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 is required. Come with an open mind and open heart!

Wisdom of the Upanishads
Saturday September 13, 2025 11:30am - 12:30pm EDT
Zen Den
Books are cool, and this book is no exception!  The vedanta scriptures open our eyes to a world that is beyond the physical senses, calling upon myths and legends of ancient yogis who were seeking immortality and the deepest secrets of life and consciousness.  ‘The Upanishads’ is a condensed form of the Vedas (hence the name ‘Vedanta’), and the precursor to ‘The Mahabharata’ (Great Tale Of Bharata [India]), a text where we find ‘Bhagavad Gita’ nestled comfortably in the epicenter of the divine vortex.  BG being a culmination of vedic wisdom about God and man’s search for happiness in a world that seems to be trying to kill him all the time.  But ‘The Upanishads’ came first for a reason, and it is that reason we will uncover in this workshop.  This is a rare opportunity to see these texts in an astonishing new way, and will provide countless gems and mysteries for you to meditate on in your personal practice.  
You’ll meet Agni, Vayu, Nachiketas and even Yamaraj; Death himself, in this mythical tome of yogic knowledge.  What question did Death refuse to answer to a young boy who gave his life as an act of faith?  Who or what is Brahman?  Why the chariot and the wheel?  Join us at Transcend to discover a whole new world of Yoga with “Wisdom Of The Upanishads”!!

Prepare to immerse yourself in the pulsating rhythms of the drum, which will guide our practice and serve as the heartbeat for our collective energy. Each beat will resonate deeply, echoing the call to awaken your inner warrior, urging you to confront the shadows that have held you back. Together, we will engage in a series of dynamic Kundalini postures, infusing our movements with intention and the fierce commitment to overcome the limitations we encounter.

This class is a profound ritual of self-exploration and release. As we move and breathe, we will honor the hard work it takes to confront and embrace our deepest fears and blockages. Together, we will emerge renewed, feeling lighter, more connected, and deeply attuned to the divine flow within us.

Meditative Mandalas Make-and-Take
Saturday September 13, 2025 1:30pm - 2:30pm EDT
The Portal
Color yourself calm with some gentle movement, guided meditation, and coloring your very own mandala. Mandalas are mystical symbols, typically circular and geometric in form, and represent wholeness or unified energy. They have played a role in Eastern spiritual development for centuries, and are widely favored as meditational focal points because of their balancing and calming effects. The practice of coloring mandalas is a way not only to focus your mind and calm down your awareness but also to open your heart. As kids, we were constantly doing things with our hands and colors. But as adults, most of us have stopped doing that. We've lost our creative outlet. Until now! Not only is coloring mandalas a fun and creative activity, but it has been shown to have therapeutic benefits such as reducing stress and anxiety, improving focus and concentration, and promoting relaxation. This workshop is open to people of all skill levels, even if you think you're not an artist! We'll begin with some gentle breathwork and movement (no need to bring a yoga mat--we'll do this in our seats), then I'll walk you through a guided visualization to awaken your creative energy. I'll teach you about the meaning of mandalas and the symbolism behind the colors you choose to use, and you'll get to color a beautiful mandala and tap into your inner artist. Workshop limited to 20 participants, FCFS.

This is your time to pause, breathe, and connect deeply with your inner self. Whether you're carrying the weight of past experiences or simply seeking a moment of peace, this session will guide you in finding the balance between releasing and receiving. All are welcome.

This experience includes meditation, transformative somatic breathwork, music, sound healing, and integrative journaling. To prepare please have water, a yoga mat, eye mask or eye covering, journal, & pen nearby.

Let's Breathe!

Energy Medicine Yoga - The 5 Elements
Saturday September 13, 2025 1:30pm - 2:30pm EDT
Mountain Top
Energy Medicine Yoga® is an integrative practice, uniting the ancient healing methods of energy medicine and the time-honored tradition of yoga. This magical union works to align and balance the body’s nine energy systems that form the foundation of our health. Classic yoga postures are interwoven with ancient traditional healing modalities including working with the meridian system, tapping, self-massage, holds to calm and regulate the body’s stress responses, and much more. These techniques are your gateway to communicating with the body in its own language, activating its natural healing intelligence. By focusing on your body as pure energy, you are empowered to transform and flow through life radiant and vibrant.

In this workshop, we will dive into 5 Element Theory. We will talk about the traits of each of the 5 elements, learn about how the elements affect your everyday life, and find out how to determine your personal elemental make-up. The workshop will conclude with a flow designed to balance the elements.
Come discover your elements!

Joy in Motion : Yoga Nia (neuromuscular intermittent action)
Saturday September 13, 2025 1:30pm - 2:30pm EDT
Ascension
Nia (Neuro-muscular Integrative Action) is a holistic movement practice that works with elements from martial arts, dance, and relaxation techniques and brings together body, mind, and soul. In class, you are encouraged to listen to your inner voice, to be guided by the ‘pleasure principle’, and so to perform the moves in such a way that they are healing and do your body good

Nia is fun and at the same time, develops physical fitness: strength, stamina, and a feeling of lightness. The switching between fixed choreography and free dance will stimulate your creativity and potential vitality, health, and zest for life are long-lasting side effects. The dance steps will increase your coordination, natural intelligence, and mental fitness.

