A HELLO FROM YOUR HOST
Come curious.
Meet Nimwick.
Nimwick is here to welcome you to Altered States Alliance—a place for people who love creativity, alternative living, music, practical learning, and making genuine connections.
The Wild Circle is part of ASA. It's how we keep those conversations going online and bring people together for workshops, gatherings, and other community projects.
NOT JUST ANOTHER EVENTLess scrolling.
Less scrolling.
More living.
The Wild Circle is the ongoing, in-person heart of Altered States Alliance. A home for alternative living, art, self-discovery and real friendships — whether you're just curious or you've lived outside the usual lines for years.
Meet your people.
Come solo, bring a friend, trade stories, share food and find connections that last beyond a weekend.
Explore freely.
Experience a little wonder and a lot of creativity, without pressure to follow any particular path or belief.
TWO WAYS TO GATHERA little structure.
A little structure.
A lot of soul.
Workshops give us something new to discover. Social gatherings give us room to just be together. Both keep our community alive between the larger ASA festivals.
Workshop gathering
Get your hands into something.
Learn practical skills, make things, ask questions and stay to share a potluck. Guest facilitators and community members both bring knowledge to the circle.

Keep the connection.
A gathering is where we meet. The online Wild Circle is where the conversation carries on — share ideas, ask questions, discover makers, trade knowledge, and make plans for the next weekend together.

THE NEXT CHAPTER IS HAPPENING IN REAL LIFE
Good stories don't happen
on a screen.
From hands-on workshops to themed nights under the stars and the March festival weekend—there's always another reason to come together.
Planning calendar: dates, themes and ticket details may change until each event is officially announced.
GOOD TO KNOW
Your questions, answered.
Do I need to live an alternative lifestyle already?
Not at all. We welcome the curious just as much as experienced homesteaders, makers, artists, travelers and other unconventional folks.
Is The Wild Circle a religious or spiritual group?
No. We're primarily an alternative-lifestyle community. Nature, creativity and reflection may play a role, but rituals and spiritual elements are optional, and all beliefs are welcome.
Are the workshops or gatherings free?
Workshop ticket and membership arrangements are being finalized. Some offerings may require a ticket or materials fee. Check current details before making plans.
Can I help teach or organize?
Absolutely. We want both invited specialists and community members to share meaningful skills. Reach out through the Get Involved page.
Is this separate from Altered States Alliance?
No. The Wild Circle is part of ASA, alongside larger community festivals and other ASA projects.
THE CIRCLE IS OPEN
Your kind of different
might be right here.
Whether you're ready to attend, teach, help build, or just find out more — we'd love to hear from you.
