Open Circle Events Colorado

Vendor-First Markets. Intentionally Built.

Open Circle Events is a privately owned and operated event company co-owned by:

Carol Smith (Green Magick Apothecary)
Jazmine Ramirez (Panther’s Gate Lil Witch)

We produce curated vendor markets and seasonal gatherings designed to prioritize vendor sustainability, transparent communication, and community-centered impact.

Open Circle is a professional event company — not a religious organization, spiritual authority, or belief-based membership group.

While some events may incorporate seasonal themes, creative expression, or culturally inspired celebration, participation in Open Circle events does not require ideological alignment, spiritual affiliation, or loyalty commitments.

Our work is operational, structured, and business-focused.

Why Open Circle Exists

Open Circle was born from direct experience.

As vendors ourselves, we navigated markets that were often disorganized, expensive, unclear, or misaligned with the communities they claimed to serve.

We saw a need for something better.

Open Circle began with Hex & Harvest Market — an event built with clear communication, ethical vendor practices, and intentional structure from the start.

What we discovered was simple:

When events are created with vendors — not at them — everyone benefits.

Open Circle exists to carry that approach forward with clarity and professionalism.

What We Do

Open Circle Events:

• Produces curated vendor markets and seasonal festivals
• Maintains transparent vendor fee structures
• Communicates expectations clearly in advance
• Integrates community give-back partnerships intentionally
• Operates with professional standards and accountability

Our events are designed to feel welcoming, organized, and worth participating in.

Ownership & Operational Structure

Open Circle Events is owned and operated by Carol Smith and Jazmine Ramirez.

We collaborate with venues, sponsors, and community partners. These partnerships support our events but do not constitute shared ownership or governance.

Final decision-making authority regarding event operations, vendor selection, partnerships, and policy enforcement rests with ownership.
