- 10:00AM [Danceshop Tent - Blue] - Ecstatic Tai Chi10:00AM- 11:15AMSpeakers: Devon Hornby
Tai chi is fundamentally an ecstatic practice. It effectively removes blockages to the flow of energy in the body. When the energy flow of our body is unimpeded we experience a profound, deep, and calm ecstasy that is the birthright of every human being.
By challenging our body to move in specific ways, tai chi gently moves us beyond our habitual body use into a state of freedom, inner strength, and joy. The practices taught at this workshop are simple and easy to remember so that participants will have the opportunity to continue and grow in this porfound practice long after the festival is over.

Butterfly Priestess will demonstrate to participants how to use tempo, texture, and expression with a single hank of rope to invite their partners into an expansive and reciprocal experience.

As humanity awakens and our collective level of consciousness advances, we have a powerful opportunity to ascend to a higher vibration...and stay there.

Also known as Meridian Tapping, EFT is a brilliant formula that can help us see our emotions clearly, accept them fully, and integrate them lovingly. If you ever feel anything less than joyful, worthy, and abundant, check out this workshop. You deserve to feel better, and EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) is a proven and effective medicine to take you there...and keep you there. If you've experienced blocks in your manifestation process, elevating your vibe through EFT could be the jolt you need to finally savor the fruition of your wildest dreams. Come see what's possible for you when you align your subconscious mind with your conscious desires. Amanda Wonderland is a Certified Clinical EFT Practitioner, a Somatic Therapies-Informed Yoga Instructor, a Worth & Wellness Coach, and a Transformation Facilitator. Her passion is helping people get out of their own way and step into their power, so they can finally live on purpose.

You, Beloved, are the powerful leader of your life.
Your experience begins with a short educational session followed by six beautiful activations for your body, mind and biofield.
