Frequent Questions

What’s are addresses to the faerie houses?

Ask your local faerie friend, or contact Oracle on Signal: @Shivian.13 – also, for the safety of our community, never post the address to a faerie house on social media, in a group chat room, or any other public space.

I can only come to parts of the Summer Gatherette. Is that okay?

Yes, of course! Please attend whenever events you wish!

Will food be provided during the Summer Gatherette?

The only communal meal will be Potluck on night on Thursday, July 30th at WanderHaus. Other than that, communal meals will not be provided. Please plan accordingly.
