2013: the mandala tipi and the cabins

Winter in the bunker, then in spring the building of the 25-foot mandala tipi, log by log, and of the yellow cabins perched in the spruces.

Tatanka 2013

June 28 to July 1, 2013, the 2nd Tatanka: tents in the plantation, painted banners between the trees, the crowd in front of the perched stage. "The famous plugs on the trees!"

The Self-Managed Camp 2013

July 26 to 30, 2013: "A great opportunity to share knowledge and experience, creativity and wonder! On the menu: herbalism, making mother tinctures, ironwork, sociocracy, a storytelling evening, jam sessions…" And "a collective work party to channel the stream and gather clay in order to build a greenhouse/earthship". The hand-drawn map of L'AgorA dates from that summer, as does the album of the forest's mushrooms, identified in the comments: tawny grisette, flaky chanterelle.

Building the Neverland

Late August and September 2013: the big stage rises from the ground in logs and hay bales, under its blue tarp, with its lights.

Earthdance 2013, 4th edition

September 20 to 22, 2013, the Neverland's first Earthdance, one stage outside and one in the bunker: Magiq Color, Bradycardie, the Afrobeat Orchestra of Jeunesse Cosmique, Mille Rosado, FreeWorm, Dugong, Neo Tetsuo Tek, Monokongo, Rikam, Red Electric Earth… Prayer for peace at 7 p.m. on Saturday. And live painting by EP1C. Four years later, Anthony wrote under a photo: "Haha I was just thinking about that fabulous stage today, great memories."

Fall 2013 and Back to Earth

Graffiti on the concrete walls, the signposts, then on December 21, "Back to Earth": "Just because it's winter doesn't mean we can't throw an Earth party!!! We build COB walls by day, and we DANCE at night." Cob, "a mixture of clay, sand, straw and water".