Nia strengthens your connection to your own body; you will become aware of your own beauty and strength. Nia is a dance of body, mind and soul – a dance experience that transforms your life. An hour of Nia will burn calories without you even realizing that you’re in the middle of a demanding workout Nia is suitable for everyone: whether you’re fit or unfit, old or young – everyone is welcome.

Nia will give you energy but also increase your capacity to stay calm and relaxed when facing the stresses of everyday life
To make this opportunity even more unique, we utilize silent, disco headphones, which allow you to have a really personal in-body experience. We will all follow the same guided playlist that has been curated to inspire play movement and deep somatic healing.

Join Kate for Flow and Let Go! We all sometimes feel stuck and weighed down by things in our lives. We hold onto that energy even when long after we need to. This class is designed to get rid of our unwanted energies. Class starts with flow-style movement, warming up the body, and then takes us through some deeper, longer holds, allowing the body then to release what we no longer need. Rooted in the style of vinyasa yoga, linking breath and movement, this class is suitable for all levels. Students can expect the first half of class to be more movement and then the second half of class to be slower.
Kate teaches with a focus on tuning into your own body, both physical and emotional, learning to listen to what you truly need. Her laid-back and authentic approach to teaching creates an inspiring, uplifting, and fun environment.

At the heart of freeform movement lies the power to release inhibitions, let go of stress, and connect deeply with yourself and others. Join the festival community for a cathartic experience that embraces all emotions – from pure joy to quiet contemplation. It is in this space that we tap into our inner strength, resilience, and creativity, fostering a sense of belonging and unity within ourselves and community. Your facilitator, Lauren, will lead you through an opening meditation to center and connect to the breath, body, and spirit. This practice morphs into the beginning of movement and stretching and eventually releases into freedom to move as you do and experience yourself.

Ghost Pipe is the spirit-channeled experience of holistic psychotherapist and graduate professor of psychology and counseling ConnorWills. Ghost Pipe is meant to be more of a sound healing than a DJ set. Folks in attendance can expect to hear sampled vocal wisdom from Indigenous leaders around the world, experts in trauma healing, and other reminders about self-love woven in over each track. Ghost Pipe sets tend to lean toward organic tribal beats from West Africa and South America with dubby drops peppered in, but are always 100% unplanned and improvised moment by moment based on the energy of those in attendance. Come experience music as a modality for healing!

Ecstatic Dance is an inclusive, drug and alcohol-free space where authenticity is cherished. Within this realm, we allow for the music to be the gateway to authentic expression and as an invitation to explore your body’s innate wisdom.

Burn a fire in your center to illuminate your heart
Sunday September 14, 2025 8:30am - 9:30am EDT

In this class, Kellie will facilitate breath awareness and control to calm anxiety, remember who they are, and move the energy into a higher self. The physical practice is slow and steady, with some holding of poses to develop a strong mind.  Kellie is extremely keen on cueing detailed alignment to hold the pose with some ease. You will be reminded to tune in to your pain points and rest to find a balance between effort and ease! When the alignment of the pose is precise, holding can be uplifting. We will tap into the Solar plexus to burn a radiant fire and bring it to the heart. We gather the energy from the heart, bring it to the throat, and make some sounds. Humming, buzzing, ommmimg. With that vibration, we go into stillness and seek what it is their practice brought up and pick a word to take with them off the mat.

Lila – The Cosmic Dance of Life
Sunday September 14, 2025 10:00am - 11:00am EDT
The Portal
Why does life unfold as it does—full of challenges, joys, and contradictions? The concept of the Lila offers an answer: life is a divine play, a sacred act where duality—light and shadow, pleasure and pain—comes together to teach us, to awaken us.

In this lecture-based workshop, we’ll explore the tantric perspective on Lila, moving beyond surface-level understanding to examine why we choose this earthly experience and what we stand to gain from it. Through the lens of tantra, duality is not an obstacle but an experience that can bring us toward self-realization and self-liberation.

You’ll leave this workshop with a new way of looking at your life—seeing the interconnectedness of all events, the lessons within contrast, and how embracing the Lila can bring clarity, joy, and balance to your journey. This is more than philosophy; it’s a way of living in peace with the world’s inherent ebbs and flows.

Ayurveda, the Science of Life, is an ancient healing system originating in India designed to help you understand any imbalances in your health and how to treat them holistically. Somatic Healing helps move stuck trauma in the body so you can feel more freedom in your body and life.

The Yamas & Niyamas are 10 ethical guidelines for living skillfully, and their wisdom reaches far beyond the practice of Yoga. Not only does each principle give us guidance on how to interact with others, but they also show us how to "keep our side of the street clean", as the rooms of 12-step recovery programs say.

Many of us, whether we are years into sobriety or are just becoming "sober-curious", have been looking for new precepts to lead our recovery; a system that resonates with us on a deeper level than traditional programs can. No matter where you are on your journey, the Yamas and Niyamas can provide direction and inspiration for sobriety that will lead to inevitable self-discovery, growth, and liberation.

