All Tied Up: Self Rope Bondage for Self Connection (ages 18+ only)
Friday Sept 27th
4 - 5 pm
Tea Tent
This non-sexual workshop is for those curious about or beginning their journey with rope bondage, or those with prior partnered rope experience who want to explore tying themselves.
Rope can be sadistic or comforting, can make you feel safe or vulnerable, it can be like a cozy rope hug or like a torturous challenge. It really is what you make of it! Self tying can be a powerful way to connect with yourself, feel grounded, and explore your creativity.
There will be a limited amount of rope available to borrow for the class, but it is HIGHLY encouraged that you bring your own rope and safety scissors/shears (more info below)!
We will cover:
- safety and learning about potential risks and how to mitigate them
- single column tie (non-collapsing knot on a part of the body)
- double column tie (non-collapsing knot connecting 2 body parts)
- frictions (what most of my ties consist of after I do a single column)
- If time allows, I’ll teach a specific pattern or harness based on the preferences of the class attendees
Bring with you:
- rope (nylon, POSH, jute, or hemp preferred, 2-6+ hanks of 15ft-30ft length)
- safety scissors/shears
- towel, yoga mat, blanket, or something to sit and/or lay on comfortably
- water
- snack if you think you’ll want it
- curiosity and an open mind

Relateful Gatherings & Fireside Chats
Saturday Sept 28th
11:15 pm - 1:15 am
Tea Tent
At Relateful Gatherings we explore the present moment in connection.
This includes our “authentic voice”, and parts of our experience that we might not often name, such as physical sensations, states, images, or emotions. For Example, one session the circle felt very cozy and connected. Someone shared, “I have an image of a fire that we are all gathered around”. Why do we invite these less common forms of expression? We often find that the more we are able to include and honor all parts of ourselves, the more whole our relationship with ourselves and others are.
Gatherings also include our relational patterns or habits that get in the way of us having a more honest and direct connection. The invitation is to bring awareness to the pattern, rather than get lost in it. For example, I may feel myself start checking out when the speed of someone else’s share is too fast for me to follow. One option is for me to share, “I want to follow you but I notice myself checking out when you talk faster than I can follow.”
With both including more parts of ourselves, and bringing awareness to What's in the way, there is no assumption that you should change. Rather, we invite you to bring awareness to what already is, and agency to how you want to show up. This may look like sharing, “I feel 95% offline right now, and really don’t want to go into my inner experience”. This may also look like, “It feels edgy for me to own my power, so I’m going to lean into stating what I want”. Boundaries are included in authenticity.
The Relateful Gathering will be structured as an open circle, where anyone can share at any time. We also may include an activity or exercise in the middle to highlight a specific aspect of relating that feels alive for us.
If you feel called to step into more authentic, and connected ways of being we would love to see you there.
Bio
Relateful Gathering explores the question: how do we step into more alive, mindful, and loving ways of being together?

Creative & Courageous collaboration workshop
Sunday Sept 29th
3 - 4 pm
Peace Tent
Have you ever felt like you're in constant competition with others, whether it's in personal relationships, volunteer opportunities, or the workplace? What if we could change that narrative to one of collaboration and support? That's where The Shine Theory comes in. Join me for an exciting presentation on how The Shine Theory can revolutionize the way we interact with others and lead to greater success for all.
As an experienced Learning & Development Professional and Leadership Coach, I've seen firsthand the power of collaboration and positive relationships. In this presentation, I'll explore The Shine Theory, a concept coined by Aminatou Sow and Ann Friedman that emphasizes the idea that when one person shines, it creates a ripple effect that inspires and uplifts others. This theory emphasizes that success is not a zero-sum game, and that a rising tide lifts all boats. I'll discuss how The Shine Theory can be applied in different settings, from personal relationships to the workplace, and share practical tips on how to identify your individual strengths and leverage them to support others. Attendees will leave this presentation feeling inspired, motivated, and equipped with the tools and knowledge to build meaningful connections and collaborate with others for greater success. So don't miss out on this unique opportunity to learn about a game-changing concept that can transform your life and relationships!

As we are becoming more and more aware of the consciousness of trees and our connection to them it is time to hear what the trees have to say. How do they feel about the world at large? Do they have ideas about how to live in harmony? Do they like dogs? Will they tell you a joke?
Come join Sandra as she takes a walk through the festival and relays the messages the trees wish to share, helping participants to connect with the trees and find a little balanced harmony with the world around them.
