Pagan Spirit Gathering

The Pagan Spirit Gathering (PSG) is one of the United States's oldest and largest nature spirituality festivals, organized by Circle Sanctuary.[1] Since its inception in 1980, it has been held from Sunday to Sunday during the week around the summer solstice. This gathering is set up to represent a temporary Pagan town.[2]

At first, the festivals were held in Richland County, Wisconsin, but it outgrew the facilities and in 1997 moved to a location near Athens, Ohio, at Wisteria. In 2009, PSG moved to Camp Zoe near Salem, Missouri, then in 2011, to Stonehouse Farm near Earlville, Illinois. After a flash flood caused PSG 2015 to close early,[3] PSG moved to Tall Tree Lake near Vienna, Illinois.

The gathering was on hiatus in 2020[4] and virtual in 2021[5] as the COVID-19 pandemic caused its cancellation.
