Events

Join us for another fabulous weekend at the largest film festival of its kind. The Wild & Scenic Film Festival sits apart from the hundreds of festivals around the world by leaving you feeling INSPIRED and MOTIVATED to go out and make a difference in your community and the world. As a festival by activists and for activists, Wild & Scenic is organized and produced by SYRCL (the South Yuba River Citizens League). Since 1983, we’ve been building a community to protect and restore the rivers of our home watershed, from source to sea. The Wild & Scenic Film Festival puts our local work – and yours too – into the broader environmental and social context, and serves to remind us that we’re participants in a global movement for a more wild and scenic world.

SYRCL’s Wild & Scenic Film Festival (Jan 17-21, 2019, Nevada City & Grass Valley, CA) inspires people to heal the earth. Our 5 day event each January is a call to action. Festival-goers are transformed into activists dedicated to saving our threatened planet. - Our environmental and adventure films illustrate the Earth’s beauty. They also show the challenges facing our planet and the communities working to protect it. - We raise resources for SYRCL to recover California’s wild salmon and protect the Yuba River. In addition, SYRCL’s Film Festival On Tour is a national platform for environmental advocacy. -

Join us for a winter weekend of nature wonder. The weekend will be about adventure, relaxation, connection, and celebration of the winter season.

We will also have some winter fun (if we are blessed with snow). Finally, we are preparing some games and surprises for you. Adults, children, elders are all invited. - We will be situated on the magical Columcille Megalith Park grounds, in Bangor, PA. Columcille Megalith park is a wooded park with 20 acres of serene trails, standing rocks and art installations. It is also Sacred Land.

Women of the Woods is a women led rewilding retreat located in the beautiful PNW! To us, rewilding means all of the ways we bring ourselves back in sync with the natural world we live in. It is so important, now more than ever, that we learn how to live peacefully and lovingly with each other and nature. Women’s voices have long been missing, and we believe there is power in our stories, power that could change the world. We wish to celebrate that power, the power of women, all women, not just cis gendered women, not just privileged women, because our true power lies in cherishing all experiences. Mother Nature taught us that. - So, come spend the weekend at Camp Singing Wind learning from women, buying from women, and celebrating women. We invite men (all men) to join us in this experience, to shrug off the pressures to lead and fix and instead learn to support and listen. Now is the time to redefine how to be human. - There will be opportunities for learning, sharing, relaxing, dancing, hiking, and building community to support each other. The event is designed around the concepts of Healing, Sustaining, Wilding, and Creating. Living in balance is a multifaceted experience! Take time to introduce yourself to new skills, take time to rejuvenate your spirit and body, take time for yourself, and take time to support the strong and resilient women around you who work for a better world. While you are at it, take some time in the woods. - -
