The Wild Circle is the ongoing, in-person heart of Altered States Alliance. A home for alternative living, art, self-discovery and real friendships — whether you're just curious or you've lived outside the usual lines for years.
Meet your people.
Come solo, bring a friend, trade stories, share food and find connections that last beyond a weekend.
Explore freely.
Experience a little wonder and a lot of creativity, without pressure to follow any particular path or belief.
TWO WAYS TO GATHERA little structure.
A little structure.
A lot of soul.
Workshops give us something new to discover. Social gatherings give us room to just be together. Both keep our community alive between the larger ASA festivals.
Workshop gathering
Get your hands into something.
Learn practical skills, make things, ask questions and stay to share a potluck. Guest facilitators and community members both bring knowledge to the circle.

ALL PATHS WELCOME
You don't need to fit a mold.
Off-grid curious? Artist? Maker? Nature lover? Free thinker? Just looking for something different? You belong in the conversation.
The spiritual side of The Wild Circle is gentle and optional: connection with nature, reflection, seasonal moments, and respecting each person's own beliefs.

Good stories don't happen
on a screen.
From hands-on workshops to themed nights under the stars and the March festival weekend—there's always another reason to come together.
A COMMUNITY YOU HELP CREATENot an audience.
Not an audience.
An alliance.
Some people come to learn. Others come to teach. Many end up doing both. That's the point.
Show up.
Choose a workshop or gathering that sparks your curiosity. There's no experience requirement.
Connect.
Meet other people, swap skills and ideas, and discover new ways to take part.
Contribute.
Share a skill, help organize, create an experience or support the community's future.
GOOD TO KNOW
Your questions, answered.
Do I need to live an alternative lifestyle already?
Not at all. We welcome the curious just as much as experienced homesteaders, makers, artists, travelers and other unconventional folks.
Is The Wild Circle a religious or spiritual group?
No. We're primarily an alternative-lifestyle community. Nature, creativity and reflection may play a role, but rituals and spiritual elements are optional, and all beliefs are welcome.
Are the workshops or gatherings free?
Workshop ticket and membership arrangements are being finalized. Some offerings may require a ticket or materials fee. Check current details before making plans.
Can I help teach or organize?
Absolutely. We want both invited specialists and community members to share meaningful skills. Reach out through the Get Involved page.
Is this separate from Altered States Alliance?
No. The Wild Circle is part of ASA, alongside larger community festivals and other ASA projects.
THE CIRCLE IS OPEN
Your kind of different
might be right here.
Whether you're ready to attend, teach, help build, or just find out more — we'd love to hear from you.
