Traditional Events
at Fellowship of the Spirit
| There is, however, a vast amount of fun about it all. |

Over the years, conference participants have created numerous events, which have become part of the FOTS tradition: |
- Jam Session
- Potluck Picnic
- Campfire Meeting

Jam Session
Bring yer git-fiddle and yer harmoniker.
Bring your saxophone and your clarinet.
Bring your singer, your clapper and your finger-snapper.
Mama don't 'low no frownin' roun' here!
It's a free-form, free-flowing hootenanny jam session for one and all. But don't be late comin' 'round the mountain; the jam session happens Thursday night, for a fun event kickoff.
Potluck Picnic
Jambalaya, Crawfish Pie, and who knows what! Friday at 11:30 AM we have a finger-lickin' good time. Cook something, bring something to cook, or visit the grocery across the road, but join us. Bring something to grill if you like and a sidedish to share.
The FOTS committee will provide some hamburgers, hot dogs, veggie burgers, and brisket. All tableware, drinks, condiments, barbecue pits, and charcoal will be provided.
Please also bring a blanket or your own folding chairs.
The picnic is free of charge.
Campfire Meeting
Mountain drought and fire restrictions have sometimes limited the flames, but intrepid FOTS participants always have a campfire meeting after the Friday night speaker. In some wet years, it's been a full-fledged bonfire. One very dry year it was a flashlight meeting. It can be a gas-fired fire ring, but it's always warm and spiritual. Bring a flashlight for easy navigating.
Dance
Music at the Saturday night dance this year is being provided by DJ Brett Star!
The theme for this year's dance is: Outer Space!
Dress in a futuristic space-age disco-trekkie style!
There is no charge for the dance.
Meditation
The book Alcoholics Anonymous suggests evening and morning prayer and meditation. Optional group meditations are a FOTS tradition. Come for a quiet time with your fellow trudgers on the Road of Happy Destiny—every day at 7:00 AM and 10:00 PM.
