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.

The Path to Inner Freedom: Cultvating Gratitude and Forgiveness for Peace

Self-care isn’t just about treating ourselves well, but also about doing the hard work of being present with challenging feelings so we can move past them to align with the highest version of ourselves.

Cynthia Gomez of The Gaia Revolution will guide us through an impactful visualization exercise to free ourselves from anger, shame, and resentment towards ourselves and others, allowing ourselves to feel lighter and freer than ever. Weaving a cacao ceremony into the experience of gifting ourselves forgiveness, we'll release both that which no longer serves us and positive intentions into the universe by way of air and fire. Take time to write what you’d like to release, and watch that which is best surrendered be carried up in smoke during this very special burn.

​​Embracing a Sustainable Permaculture Lifestyle

Permaculture aims to achieve a sustainable balance between human beings and nature. But what does embracing a permaculture lifestyle mean, and why is it more important than ever? Being the change we wish to see in the world means being more intentional in how we move about in the world, perhaps especially when it comes to our food production, but knowing where to start can feel daunting. This workshop will provide you with concrete ideas to live more sustainably. After 20 years on Earth Rose Farm, 50 acres of pristine, reforested, self-sustaining permaculture farm, Maji Glowing Feather lives to teach humans and the world that our shared future is rooted in our agricultural past, brought into the present. Glowing in the knowing of the seeds he is sowing, Maji invites those interested in living a sustainable permaculture lifestyle to visit his farm to learn to live not off the land, but on the land, with the land, and for the land by lending a hand. Born in 1949, he has a master’s degree in human potential growth and development. He was middle school specialist teacher 28 years. He has also been a street performer.​
