EXPERIENCE

It's a sacred container for doing deep, inner healing work while surrounded by beauty and combining conscious connection with commUnity and pure, joyful fun. This carefully curated experience won't just heal your inner child; it'll also invite them to come out to play. We are still adding to our offerings, so check back soon for more. We'll also add days and times here as we finalize our schedule.
WORKSHOPS & ACTIVITIES
KNOW THYSELF
Kriya+Pranayama+Meditation
After moving the body, awakening the cells in the body, it’s important to still the mind, and meet it where it's at. In this session, Mark Levitt will guide us in doing a sequence of carefully crafted internal cleansing and breathing techniques that lead us to the correct mind fields, allowing us to open specific mental and energy doors.
Drawing the Future: A Divination & Sigil Workshop
In Drawing the Future, you’ll explore the connection between divination and sigil craft. We’ll begin by tuning into divinatory practices to uncover personal guidance, then transform those revelations into sigils — visual tools designed to focus and amplify your intentions. Whether you’re new to magical art or refining your practice, you’ll leave with practical techniques and a custom-made symbol of your own future.
Activating Your 12-Strand DNA
Join Aura Ortiz for this workshop, during which she will be guiding participants through meditations and techniques to unlock higher levels of consciousness, creativity, and spiritual growth through recognition of our multidimensionality, including that of our DNA.
Embracing Your Inner Child: Let's Play!
In this workshop with Deanna Liebman, there will be a walk-through meditation, playtime, and a judgment-free zone. We welcome inner children of all ages (leave your adult self at the door). If you have a stuffy, favorite blankly, a favorite comfort snack, or anything that connects you to your inner child, please bring that. Sticker trading is optional at the end of the workshop. The goal of this workshop is to have a live interactive playground to connect to ourselves and others on a deeper level.

Clarity becomes its own kind of mysticism—a quiet joy found in seeing life as it really is.
Deeper Self Awareness through Journaling
Bring your journal and a writing instrument to a workshop around integrating journaling into your self development routine. Learn some tips on how to build and maintain the habit, share ideas on prompts, pick up some ideas on how to make it truly your own, and most importantly, discuss how journaling opens doors within yourself. Knowing ourselves is a foundation for self development and growth, allowing us to heal our wounds and show up authentically rather than letting subconscious patterns take the lead.

Following a panel discussion, we'll break and return to a conscious biz laid-back networking hour. Find allies, collaborators, and supporters among your Lotus tribe!
Dreamweaving Circle: Co-Creating a Collective Dream
Dreamweaving is a facilitated, circle-based experience that explores how individual dream and imaginal images speak not only to personal insight, but to the collective field we share. This workshop invites participants to listen for what is emerging from the collective unconscious through shared imagery. Participants are invited to share a brief dream image, fragment, or active imagination image. Rather than full dream stories, a single image or feeling is offered into the circle. As the process unfolds, a spontaneous “popcorn” style of sharing allows participants to voice resonances, connections, and reflections as they naturally arise. Through this co-creative weaving, images begin to form a larger, collective dream. This workshop is ideal for those curious about collective consciousness, symbolic language, and the deeper threads that connect us.
LOVE THYSELF
Making & Holding Space for Transformation
What does it mean to hold space? How do you hold space effectively for both yourselves and others, and what is the impact of doing that?

The Way Through: Rage/Anger Flush
We can’t rewrite our story or create a new story until we can own the events and circumstances of our life. Let’s gather the hurts, pains, and betrayals that have been invading our lives, and own and release them once and for all. Love, forgiveness, and gratitude are the healing salve of this process. This workshop by Scott Donat begins with a guided meditation to gather the rage, anger, hurt, shame, ect., that is stored in our bodies. We'll move those through those feelings through drumming and self-expression. We'll follow that with a four-corners love expression exercise based on the Hawaiian prayer of Hoʻoponopono, which translates loosely into "I am sorry. Please forgive me. Thank you. I love you." There will be some time at the end for debriefing and processing.
Harm Reduction as Self-Love
Harm reduction encompasses a range of practices designed to reduce the negative impacts associated with many of the behaviors that are common at festivals and other gatherings. But harm reduction is about more about than staying safe; it’s also about recognizing the opportunity to practice self-love and make conscious, educated choices about what you put in your body and how you choose to show up in the world. DJ Dharmadrum will lead this chat on how to elevate and connect, to be fully present in the moments that fuel you.
Non-Sexual Intimacy: A Mirror Work Workshop
In this mirror work workshop, we'll learn to separate what we see from what we think from what we feel. We'll first bring awareness to how we see ourselves and others. Next, we'll learn and experience allowing ourselves to be seen. Then, we'll step into simple intimacy and experience each other in non-sexual connection. Finally, there will be time to share about the experience and how it brings a deeper understanding of the self and others. Facilitator Scott Donat , otherwise known as The FootGuy, is a reflexology practitioner who is passionate about leading people to discover and learn the story that their bodies and subconscious are trying to tell. He leads retreats on The Way Through, a powerful modality for processing stored emotions and releasing trauma.
