Lunacy: reEntry is a three day camping-event in southeast Texas dedicated to art, music, fire and radical self expression.
October 8-10, 2021 in Dayton, Texas. See Facebook event details
This unique event will look and feel smaller than unBroken Spring usually does each spring (about half the typical size). Due to the forced reschedule from the pandemic, there is a shorter timeline to put on this fall event, followed by ensuing preparations for uBS 2022.
Updates soon about tickets, art grants, timeline, Project Google Calendar, and volunteer department details.

June 2021: SAVE THE DATE FOR Fall 2021 Fundraiser Event
October 8th-10th at Liberty Manor! It will be time to decompress from the COVID pandemic. This unique event will look and feel smaller than unBroken Spring usually does each spring. Due to the forced reschedule from the pandemic, there is a shorter timeline to put on this fall event, followed by ensuing preparations for uBS 2022. Community input and volunteer participation will be instrumental in determining the number of attendees, i.e. tickets that can be released.
*unBroken Fall? unSpoken Break? will be a more focused event, bootstrapping as much as possible from the investments made in 2020. Please help spread the word and consider volunteering pre-event or on-site. More details will be announced in the next several weeks about tickets, volunteer sign up, art grants, etc.
* This event is not unBroken Spring and it needs a name!
