IDA Werk Hard/Slay Hard Weather Update

Just a reminder to pack warm! While you can expect to see highs in the 60's throughout the week, we are expecting temperatures to drop to the 40's at night, so make sure to bring what you need to bundle up- this includes warm clothes as well as blankets and whatnot.  Additionally, we are expecting rain on several days during the workweek.  While we hope the skies won't rain on our parade, come prepared to deal with the potential for rain (rain boots, coats, etc.).  I know many of you have already started traveling our way so don't worry.  We have extra blankets and resources to help those who miss this message.  I can't believe it's only 2 days away! We'll see you soon!

Carpool

We know that it can be difficult to arrange transportation to and from IDA for events, so we have set up group ride shares for each of or upcoming summer events.  Please click the link for the event that you will be attending.  Make sure that you click the correct link so that there isn’t any confusion.  Hopefully this will help to streamline transportation for everyone! If you still have transportation needs, feel free to shoot us an email!

What to bring (and not bring) to IDA work and play events

Hey y'all! On behalf of all of the organizers of this event, let me say how excited we all are to see all of your beautiful faces!  We’ve been working hard to prepare the land for your arrival and thought this might be a great time to help make sure everyone who arrives is as prepared as possible for this week of joyfully celebrating queer music, art, and most importantly, LOVE!  It has been a while since we made a post about what to bring (and not bring) to Ida events. We have made many changes over the last two years and are very excited to continue sustaining community for all of you 💕.  As we become more focused in our intentions and priorities to this land and community, we want to make sure to be more active in our communications with the community served by this space.  Be on the lookout for increased social media activity and updates surrounding upcoming and future projects and events!

Twerk Hard/Slay Hard Pet Policy

While we appreciate all of the furry, scaly, and feathered companions who enrich the lives of or community members, we are unfortunately not in a position to handle the added responsibility that comes with hosting pets.  There is currently a pack of resident dogs at IDA and they can be rather cliquey.  While they work very well with humans, it would be best to limit the number of additional pets on the land. 

That being said, exceptions will be made for those who have service animals.  If you would like to request a service animal accompany you to this event, email [email protected]

If you do end up needing to bring a pet either as an a service companion or because you would be otherwise unable to attend, understand that your animal is your responsibility.  We ask that dogs remain on leashes.  Any animal who causes injury to another person or resident dog will be asked to leave the land.

IDA Spring work party 4/20-27th

Hey y'all,

As many of you know, IDA has undergone some extreme changes in focus, intent, and prioritization in the last couple of years. As with any major transitional periods, there were plenty of growing pains and lessons learned. As the dust settles we are realizing what great opportunity lies before us to hold space and cultivate enrichment for the community. With the community support we have recieved and continue to recieve, we are finally seeing what great power and responsibility we have to this space. As we continue working toward holding sustainable sanctuary and intentional space for healing, we welcome whatever input and support you are willing to provide.

We are holding a work party to re-establish existing infrastucture, much of which was damaged in a flood this past November.
