Event Logistics & Facilities
- The Venue: Hosted at the Seed of Life Essene Temple, a rustic 5-acre peace sanctuary located on Highway 290 at Rocky Creek on the Texas Wine Trail (one hour west of Austin, one hour north of San Antonio).
- Milestone Gathering: This marks our inaugural fundraiser and consciousness-raising event to kick off our newly acquired 508(c)(1)(a) tax-exempt faith-based status.
- Production Assets: Small outdoor stage setup with an integrated PA system, professional microphones, and sound engineering. Live instruments (drums, keyboards, amplifiers) are fully available on-site for visiting performers.
- The Environment: The land is partially developed and primitive—featuring port-a-potty, bucket toilets, solar showers, or spring-fed creek bathing—mirroring the natural lifestyle of the ancient Essenes. We also have several outbuildings that include a tv room, library, gallery, healing ‘cave,’ and a ‘not yet certified’ community kitchen trailer.
- Accommodations: Primitive campsites are available for overnight guests to experience a modified, nature-aligned observance of Sukkot (The Feast of Tabernacles).
Proposed Schedule
- Friday (Shabbat): Opening ceremony, evening guest speaker introduction, campfire fellowship, and ecstatic dancing.
- Saturday (Shabbat): Morning meditation, specialized daytime speaker panels, hands-on workshops, and guided land activities. Saturday evening features our Keynote Speaker Presentation, followed by live music and drum circles.
- Sunday: Inspirational morning message, praise music, and a communal sharing circle before departure.
Business Model
Seedling Stock is an inaugural, donation-funded revival organized under our 508(c)(1)(a) faith-based status, utilizing volunteer staffing, love offerings, and camping registrations to fund the long-term establishment of our physical Essene sanctuary
