hello, all!
just wondering who might be attending/considering going to R2R this year.
i’ll definitely be there, and here’s why:

1) support LOCAL
i do my best to support local food, locally made goods, & now here’s my chance to support a local hoop gathering! so much is happening in the hoop community all over the country, but never before in my back yard! i’ll be sure to show up & hoop it up at Return to Roots Hoop Gathering this year to be sure it continues to live on!

2) affordability, baby
most hoop gatherings are super pricey (start at $500 typically) and way out of my starving student budget. amazingly, the organizers of Return to Roots Hoop Gathering have put together all of the best things about a hoop gathering for only $325! they even offer awesome one-day passes that allow you to stay overnight! worth it? i think so!

3) intimacy. ooh, la la!
i am so excited to mingle & network with other hoopers! this will be my first hoop gathering & i am very excited that it is on the smaller side. less people means more opportunity to make friends & connections that will last. i won’t have to wait in line for a hot shower for hours, either. SCORE!

4) omg. omg. it’s BAX!
who wouldn’t love a chance to check out the hottest hoopstars of our time? these folks have been teaching all over the country & have the ability to unlock my limitless potential! they will offer techniques to help my performance & also my own teaching ability. plus, the gathering will be small enough for me to get some one-on-one attention & get to know these amazing people! instructors include: Brecken, Baxter & Anne from Hoop Path, Rich Porter, Safire, Malcolm Stuart, Miss Saturn, Abby from Hoola Monsters, Julia Hartsell, Nick Guzzardo. *swoon*

5) the food! nom. nom. nom!
while i often have to wonder whether the cuisine at any event will suit my special tastes, i have no doubt i’m going to be in face-stuffing heaven at R2R! the Namaste Cafe will be serving 3 delicious, local, organic, & animal-free meals every day! AH! someone pinch me! i’ll need to hire an assistant to restrain me from getting a fourth helping. any takers?

6) CAMPTASTIC
i am a lover of camping, but haven’t often been. i can’t wait to camp on this beautiful farm in the Poconos! not only will i get to experience the outdoors as they were truly meant to be seen, but i’ll be neighbors with awesome, supportive, & friendly hoopers! someone can pitch my tent for me, right? i’m not worried about going without a porcelain throne, either. they will have clean bathrooms & hot showers. *sigh* best way to camp!

7) all those extras for $FREE.99!
not only will i learn to hoop better, eat awesome food, & make new pals, i’ll also get to take part in an unending list of fun activities! yoga every morning will be a great way to start the day! i’ll definitely hit up the drum circles & fire jams. it will be my first time doing Acro Yoga and slackline, but i’m game! i’ll even get to spend bones at a marketplace filled with hoop-friendly goods! commence shopping binge!

YOU’LL BE THERE!
you will be there, won’t you? i’d LOVE to see you!
