Want to help our guest speakers and bands settle in and find what they need during festival? Maybe you’ll help guest speakers set up for their workshops or assist in delivering food/drinks to the band. Maybe you can give them a tour around Spirit Haven Ranch. Volunteer with our Guest Speaker Coordinator and Entertainment Team to make our special guests feel welcome.

General questions? Email our leads: festival.entertainment@spirit-haven.org

Stage Crew: Know your way around audio equipment? Assist our with setup for bands and performers! Questions about stage crew assignments? Email the Entertainment Coordinator: entertainment.coord@spirit-haven.org (Volunteer spots are limited.)

Want to help build the magic of Revel? Don’t mind some physical labor? Great with energy work? Awesome! You’d fit in perfectly! Fire crew is looking for people to help build the fire physically and energetically.

Questions? Email the Fire Chief: fire.chief@spirit-haven.org

Hey look, a new Community Service! Wanna check out Fire Crew but don’t have the mobility to throw trees? Then keep us hydrated instead! We need volunteers to make sure we are properly hydrated so we can build up the magic of Revel Fire!

As part of the Front Gate Team, you will help in directing the flow of check-in for festival.

Questions? Email the Gate Lead: gate.lead@spirit-haven.org

Volunteer spots are limited.

Come serve your community as a Guardian! We walk the property to promote physical and spiritual safety during festival. Enjoy delicious coffee, silly meetings, inside jokes, radio hijinks, and sometimes, sometimes… even a chance to save the day (no promises)!

Questions? Email the Safety Services Lead: safetysvc.lead@spirit-haven.org

Volunteer spots are limited. Good shoes and full-coverage clothing are required on shift, and new volunteers will need to attend Guardian 101 Training.

Greet the early risers in the coffee shop! Help with setup/cleanup of supplies and keep the coffee brewing, the drinks pouring, and the conversation flowing.

Questions? Email the Tearoom Lead: tearoom.lead@spirit-haven.org

Join the team at Mathew’s Self Healing Station! We need volunteers to assist with our self-serve First Aid station, helping folks with things like minor injuries, bug bites, sunburn, or overheating. There will be tasty cookies, plenty of laughs, camaraderie, and of course, chicken jokes.

Questions? Email the Safety Services Lead: safetysvc.lead@spirit-haven.org

Volunteer spots are limited. First Aid training is not required, however, wearing full-coverage clothing on shift is very much required.

Come join the crew that finishes preparing the land and gathering the wood for festival. Your activities could include preparing food for the crew’s community kitchen, harvesting or splitting wood, setting up carports or equipment, mowing a Sacred Space, painting, and more. This is a multiple day commitment and request submission and approval is required. Approval qualifies you for complimentary Wednesday Early Entry. There are a limited number of spots for Setup/Teardown, so get your request in early!

Festival community service

Festivals are huge events that require a lot of work to put on. As an entirely volunteer-run organization, Spirit Haven needs your help to make sure Festivals run as smoothly as possible. You’ll make a few new friends no matter what you’re up to!

All adults who purchase a Full Event registration are required to do (at least) two hours of community service at Festival. During the registration process, you’ll need to choose two Community Service options. You may not get your first choice community service option or general time slot, but we do try very hard to accommodate everyone.

Join a volunteer team

There’s plenty of work to do. Did you enjoy your festival community service and decide you’re ready to step up? Reach out to the team lead! Are you good at copy editing? Consider joining our Policy Committee! Know of some good spots to hang flyers or run a booth? Give being an Area Representative a shot! Do you resonate with a particular Sacred Space at Spirit Haven Ranch? Reach out to that Sacred Space Coordinator to see if they need an assistant! Want to step up and contribute more to maintaining and nurturing Spirit Haven Ranch? Reach out to the Ranch Team – we need your help! Not sure where you’d like to contribute your time, but have a niche skill? Reach out to the Board – they’ll know where you can best help!

WorkEnds

Ever wanted to learn how to identify native flora, build a structure, use a chainsaw, or weld – with a bunch of Pagans? You’ll love WorkEnds.

We tackle a wide variety of projects, including:

  • Working with foresters and soil specialists to encourage and protect our native ecology
  • Repairing ranch tools
  • Building and improving new structures
  • Maintaining and improving Sacred Spaces
  • Improving accessibility around the ranch

Spirit Haven, Inc. is an entirely volunteer operated organization that is privileged to own 100+ acres of land at Spirit Haven Ranch (SHR) where we host two Festivals annually. That takes a lot of resources!

Donations go directly to helping us continue to maintain our land and host these events. Donations also assist Spirit Haven in supporting our local volunteer fire department and statewide disaster relief efforts.
