The 42nd Annual Sunray Native American Elders and Youth Gathering returns to Sunray Peace Village in Lincoln, Vermont, July 24–27, 2026. Centered on the theme Restorative Abundance, the gathering explores how we nurture relationships that are balanced, life-giving, and rooted in right relationship with Earth. Elders, youth, and wisdom keepers from many traditions will share teachings, ceremonies, workshops, music, and healing practices focused on reconciliation, responsibility, and community restoration. Hosted by Venerable Dhyani Ywahoo, the gathering welcomes all participants in person or on Zoom. Camping, food, and volunteer opportunities are available.
