Wow, it’s happening! We are finally coming together again! I am so excited to see everyone in just a few weeks. Some of you know me and some of you don’t, I’m Lacey-AKA Tutu. You will know me because I will be in a Tutu 90% of the festival. I am the gatherer, runner and keeper of the kids. I run the kids events at the festival and love every second of it.
The kids at Untamed are being called the Hatchlings, Sprouts and Cubs. At Untamed you see a canopy marked HSC- that’s the starting point for most Hatchling, Sprouts and Cubs’ activities.
This year I am focusing on learning the lay of our brand new land and exploring the festival. It’s brand new, exciting and coming together beautifully. The land is sculpted to be a giant playground. We have plenty of open space, along with trees to play amongst and a small creek to splash in (per parents permission of course). I have come up with a wide variety of activities to help us grow our minds and feel our soul with quiet practices, explorative practices and creating with our hands. At the end of the night we will come together to drum, sing and tell stories. I can’t WAIT to see you and your children there!

This festival is so important to me personally because it is so needed in my life right now. I am in need of community, connection and lets be real, CAMPING! I look forward to seeing all of us gathered once again in one place with excitement and love flowing out of us. As you are comfortable, make new connections, reconnect with old friends and find some peace in this ever changing world. Use this weekend to leave your business life in the mundane world and come out to Celebrate You and be Untamed!
Blessings!
