UPDATE: ***Attention Important Announcement***

After much thoughtful discussion, it is with heavy hearts that we announce the cancellation of this year’s Magical Spaces. We understand that the current political and economic climate has created a great deal of anxiety and uncertainty for many in our community—as well as for small organizations and businesses like ours. Unfortunately, with low registration, it would be financially irresponsible to proceed with the event as planned.

All those who have registered will, of course, receive a full refund.

In place of the event, the staff will be gathering for a retreat of sorts. Our goal is to reflect on how we can move forward in a positive, sustainable, and connected way. We'll take this time to plan for the future, tend to some long-overdue tasks (perhaps even tackle those storage pods!), and enjoy the company of one another on the land we love.

We warmly invite members of the community to join us for this informal weekend. There will be no scheduled programming or official workshops, but there may be spontaneous potlucks, conversations, and laughter shared under the trees.

If you’d like to be part of the gathering—whether to talk, relax, or simply be present—please register directly through Gaea’s website and pay the usual day or camping fees. You’ll likely find us gathered up on the Ridge.

This will also be a valuable time for us to begin shaping Magical Spaces 2026. If you have ideas, feedback, or simply want to be part of imagining what comes next, we’d love for you to join the conversation.

We appreciate your understanding, support, and continued presence in our community.

Have you ever dreamed of going on an adventure but striking out on your own seems a bit overwhelming? What if you started out with friends both new and old, learning new skills or discovering new lands of magic along the way, as the paths meet, split, and wind back together. Come with us as we venture down less familiar paths in a quest to explore the connection to the magic both within and without, surrounding us all. Bring your knowledge, your understanding to a place where acceptance isn’t just a nice idea – it’s of the greatest importance. Your participation, with your fellow adventurers, make the quest possible. Think of this as the ultimate Create Your Own Adventure … except we are all adventuring together.
