Due to the creation of a new soul (Fynn Alejandro Lighthouse), and our consequent lack of time and attention, the Soul of Creation Fest will be a simple family campout this year. No agenda, (or maybe we'll come up with one while we're there) just spending some time in nature together... we'll see what happens. Email us if you'd like to come along, and look for bigger plans next year.... oh yes, and try to make it to Papa Fest 2008
