🌿 Vendor Spotlight — Meet Makayla & Kelly of Serenita Stregheria

Some of the best things start with houseplants and heart. Serenita Stregheria is a mother–daughter duo who grew their shared love of plants, nature, and the quiet magic of everyday life into something they now get to bring into the world together. Their work is rooted in soft strength — offerings crafted to meet you exactly where you are.

At the Convergence, they'll be sharing crystals, herbal blends, spell kits, handcrafted metaphysical tools, balms, salves, journals, and more. Makayla is also on her path to becoming an herbalist, and this year she's sharing herbal remedies she's been creating along the way — so you may just catch something still taking root.

Come find them on the trail and let their calm, grounded energy find you. 🌙🌱

🌿 Seeking Volunteers – The Cottonwood Convergence 🌿

We’re currently seeking volunteers to help steward the space throughout the day — from vendor support and trail walking to parking, check‑in, and event set‑up/tear‑down.

We have 63 volunteer opportunities available across the event, and volunteers are welcome to select multiple time slots if they’d like to be more deeply involved.

Most roles are just a 2‑hour shift, and all selected volunteers receive:
✨ Complimentary admission
✨ A Volunteer T‑shirt
✨ First consideration for future opportunities

In June, we’ll be hosting virtual volunteer meet‑and‑greets on Zoom — an opportunity to connect, ask questions, and explore alignment (for you and for us) before stepping into a role. Dates will be announced soon.

A required in‑person volunteer walk‑through will be held on Sunday, October 4 from 1–3 PM.

If you feel called to support the Convergence in a meaningful way, we’d love to hear from you.

✨ Vendor Spotlight — Meet Amy Payson of The Rainbow Alchemist

Amy believes that every woman deserves to feel extraordinary in her own magic — and she's built an entire world of products to help her get there. She blends herbs into synergistic formulas designed to nourish the body and soul, and she brings a playful, colorful, sparkly energy to everything she makes, because she believes joy and play are just as essential for adults as they are for children.

At the Convergence, Amy will be sharing herbal tea blends, herbal sugars, balms and oils, perfumes, lotions, natural skincare, and ritual bath salts. Each one is crafted to feel less like a purchase and more like a small act of potion-making — simple rituals that remind you of the magic you already carry.

Come find The Rainbow Alchemist on the trail and let yourself be enchanted. 🌈🌿

🌿 Vendor Spotlight — Udderly Naked and Knotty

Wendy has been crafting natural soaps and body products since 2012 — and she achieved a little extra credibility along the way:

She is Nebraska's only certified soap maker, certified in 2013, and has since earned her advanced certification. When she's not in the soap studio, she's working on macramé and weaving, using up-cycled items and recycled cotton cords to create home décor that carries a quiet touch of the mystical.

At the Convergence, you'll find Wendy sharing her handcrafted goat milk soaps and all-natural body products alongside macramé and woven pieces incorporating crystals, moon phases, herbs, and essential oils. Featuring cotton macramé cords from recycled cotton clothing/fabric— no additional dye, no shortcuts, just beautiful, intentional work.

Come find her on the trail and bring something genuinely good home. 🌙🧼

Blue Full Moon • May 31st + Final Night for Early Bird Tickets

Today is the final day to receive the Early Bird ticket rate for the Cottonwood Convergence. You have until 11:59 PM to claim your discounted tickets before pricing shifts.

And honestly… it feels fitting that this final window arrives beneath the energy of the Blue Full Moon.

The Blue Full Moon rises on May 31st, carrying an energy that feels both rare and deeply illuminating.

A Blue Moon reminds us that not every moment is meant to be ordinary.
Some moments arrive to awaken us.
To shift us.
To remind us that magic often appears when we least expect it.

This moon shines a light on what has been growing beneath the surface — the emotions, dreams, lessons, and transformations quietly unfolding within us.

It asks us to pause and reflect:
-What am I ready to release?
-What truth am I finally ready to honor?
-What part of me is ready to fully emerge?

Under this moon, emotions may feel amplified, intuition may speak louder, and the pull toward alignment may become impossible to ignore.

Take time to step outside.
Feel the night air.
Sit beneath the glow of the moon and allow yourself to simply be.

This is a powerful moment for:
-Reflection
-Release
-Manifestation
-Deep intuitive connection

And as the moon rises over blooming fields, rustling trees, and sacred land, may it remind us that transformation does not need to be rushed. Nature never hurries… and yet everything blooms in its time.

May this Blue Full Moon bring clarity to your spirit, peace to your heart, and renewed trust in the path unfolding before you.

Courageously Curious. Rooted in the Land.
