Pagan Spirit Gathering
Pagan Spirit Gathering (PSG) is a nature spirituality festival organized by Circle Sanctuary. First held in 1980, it has grown into one of the oldest and largest such events in the United States.[1] The gathering is held Sunday to Sunday during the week near the summer solstice, forming a temporary Pagan town each year.[2]
Festivals were first held in Richland County, Wisconsin, but outgrew the facilities and moved in 1997 to a location near Athens, Ohio, at Wisteria. PSG moved to Camp Zoe near Salem, Missouri in 2009, then to Stonehouse Farm near Earlville, Illinois in 2011. After a flash flood caused PSG 2015 to close early,[3] PSG moved to Tall Tree Lake near Vienna, Illinois.
The gathering went on hiatus in 2020[4] and virtual in 2021[5] as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.
