My Plans for Wild Goose Festival 2012
Wild Goose Festival 2012, also known now as Wild Goose East*, takes place this week here in North Carolina.
It’s the second year for this fantastic festival, and I’ve been so honored to be a small part of the planning and promotion of this wild and wonderful new space at the intersection of creativity, spirituality, music, and justice.
This year the festival schedule has been posted online well in advance of the event itself, and I’ve gone through and mercilessly planned out how I’m going to spend my days.**
Here’s what my Wild Goose Festival schedule looks like. What are you planning to do?
It’s not too late to come to the festival! If you’re within driving distance, please consider coming out for even just a day or two. Do not miss this awesome opportunity! Day passes and evening passes are available if that’s all you can afford to do time-wise or money-wise. (Use promotional code DISCIPLES to save 15% on tickets!)
