Tending the Tender Village
This workshop offers an opportunity for everyone in the community to come together and explore ways to discover and express their voices. It will include a song circle and meditation, providing a space to slow down and connect with one another.
We will rethink how to share our stories, poems, chants, griet, and dreams. Participants will learn what it takes to discover their messages and be heard. We will facilitate songs, stories, and simple grounding practices that support your voice and expression.

Sensual Space Orientation
The Sensual Space is an open space to explore consensual sensuality and sexuality in community with others. That might include spending time with one or more friends in an intimate way, or watching others from a distance. It is a place for structured exploration of erotic, trance, and other healing and ecstatic experiences that may or may not also be explicitly sexual. I will go over a variety of tips, navigational tools, and guidelines to navigate and share this space in a fun, mindful, and respectful way. If you haven’t attended this orientation before, it is required that you attend it before entering the Sensual Space.
Workshops with Hema
Heart Connection Ritual
The Heart Connection Ritual is a guided neo-Tantric puja designed to open pathways of presence, intimacy and authentic connection. Drawing from modern conscious relating practices and ancient tantric roots, this ritual creates a sacred container where participants can meet each other from the heart rather than the mind. Through a series of simple, intentional exercises you’ll be invited to:
Awaken the senses with breath, gaze and touch (non-sexual, consensual and always optional)
Share presence through structured dyads and heart centered meditations
Honor the sacred in each other by offering gestures of reverence, compassion and gratitude
Cultivate Connection beyond words, using energy awareness, synchronized breath and embodied listening
The ritual is both playful and profound. You may find yourself laughing, crying or simply sitting in the quiet joy of being seen. Each moment is an opportunity to practice slowing down, feeling more and remembering that every human heart carries its own wisdom and beauty. No previous experience with Tantra is necessary, All practices are guided, clothing stays on and boundaries are honored at every step. The intention is not erotic encounter, but rather to re-weave the threads of belonging, love and reverence in the community. By the end of the ritual, many participants report feeling more alive, grounded and deeply connected – to themselves, to others and to the mystery that flows through us all.

Workshops with Indigo
Honing Your Inner Compass In Connection
The desire to connect is part of being human. And it's all too easy to sacrifice ourselves in service of that connection. How can we preserve what's sacred within us, while opening to the magic of authentic, mutually desired connection? The answer lies within you: your inner compass knows the way.
In this dynamic, experiential workshop, you get the chance to play games, develop skills, and explore ideas to help connect with your inner compass-- your inner sense of what's truly aligned, and what's not. To hone that inner knowing, and to practice speaking it to others with courage and clarity. You can expect to leave this workshop with a better understanding of your internal world, and sharper tools you can use to artfully craft your experience at camp. And to co-create deeper, safer, more wonderful connections in all aspects of your life.
Relationship Tending
When the need arises to give difficult feedback or address something that’s getting in the way of getting close to another person, many times we still let it go, not wanting to ruin a happy moment or create a rift. But in reality, we’re keeping ourselves from intimacy when we could have it.
When we’re willing to tell another person what’s keeping us from getting closer, we actually get closer. In these “Relationship Tending” spaces, we’ll have a chance to share difficult truths, intimate appreciations, and vulnerable parts or ourselves. Let’s get beyond this kind of sharing being an extraordinary experience, to where it’s an ordinary everyday thing. Every day we deepen our connections. Consider the possibility that we have no idea who our closest friends could be once we start sharing at this level. We have no idea what could happen when we really give our relationships our deepest attention.
Workshops with DJ KyuTheMusiQ
Transmuting Through Sound
In this workshop, KyuTheMusiQ offers a guided musical experience designed to help participants move through emotion and energy. Drawing on deep bass and textured rhythms, we transmute energy through music and movement—starting in the shadows and rising toward release and clarity. This is a space to dance, feel, and reconnect with yourself through music.
Workshops with Moss Quante
Building Kinship with the Land
Humans evolved as part of the ecosystems that surround us, in constant relationship with the land, water, air, daily and seasonal rhythms, and multitudes of other beings. For many of us today, colonization and industrialization have severed our ties to our non-human family, leaving us lonely, numb, and primed to mistreat the Earth that gives us life. In this space, we will greet and honor the land as an integral part of our camp community, then practice a way to attune to the natural world and invite reconnection. This is a practice you can return to whenever you're in need of grounding and kinship at camp, as well as in the rest of life.
Releasing Our Masks
We have all developed masks we wear to navigate an unjust society. These are ways we learn to hide our authentic selves to keep ourselves safe, to fit in with our surroundings, or to receive what we need from systems that do not serve us. Who are you beneath the masks you're carrying? What has been hidden deep in your heart because it was not welcome in the wider world? What part of you yearns to be expressed and celebrated?
We will draw on the grounding of the Earth, our ancestors, our own inner courage and wisdom, and the community we have formed at camp in order to release our masks! You may find yourself ready to say goodbye to masks you've outgrown, or may want to simply set a mask down for an hour and explore what it's like to be without it. Through ritual, movement, sound, and play, we will discover what new iterations of our beings wish to be born.
Workshops with Quanta Jana
Yashapi ForUs Circle
The Yashapi ForUs is a facilitated interactive group Torus (Circle) for community building and individual expression and growth. Through this practice, we weave the relational fabric that helps us see our shared humanity and narrows the distance between our sense of self and the way others perceive us. Within this brave space, transformative synergistic energy is limited only by the trust, courage, and engagement of the beings gathered together.
The name ForUs is a mash-up of “Forum”, an homage to the personal development Est-Landmark and ZEGG Forum templates, and the circular “Torus” energy signature, which like the Golden Ratio and Fibonacci Spiral, appears extensively throughout the natural world, manifesting at scales from microscopic to cosmic.
Yashapi is a 501c3 promoting Pathways of Belonging into IC’s and regenerative lifestyles for BIPOC, PGM and other marginalized individuals. Quanta Jana curates these sessions with over 50 years of interpersonal circle experience and expertise.
Workshops with Sheniqua
We Are in this Together
In this circle, we’ll center singing songs that ground us in care, ignite our collective power, and remind us that joy and belonging are forms of liberation. No experience needed. Bring your voice, your story, and your presence.
Workshops with Tazima & Tony
Erotic Noir: Decolonizing the Body
This workshop unravels inherited shame and colonial ideals of beauty, inviting participants to embrace their bodies as sovereign, erotic, and free. Through somatic release, archetypal play, and collective ritual, this experience affirms the erotic as liberation and belonging.
Pleasure Alchemy: The Erotic as Medicine
Together we'll explore how erotic energy can be a source of healing and vitality. Through breath, touch, movement, and ritual, participants connect erotically with themselves, others, and spirit—transforming shame into power and desire into medicine.
Closing Circle with Facilitator Team
Honoring the experiences of the past ten days, we will connect, reflect, and bid farewell to this incarnation of our community.