Join us for a supportive, expansive, and informative group discussion with Anne St. Hilaire - counselor, yoga teacher, recovery enthusiast, and founder of Awakened Connection, LLC - as we dive into Yoga's ethical principles and explore their application to the path of individualized sobriety. We'll laugh, learn, and connect with each other in integrity and reflection. Namaste!

Resonance: A Voyage of Sensuous Aliveness
Sunday September 14, 2025 1:30pm - 2:30pm EDT
Pond
We are nature: earth, fluid, sound, pulse, breath. And through Resonance, we return to that truth. This isn’t yoga. It’s not ecstatic dance. It’s a reclamation—a spiraling descent into the body, where untamed presence meets primal movement and fluid intelligence. This is unscripted discovery, where we shed performance and expectation, and instead, soften into the infinite hum of the cosmos woven into our flesh.

Through primal dance, sound, breath, and somatic tending, you’ll be guided into a sensuous conversation with your body and the living web it’s connected to. We’ll explore the edges of your skin, the weight of your cells, the fluid motility of your connective tissue, and the endless creative potential unlocked by radical presence.

This practice is for untangling knots, lubricating stagnant tissue, and re-enlivening your sensuous experience of the world. It’s for unraveling trauma patterns stored in the body and expanding your capacity to be here now—deeply.
You might touch the delight of corporeal reality without shame, feel the intoxicating freedom of mobility and motility, and hear your own breath as a song of reclamation.

What to Expect:

Techniques:
Curl, slither, spiral, shake. Skin-edge sensing. Embryological nurturance. Sound healing. Breath journeys. Energy medicine.

Premise:
Soften the inhibitors so your body’s innate intelligence can guide the way. Reclaim the felt-sense of being alive.

What It’s For:
• Releasing trauma stored in the body.
• Expanding creative capacity through somatic self-location.
• Lubricating tight, dry, immobilized tissue into supple vitality.
• Reconnecting with the web of life to amplify presence and resonance.

Who It’s For:
• Practitioners seeking to deepen their work and fill in the gaps.
• Creatives yearning to find space for inspiration.
• Bodies that feel trapped in rigidity or disconnected from sensation.
• Anyone who desires a practice that isn’t confined by rigid beliefs or rules.

This is a return to your aliveness, a portal into the primal intelligence of your body. It’s not about escaping your reality—it’s about expanding it. Resonance is for those ready to feel, move, and live in ways that ripple into everything they touch.
Come dance with your breath, spiral into your song, and root into the rhythm of the world.

Getting to Know Your Nervous System
Sunday September 14, 2025 3:00pm - 4:00pm EDT
Mountain Top
Join Hilary Rudenauer for an educational and experiential workshop that will help you understand the states of your nervous system and how to work with them. To begin, Hilary will offer a lecture on the nervous system, polyvagal theory, and the stress response cycle to help you reshape your understanding of this system. Following the lecture participants will be led through a guided experience to help them identify how each state manifests within their mind and body. Finally, Hilary will introduce a few easy practices that can be used to bring upregulation or downregulation, as needed. Participants can expect to leave with a greater understanding of their own nervous systems, as well as tools they can practice on their own to support continued regulation.

Rise into Your Role in the Great Awakening
Sunday September 14, 2025 3:00pm - 4:00pm EDT
Pond
Based on my transformational spiritual coaching to awaken the priestesses of the modern world, this workshop is an experiential mix of ritual (meditation, movement, breathwork), lecture, journaling, transmission, circle-based discussion, Q&A, and coaching for women who feel curious or called to step into their soul purpose.

We will explore what is The Great Awakening, why each one of us is needed in this movement and evolution of consciousness, how spirituality will heal our world, and why it's necessary to first create this new culture within ourselves and our lives so that we may do our work that ripples out to the world. We will also discuss what it means to embody our souls fully, let our ego serve our souls, and the path of empowered surrender as the greatest way to co-create our paths with Source.

Meditation will allow for communion and guidance for clarity around participants' purpose, soul embodiment, and what's blocking them. We will also workshop various aspects of "starting where you are," including the power of your personal journey in the purpose you serve. Participants will have the opportunity to be coached in the group to heal and integrate the blocks currently holding them back. The workshop will conclude with a tantric embodied breathwork activation ritual to align participants' nervous systems to their next-level embodiment of their soul purpose.

Your Mind on Nootropic Mushrooms: Ancient wisdom meets exciting new research
Sunday September 14, 2025 3:00pm - 4:00pm EDT
Zen Den
Explore the undeniable nootropic and psychedelic mushroom movement and dive deep into the many mechanisms medicinal mushrooms employ to optimize brain vitality. We will outline the traditional uses, constituents we care about and plough through new research on fungi brain allies such as lion's mane, reishi, cordyceps, psilocybe, maitake, wood ear, and poria.

Medicinal mushrooms can restore balance via impacting the immune system, lipid ratios, blood sugar, hormones, neurotransmitters, and oxidative damage. They have the power to revitalize neural pathways, fatigued tissues, and entire ecosystems. And unlike any other, they have the capacity to reconnect us to the planet, humanity, and ourselves.
