Framed as a call back to craft and brotherhood, The Lebanon Mandate brings together craftsmen, outdoorsmen, business owners, fathers and sons, and leaders for a craft fair focused on men who value quality, tradition, and grit. It offers a curated, intentional setting rather than a noisy expo, with makers who build, hunt, forge, distill, cast, and create gathering under one roof where skill and character meet. The purpose is to celebrate craftsmanship, support local and regional enterprises, deepen brotherhood, pass hands-on know-how to the next generation, and strengthen men who in turn strengthen families and communities. It speaks to fathers arriving with sons, entrepreneurs and builders, outdoorsmen, golfers, cigar enthusiasts, and craftsmen, as well as anyone who prizes tradition and excellence. Vendors are selected with care, favoring businesses that produce quality goods, embody integrity, respect men’s culture, craftsmanship, and leadership, and serve Tennessee, especially the Lebanon community. More than a typical market, it aims to spark something larger in Lebanon by backing local enterprise while steadily shaping a stronger culture among men. All of it comes together in a single day and place with a clear mandate at its center.

At Mystical Heart Spiritual Center, Soulful Sister's Circle offers a sacred space grounded in radical sisterhood. The gathering honors each woman’s spirituality, personal history, and innate strengths. By embracing the changing rhythms of personality and the divine feminine, participants support one another in rising beyond limiting expectations. The focus is on releasing the old and welcoming a new cycle, weaving ancient wisdom with a renewed perspective to nurture collective healing and creative power. Attendees are asked to wear comfortable white clothing, with dresses or skirts preferred. White is chosen to symbolize purity and unity, to calm the mind, and to provide energetic protection. A white head covering such as a scarf, wrap, or turban is requested in recognition of the crown as a sacred and spiritually sensitive area. For floor seating, bring a plush pillow, yoga mat, or meditation cushion, and an optional light white blanket can offer warmth during seated or lying meditations. The cost is $15.

The experience is physically demanding. Participants should be ready to climb steep stairs without handrails, crawl through small spaces, and move through areas with low ceilings and narrow doorways, with high levels of dust. Wear sturdy shoes and expect to get dusty.
