Your Convergence Packing Essentials 📋
Sure, you know to pack a change of clothes (or three!), but let's dive deeper into creating the perfect Convergence experience. Here's your comprehensive packing guide for three days of learning, connecting, and growing together in Wisconsin's beautiful Northwoods:
🍽️ Community & Nourishment
Plate/dish/silverware – We're keeping it sustainable! Bring your favorite reusable dining set
Friday night potluck contribution (optional but encouraged!) – Share a dish that represents your region or growing experiments. Please clearly label any allergens so everyone can enjoy safely
Water bottle – Stay hydrated during workshops and adventures
Personal snacks – Trail mix for those workshop energy boosts!
🔧 Learning & Creating
Notebook and pencil – Capture all those "aha!" moments and new connections
Backpack or day bag – Perfect for carrying supplies between workshops
Any special tools/items mentioned in your chosen workshop descriptions
Items for the trade blanket – Bring seeds, starts, handmade items, or tools to share with fellow permaculturists
🏞️ Northwoods Adventure Ready
Swimming gear and towel – Holiday Acres' pristine lakes are calling!
Sturdy outdoor shoes – Many workshops happen in gardens, forests, and fields
Rain gear and layering clothes – September in Wisconsin can surprise us! Think cozy mornings, warm afternoons, and crisp evenings
Toiletries – Don't forget the essentials
Tick and bug spray – Woodland wisdom includes being prepared
🎵 Community Connection
Musical instruments or hand drums – Evening gatherings around the fire are magical with music
Open heart and curious mind – The most important items you'll pack!
🏕️ Accommodation Essentials
Full camping gear (if you're embracing the outdoor experience – unless you've secured a room or cabin)
🏨 Last-Minute Lodging Options
Feeling like camping might be a bit much? You might still be able to snag a discounted room or cabin at Holiday Acres Resort! There's something beautifully grounding about staying right where the magic happens – waking up to the sounds of the forest, stepping out your door into morning workshops, and falling asleep to the gentle lapping of lake water.
