We will be having a Thanksgiving Potluck DInner on Thanksgiving Day. Nomads Unite will be cooking the turkey.

We have set up a sign up form on our website to insure we don’t have 14 green bean casseroles.

FAQ

Can I bring my pet?

Pets are allowed! All animals (dogs, cats, goats, etc.) must have current rabies vaccinations from a certified veterinarian. Chickens, rabbits, and caged animals must remain caged. Fish and herps are excluded.

Note: Normally AWA does not allow animals of any kind on the Sanctuary grounds. They are making a special exception for Nomads Unite considering many of us travel with our animals. ALL animals must be kept on a leash or within your site at all times. We will have a special dog walking area set up and poop must be collected and disposed of properly. ABSOLUTELY no animals will be allowed in the ritual area.

Are children allowed?

Absolutely. It is our future generations that ensure nomadic, bohemian and spiritual lifestyles to continue. We see children as the most important part of our community. There will be many workshops and activities just for children. Under 12 are free and 12-18 will be at a discounted rate.

What’s the weather like in Florida in November?

A lot better than New York or Michigan.

In Florida, average high temperatures in March range from mid 70°F to mid 80°F (24-29°C), and average lows are 55°F to 65°F (13-18°C). Rain is minimal, 5-6 days during the month and most of it falls in the earlier weeks.. Expect a lot of sunshine and partly cloudy skies, but be prepared for slightly windy days as well.

What are the amenities at AWA?

All World Acres has hot running showers, flush toilets and a dish washing area. AWA is on well water. As with most well water in Florida, we recommend bringing your own drinking water.

Is there a dump station at AWA?

No.

Can we fill up our water tanks upon arrival?

Yes, we will have a hose available to fill up with. Keep in mind that this is well water and not recommended for drinking. The well is rather hard water, use it at your own discretion.

Mosquitos. I hear there are mosquitos in Florida. How bad are they?

Generally speaking, they are not too bad during the cooler months. The cooler nights helps keep the numbers down but it is best to have some sort of protection. They only come out in the early evening for an hour or so.

Fire ants, how about fire ants?

Fire ants are everywhere in Florida. We hate them too. AWA is a sanctuary and therefore they do not use chemicals. They do treat the grounds with natural methods so as not to poison the land. If you do find a mound please do not dump chemicals on it. We have found what works best is corn meal sprinkled around the mound.

If you do get bit, make a slurry of baking soda and spread it on the bites. The alkaline in the baking soda takes down the sting.
