FREEDOM EXPERIENCE GEORGIA 2023
November 10-12, 2023 @ Freedom Village Georgia - Sparta, GA
O nce a year the citizens of the Freedom Nation come together to celebrate what it means to live a black-owned life of self-governance and self-sustainability. Now in its fourth year, the Freedom Experience Georgia is being held at the Freedom Village Georgia for the first time.
To celebrate and commiserate this wonderful occasion the Freedom Village Georgia will be offering free classes in the areas of wood milling, brick making and basic self sustainable survival skills. The classes will be personally led by Chairman Hunter.
In addition we have invited several of the amazing manufacturing and natural producers in our black community to sell their wares at the freedom market, give lectures on self sustainability practices and to host several workshops on their specific skills and abilities.
This promises to be a beautiful family event as all of our freedom experiences have been. Where we feel the deep bonds of fellowship and love of community that makes us want to continue to work hard to build the freedom village.
ALL Are welcome and we look forward to seeing you and building the bonds of community.
