If you want to be certain that you'll be fed breakfast and dinner all weekend, please order a meal plan by May 17.

    Meal Plans are purchased separately for this year, and are provided by The Blissful Bite. Purchasers of this year's meal plans will be served an organic, healthy, and delicious breakfast and dinner daily, and can be ordered from The Blissful Bite website.

Lunch is offered separately from the meal plan, and the lunch menu offers a scrumptious a la carte soup, salad and sandwich bar.

    A Community Dinner will be provided prior to Opening Night Ritual on Thursday at 5:00 p.m. Love offerings to cover the cost of the dinner will be gratefully accepted. Dinner is provided by The Blissful Bite, this year's HPF Meals Provider. The menu for Thursday Night's Communal Dinner will be: sprouted brown rice cooked in rich vegetable stock, saucy baked beans, and steamed spring vegetables with a lemon-herb vinaigrette.

    HSA is a proud sponsor of The Witches' Voice

    Founded in 1987 and incorporated in 1988 as a Missouri General Not For Profit Corporation, the Heartland Spiritual Alliance is perpetually working for the community through a variety of educational programs and activities consistent with our Mission Statement. Besides hosting the Heartland Pagan Festival, we also have a monthly networking and educational group called The Spirit Circle which meets on the third Thursday of every month at Aquarius-Vulcans Forge in Kansas City, MO. Managed by our Sacred Experience Committee, this gathering has free workshops on a variety of topics of Pagan interest. Yearly, HSA sponsors such activities as Pagan Pride Day, the Crystal Ball - A Pagan Formal Dance, and the Witches' Ball. HSA also publishes a free informational newsletter called The Heartland Spirit.

    HSA meets the second Sunday of each month from 2-5 p.m at Aquarius-Vulcans Forge, 3936 Broadway, Kansas City, MO. All meetings are open to the public and membership is open to anyone 18 years of age or older. Annual membership requirements include a $20 fee and 20 hours of HSA volunteer time usually spent at festival. NOTE: Beginning February 1st, the membership fee increases incrementally by $ 10 per month, on the 1st day of each month, until May 1st. No new members are added after May 1st.

    Mission Statement 


    Heartland Spiritual Alliance is an organization, which is dedicated to promoting the appreciation and acceptance of a variety of alternative religions and philosophies. HSA encourages participation in educational programs and activities; most of which deal with the various nature oriented or nature connected religions of the world, the similarities within all religions and the respectful free exchange of spiritual beliefs. We strive to maintain a well organized, dynamic and smooth running organization within an atmosphere, which allows people of all religious traditions to coexist peacefully. One of our goals is to consistently host a Festival, which promotes personal and spiritual growth and leaves a living legacy for the next generation.

    Message from Your Trash Pirates - 


    Ahoy Maties! The Trash Pirates will be collecting aluminum, plastic, and glass during festival. For safety reasons, we collect glass separately. Please be courteous to our Trash Pirates and place only proper items in the recycling barrels!

    We collect trash twice daily so when you hear us coming be sure to bring out your trash and recycling to reduce the mounds of trash we’ll be wading through at the end of festival. Trashy wenches also accepted!

    To help reduce trash on site, remove all packaging at home and think of ways to reduce consumption. An easy one is to try bringing a large cooler of water instead of bottled waters.

    We would also encourage all guests to pick up scattered MOOP (Matter Out Of Place). Though it is the Trash Pirates responsibility to pick up trash and recycling during festival, it is everyone’s responsibility to help keep our land clean.

    We will again be collecting all gently used camping items (resalable items only please!) that would normally be thrown away and donating them to a local non-profit that helps homeless youth! The Kansas City Kansas Homeless Liaison has agreed to accept all our gently used camping items. They are responsible for helping homeless children stay in school. They work with families that are living on the streets, in their cars, with neighbors, etc. and our camping items could really make a difference. We will have a donation drop off at the Recycle Port next to Memorial Grove.

    Remember to Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, and ‘Leave No Trace’!



    We look forward to seeing everyone there!

    Ur Trash Cap’n..
