Dragonz Wylde…
This is privately owned land, settled on close to 50 acres of the pine forest south of Bastrop, in a little town called Redrock. The land has been used for community events, festivals, and monthly drum circles for half a decade now. The organization ESA/ESP (Earth Spirit Alliance/Earth Spirit People) is affiliated with the land.
Portions of the land are used primarily for the gatherings, and other portions of the land we try to keep natural.
The land has a unique feel to it, for being hundreds of miles from the ocean. The ground is consisted mostly of sand similar to beach sand. During rains, it does not become muddy, nor does it flood easily. To be fair though, the only warning about sand is: Don’t drive on it if you can avoid it, you may get stuck. Stay on the roads.
There are several major trails leading into the wooded areas, that scatter out to provide a wonderful hike through what one could reminisce as: A forested-beach stroll.
Full Price Admission into Hawkfest is $40.00
Camping:
There is plenty of space for camping, whether in the fields, or under the canopy of trees along the trails.
We would like people to be aware, that there are a few private camps made by regular members and family. Please, be respectful of these campsites, and do not try to take them over or mess with any of the objects.
There are no RV hook-ups, though there is space for RV parking. RV parking should be consulted with a festival or land representative. We ask that no generators be ran during rituals, nearby workshops, or after 9pm.
We require that you be respectful of the environment when clearing for new campsites. There is no reason to chop down our brush and trees for a particular campsite. Please, share what is already developed, and new areas should only be added with permission from a representative of the land. There will be courtesy staff that will even help you setup a new campsite area, if the need arises.
As well, campfires in new camps should be only dug and operated with permission and basic safety rules applied. There should be no campfires unattended, and none underneath a canopy of trees. All campfires have to be approved, before being dug.
Amenities:
There is water available from a primary tap near the kitchen. Heated-shower stalls are setup near the entrance of the land. As well, water taps and cold-water showers have been installed in various locations around the land.
Power outlets have been installed in a few locations for use in running equipment/lighting for performers, vendors, and workshops only. Power use on the land is restricted to staff and those it is provided for.
There will be porta-potties provided in the primary gathering areas.
There are many structures on the land, ranging from the Kitchen building, Gaea’s Gate, Main Stage, all restricted for specific uses — to gazebos and sitting areas, that we use for workshops and guest speakers.
We have 3 main fire areas. One located within an enormous clearing. One nearby, encased within a little wood fence we built. The last, located on the main camping trail, inside a clearing a short ways into the woods.
Also, a playground with fort is near the primary gathering area, for kids.
Restrictions:
* No pets. Dragonz Wylde already has a few of it’s own, and we would rather not bring confrontations to the table during a festival. If an exception has to be made, it must be cleared with the LAND OWNER, prior to the festival date.
* No parking in campsites, there will be a designated parking area.
Regulations:
Most other Hawk fest Standards, Policies, and Regulations will still apply to this land.
Minors must be accompanied by a parent or guardian, the land has a clothing optional area (Marked on the maps) all other areas you must have your groin area covered. Topless is acceptable.
Illicit drug use of any kind is prohibited.
We want people to come, drum, dance, learn and enjoy the event.
There will be safety staff and representatives wearing badges. If there are any problems, these people are authorized to make decisions, or know who can make decisions.
Any kind of behavioral mishap, or violation of respect and rules, will result in immediate banning from the rights to be on the land and at the festival.

Dude,
Words can not adequately describe how hard this event rocked!
It was beyond audio-orgasm, pure transcendental rhythms… if you were sitting still, you weren’t there!
Looking forward to next year!

What a wonderful weekend it was!!! The music and drumming were awesome. Our community is incredible. So many times this weekend I looked around and thought to myself “I must have done something right to be so blessed as to have found my way into this community Jen
Hawkfest 2010 is in the can and was a great success! Many folks left with big smiles on their faces as is our best calling card at the Ranch.
Best drumming I have heard in a long time. It was so loud that at times I couldn’t hear the big drum under me. Fantastic dancers all weekend. Beautiful and expressive dance for sure. As is our tradition, the fire dancers also kicked it. This year was great. Next year is going to be fantastic!
Love you all.

It’s almost time!
There will be a volunteer work-weekend and “2nd saturday of the month” drum circle out on the land, to help tear down from last festival, and setup for Hawkfest.
Guests and ESA/ESP land crew are welcome to come out, help a little, and do a precursor jam together!
