#twerkhardslayhard

We know that it can be difficult to arrange transportation to and from IDA for events, so we have set up group ride shares for each of or upcoming summer events.  Please click the link for the event that you will be attending.  Make sure that you click the correct link so that there isn’t any confusion.  Hopefully this will help to streamline transportation for everyone! If you still have transportation needs, feel free to shoot us an email!

Idapalooza:

Hey y'all! On behalf of all of the organizers of this event, let me say how excited we all are to see all of your beautiful faces!  We’ve been working hard to prepare the land for your arrival and thought this might be a great time to help make sure everyone who arrives is as prepared as possible for this week of joyfully celebrating queer music, art, and most importantly, LOVE!  It has been a while since we made a post about what to bring (and not bring) to Ida events. We have made many changes over the last two years and are very excited to continue sustaining community for all of you 💕.  As we become more focused in our intentions and priorities to this land and community, we want to make sure to be more active in our communications with the community served by this space.  Be on the lookout for increased social media activity and updates surrounding upcoming and future projects and events!

Games or ideas of things to share in fun with (orbeez, trampolines, twister, gallons of canola oil, tarps, etc.)

Things to skillshare and conversation topics for the daytime, this a great opportunity to hive mind with your community! And share knowledge too ⭐️

REPARATIONS (dismantle that privilege henny)

🚫What NOT to bring:

Any and all pets (if you have a legitimate service animal we can make an exception)

Expectations to camp in your vehicle if not an accessibility need, if you have needs around accessibility please email

While we appreciate all of the furry, scaly, and feathered companions who enrich the lives of or community members, we are unfortunately not in a position to handle the added responsibility that comes with hosting pets.  There is currently a pack of resident dogs at IDA and they can be rather cliquey.  While they work very well with humans, it would be best to limit the number of additional pets on the land. 

That being said, exceptions will be made for those who have service animals.  If you would like to request a service animal accompany you to this event, email [email protected]

Hey y'all,

As many of you know, IDA has undergone some extreme changes in focus, intent, and prioritization in the last couple of years. As with any major transitional periods, there were plenty of growing pains and lessons learned. As the dust settles we are realizing what great opportunity lies before us to hold space and cultivate enrichment for the community. With the community support we have recieved and continue to recieve, we are finally seeing what great power and responsibility we have to this space. As we continue working toward holding sustainable sanctuary and intentional space for healing, we welcome whatever input and support you are willing to provide.

We are holding a work party to re-establish existing infrastucture, much of which was damaged in a flood this past November. Many of our structures are in dire need of renovation and repair and we are not currently staffed and resourced to meet tose needs on our own. If you have skills to lend or are willing to help in any way you can, please join us in working toward a new era at IDA!
