Watch your friends fly on magic carpets, land on a mysterious planet, and speak a “foreign” language.  Don’t miss the opportunity to witness people right next to you fall asleep at the snap of a finger – and maybe even become hypnotized yourself.

Food, live jazz music, a silent auction, plus a great community of special people.

Proceeds from this event will support the Sanctuary 501(c)(3) organization, helping to finance the installation costs of a beautiful 8 KWH solar system which moves the Sanctuary forward in its mission to tread compassionately on the earth.

Connecticut’s last large unfragmented coastal forest, close to 1,000 acres, is threatened by a 226 unit private golf course development. Not only would wildlife be harmed, but our aquifer, streams, and well water will be threatened by pollution and our country roads clogged with an estimated 1,000 additional cars. Plus, it is estimated to cost the town of Old Saybrook $35 Million up front and $140 Million 30-40 years from now for infrastructure.
