The Outdoor Alchemy of Gathering

Set in the beautiful atmosphere of the Kitty Coleman Woodland Gardens, the Alchemy of Gathering will focus on gathering in community to share ideas on wellness, connection, identity, creativity, healing modalities, and more. Inspired by her book A Guide to the Collective Awakening: Advice, Tools & Art Projects, local author and artist Jenna Walker had the idea to bring this festival to life and it continues to grow.

Enjoy live music and sound healing performances by local musicians such as Luke Blu Guthrie and Anela Kahiamoe, The Awakeneers, Jesse Epp, Anand David, DJ Mr. Berg-E, and more. Take part in wellness workshops and learn about various techniques and modalities to improve healing on the emotional, physical and spiritual plane, such as releasing emotional pain through the creative process, connecting to the elements, advice on adrenal fatigue and burnout, micro-dosing for mental health, and more. There will also be a variety of interactive stations including access to various meditation techniques.
