Serpent Mound Star Knowledge Fall Equinox/Full Moon Peace Summit
On a full moon, envision a profound convergence of ancient wisdom from across the universe, situated within a five-mile-wide meteor impact crater. Woodland Escape is situated on the eastern side of the crater rim, and Serpent Mound is on the western side; they are united by a fault line. The Peace Summit is a sacred space promoting a culture of compassion, love, and unity.
We feature live music, drumming, ceremony, and remarkable vendors.
