Divine Pine Gathering is a small-scale conscious festival focused on rewilding and foraging, live music, ancestral knowledge, healing, art, and movement practices. We are settled on a 42 acre homestead in the beautiful Irish Hills, Michigan, which the community recognizes as First Nations’ Land of Peoria, Fox, Potawatomi & Anishinabewaki people. Close to Brooklyn yet bordered by 876 acres of state land and lakes, DPG is as much a retreat into nature as it is a chance to connect to and learn from others. Divine Pine shows the power of love and community that results from gathering in an intentional way. Join us in 2024 for a long weekend of diving deep into our intuitive, true selves. We aim to reclaim the practices surrounding plants, movement, creativity and sustainability.
