation, death and rebirth, and our sacred connection to the ancestors and the Earth itself.
We invite you to gather around the drum, dance beneath the stars, and co-create a living prayer through movement and sound.
