October Contact Night
43.86° N-89.75° WBortle 4Central Wisconsin
Saturday, October 3, 20266:00 PM — lateThe ranch · Central WisconsinFree
A monthly contact night — group meditation and the CE-5 protocol under a dark Central Wisconsin sky.
We meet at the ranch as the sky darkens — a short welcome for newcomers, then the CE-5 protocol as a group, and the rest of the night spent watching, listening, and sharing what we notice. Free and open to all, no experience needed. Come and go as you like.
