With its newest event, the Montague Retreat Center hopes to offer “a weekend art and cultural immersion with nature as our muse.”

The experience, called “Maple and Hemlock” but previously known as “Sacred World Interdependence Day,” will include a multitude of musical performances, locally produced food and plenty of exploration of the center’s 34-acre property from July 11 to July 13. The full weekend experience costs $250, though there are other tiers and day passes available.

Jason Cohen, director of the Montague Retreat Center, is the event’s primary organizer. Over the course of six years, Cohen grew Sacred World Interdependence Day, which was originally intended to be an alternative to Fourth of July celebrations, into the Unifier Festival, a large music festival held in Tolland.

“After doing that project for years in Unifier, the idea was to have something bigger and then shrink it back down afterward,” Cohen said. “So we shrunk it back down.”

The new Maple and Hemlock event will be focused on three parts of the center’s land. The festivities will begin Friday evening at the Ceremony Circle, where participants will have a “supper-club style” five-course meal provided by Wheelhouse Catering. Charlotte Malin Collins and Sarah Briggs, viola and violin instructors at Amherst College, respectively, will provide music during the dinner.

Saturday’s events will be focused on the Great Hall, with headliners Lady Moon and the Eclipse, a neo-soul group based out of New York City. The group’s performance at Maple and Hemlock is the second-to-last on its latest tour, which happens to coincide with the production of the group’s sophomore album. The audience will get a sneak preview of songs from that album.

“It’s just so exciting,” said Ngonda Badila, founder and lead singer of Lady Moon and the Eclipse. “We’re going to be able to give everyone a little taste of what’s coming.”

Malin Collins will be opening for Lady Moon and the Eclipse on Saturday by performing an original set of folk music as she gears up for a new album release in September.

“I’m super excited to just experience what the space is like,” Malin Collins said, “with different events happening in different parts of the land, and the land also being much more part of the gathering, rather than just sort of the venue.”

Saturday’s lineup of events also includes a musical performance by Althea Music, yoga and dance classes, and an outdoor fire circle led by Cohen.

The center’s hemlock grove is the focus on Sunday. Malin Collins will be hosting an interactive music circle, and Cohen’s band Incus will be performing as well.

“It’s an incredible spot with old hemlocks, with the sound of the brook right below,” Cohen said.

Sunday will feature a performance by musician TreeJay and will conclude with a hot coal walk facilitated by GLOW Firewalking. Meals on both Saturday and Sunday will be catered by Hillside Organic Catering.

Malin Collins is most looking forward to the weekend’s community aspects.

“I’m so grateful to be part of something that’s not just like something that you buy a ticket and come,” she said, “but that you might meet folks that are your neighbors, that you’ve never met, and form connections that root into something deeper and just make people feel really a part of the land here and the community.”
