Sacred Harvest Festival 2015

“Tribal Evolution”

Monday August 3rd – Sunday August 9th

Our eighteenth year is about change. We are moving to Northern Minnesota under a bright star lit sky.  SHF is built and made magic by our festivants each year, and we have the chance to redefine our priorities and path forward.  Drum and dance until late,  create enriching rituals, and bask in our famous tribal community.  Our theme, “Tribal Evolution” delares we are ready to listen and welcome new hands and hearts to a new home. The future unfolds before us, will you be a part of it?

Sacred Harvest Festival has welcomed well over a thousand unique individuals who have made our tribe flourish. Pagans and nature worshipers and their children and elders come together once again for a week of joy, fellowship, and learning.

We are your People, … Join Us !

ENTERTAINERS & MUSICIANS

Kari Tauring

Kari Tauring will be both offering workshops and a performance.

She expresses her ethnic heritage through traditional and original music, story telling, runes and dance. Her performances and workshops tell the stories, traditions, and spiritual roots of Nordic people from ancient times through the Immigrant Era.

Volva Stav is a contemporary expression of this deep root. Her music is vocal-centric with ancient languages looped through modern technology creating a fabric of sound that stirs the soul. Kari brings deep knowledge and artistry to her presentations with the humor of one whose people helped shape the cultures of Minnesota and Wisconsin.
