A hands-on community ritual rooted in care, creativity, and connection. Participants mold or glaze ceramic worry stones, infusing with intention, then receive a finished stone made by someone at a previous gathering, a reminder that support travels and is created in community.
At the festival, participants are invited to wrap stones with messages of care and hide them around the grounds for others to find, creating small moments of surprise, grounding, and magic woven throughout the weekend. Come play, make, and pass it on.

Come experience the Ancient Language of Runes and explore their wisdom as both symbol and guide. In this interactive offering, participants will learn the foundational meanings of Runes, learn to cast them, and listen intuitively to what they reveal. An ink-and-paper sigil creation offers a powerful way to work with and bring home this Runic wisdom. Through intentional, grounded practice, Runes become tools for insight, grounding, and personal decision-making. No prior knowledge of Runes is necessary—only curiosity and a willingness to listen to what is etched within.

Join Kate for a Visualization and Journaling Experience that will help reflect and align you with your higher calling. Do you ever ask yourself if this is really what you want in life? If where you are and what you are doing is really for you? Come take some time to visualize and write down your dreams and thoughts and start to realize what it is that truly calls to you.
This experience will begin with some grounding, centering breath work, followed by small movements to help us tune in to our “internal” world. You’ll then be guided through a series of visualizations that ask you to examine yourself, your life and dream about all the potential there is.
You’ll come away having a clearer vision of what it is you’re seeking and some actionable items to help you on the path to get there. 
No experience required, just come with an open mind and open heart!
Journals and Small Gift Included.

Perceive the world before we put words to it.
In this workshop, participants are guided through a series of sensory experiences that invite listening beyond thought. Short pieces of music, simple tastes, and gentle movement become moments of attention that is felt first in the body, then allowed to take form through color, line, and shape.
Rather than trying to create an image, participants respond. Sound moves the hand. Taste becomes texture. Feeling becomes motion. The page becomes a place where experience is translated as it’s happening, not after it’s been explained or analyzed.
Breath supports the process throughout, helping participants stay present as energy shifts across the senses. Over time, patterns begin to emerge, showing each person how they naturally receive and interpret the world around them.
Sensing in Color is playful, surprising, and quietly revealing. It offers a direct experience of intuition at work and a glimpse into how identity is shaped by what we notice, trust, and allow to move through us.
No art experience is needed. Only curiosity and a willingness to listen with the senses.

In this introductory Human Design workshop, Kerry Lynn Martin guides you through the energetic map you were born with your personal instruction manual for decision-making, relationships, energy, and self-trust.
You’ll discover why certain environments drain you, why some relationships feel effortless while others exhaust you, and why trying harder has never worked.
This isn’t about becoming someone new.
It’s about releasing the pressure to be who you were never meant to be.

This introductory session explores how unresolved generational trauma is stored in the body and how somatic practices, mindfulness, and energetic awareness can begin to release these inherited patterns.

Immerse yourself in a deeply restorative sound healing journey designed to quiet the busy mind and reconnect you with inner stillness. This transformative program weaves the resonant tones of gongs with the gentle harmonies of singing bowls to create a powerful, meditative soundscape.

As the vibrations wash over you, the mind begins to soften, releasing mental chatter and easing stress. Each tone helps guide your nervous system out of overactivity and into a state of deep calm, encouraging the body’s natural ability to rest, restore, and heal. The rich frequencies of the gong support inner release and energetic clearing, while the soothing bowl tones promote balance, clarity, and emotional harmony.

Whether you’re seeking relief from stress, a deeper meditative experience, or simply a moment of peace, this sound healing program offers a sanctuary for renewal. Allow the vibrations to carry you into profound relaxation—where clarity returns, the heart opens, and stillness becomes your teacher.

Following the soothing resonance of sound healing, this experience invites you to explore process art with watercolor and ink pens—an intuitive, meditative practice that encourages presence, play, and emotional release.

In this gentle creative session, there is no pressure to produce a perfect piece—only to let color, line, and movement guide you. As watercolor pigments flow across the page, they encourage spaciousness and acceptance, reminding us to soften our grip and allow what wants to emerge. The simple act of watching color blend and transform helps shift the mind out of overthinking and into a rhythm of observation and curiosity.

Ink pens offer grounding structure, inviting you to trace patterns, shapes, or marks that reflect your inner landscape. Each stroke becomes a breath—steadying the nervous system and offering a quiet pathway back to the present moment. The combination of fluid watercolor and intentional ink creates an expressive balance, supporting both emotional release and mindful focus.
This process art journey cultivates relaxation, clarity, and self-awareness. It’s a playful yet profound way to quiet mental noise, connect with your creative spirit, and discover peace through the beauty of imperfection and flow.

Pharmakeia is the practice of plant spirit magic. It can be a powerful tool to help us develop our spiritual practice by removing the illusion of separation between our worlds and help us recognize the duality within ourselves. In this workshop we will meet some of our plant allies through meditation, talk about how we can incorporate into our practice and perform the Khernips ritual to dedicate ourselves to the path.
