Happenings

This year, we're honoring the pollinators intentionally AND celebrating all the ways we raise the vibration of humanity and Earth's magic.
Through creativity, education, and healing, we're cultivating a future rooted in abundance, equality, and collective care. Join us for workshops, activities, and communal art to help manifest a brighter world.

Opening and Closing Ceremony
We will open and close the weekend with a time to gather and ground ourselves as weavers of an amazing weekend.

Community Altar
Honoring our ancestors, mama nature, and the magic threads that bind us.
Please bring something meaningful: a photo, object, and/or treasure that connects our stories and hearts together.

Kids Korner
Our Kids Korner team is back with another spectacular weekend planned! Stop by during the day to play, explore, and dive into fun projects.
New this year: Saturday night babysitting from some of our awesome young people, so parents can enjoy some grown-up time (without needing to chase a toddler). More details soon!

Pollinator Parade
Don your wings and stingers and buzz and flit with us around the land!
Have extras? Bring to share or swap with those less pollinator inclined. Not yet pollinated? Make nature wings at our Kids Korner!

Groove Grove
Our Groove Grove has grown! In addition to our altar, come lounge in a hammock, sip something lovely in the tea tent, set intentions at the photo booth, dream through art, or join a workshop.

Tea Tent
New this year — A cozy chill space to relax and rejuvenate with comfy squish, tea blends, potions, and yummy snacks.

Vision for the World
Add your love, hopes, and magic to our community collage. Bring items from home, or use the supplies we've provided, to co-create a shared vision.

Workshops
We’re bringing back our faves, sound bath and yoga, plus new sessions led by you!
Passionate about a hobby, skill, or magic to share?

Song Circle & Guided Meditation

Stephie & Taryn - Friday

Stephie found song circles through the ecstatic dance community and Imagine Festival 8 years ago. As a lifelong singer and choir member struggling with stage fright, she found song circles to be a safe, welcoming space to share her music and sing in community. She believes singing is a powerful tool for self-regulation, emotional release, and connection. For thousands of years, communities have lifted their voices together to connect, collaborate, and create—and the beauty of singing is that everyone has a voice, so everyone can join. Song circles are an a cappella experience taught through repetition and call-and-response, inviting voices to weave together through harmonies, rounds, and playful collaboration.

Each Morning

Yoga

Ellie - Saturday

Eleanor began her yoga journey over twenty-five years ago and keeps returning to her mat, drawn to the practice’s ability to both anchor and energize. Most at home in a heated vinyasa flow, she also values the quiet clarity that comes when movement gives way to stillness. Inspired by the new moon’s invitation to pause, reflect and begin again, Eleanor is honored to hold space for practice at Professed this September. She invites all attendees to move with purpose and breathe with intention beneath the open sky. 

Kim - Sunday 

Kim has been practicing yoga since 2003, drawn to its ability to calm both her mind and nervous system. She maintains a daily practice and spends her weekends at Expand, a heated studio in Tacoma, where she thrives on the community energy and the invigorating challenge of moving with others in a hot room. Her practice is most often either OG hot yoga (AKA Bikram) or Vinyasa styles, but with a touch of Yin for balance. Yoga has been such a meaningful part of her life including how she met her partner, Sean, 20 years ago. Come join her Sunday as we integrate our amazing weekend and prepare for our next steps forward.

Sound bath

Mitch - Saturday

Mitch discovered yoga over 30 years ago as a result of an active lifestyle. What began with muscle conditioning and recovery from gymnastics and extreme sport injuries, like snowboarding and skateboarding, led to a traditional Hatha yoga practice and eventually deeper into Kundalini yoga. There he found the integration of sound, movement, breath-work, and meditation offered a far more transformational & immersive experience than stretching alone. Kundalini yoga offers a holistic approach to calming the mind and the body’s central nervous system through subtle energies like breath, lymph and chakra systems. Being a very physically active and busy person, Mitch find’s the subtleness of Kundalini is a good balance for anyone who needs to decompress from our stressful modern world. It is even great for people who are less active, such as less mobile or injured people as it may be just the right amount of activity for them. Being that Kundalini is approachable for anyone, Mitch loves practicing in community as it helps to boost the body’s energy/chi through a shared experience of breathing, mantra and receiving the healing vibrations of the gong. Blending this background with his love of music and DJing, Mitch is creating a one-of-a-kind journey for the Professionals—part dance party, part grounding practice, and entirely fun! Get ready to let go of your stress, drop into your body, and experience the fusion of familiar, classic 90’s hiphop beats with the ancient healing power of the gong and techniques of Kundalini yoga.

Drum Workshop

Tyler - Saturday

You are invited to an all skill level West African Drumming class taught by Tyler Richart, renowned drummer, percussionist and teacher. Tyler has travelled extensively in West Africa, studying drum and dance music, string music on the 21 string kora, flute music, and balaphone music. His djembe masters (teachers) are some of the most revered djembe players ever to live. He is the current percussionist for multiple groups in the northwest, including REPOSADO, Jimmy James and the Sure Things, as well as the Blowout Heavies Brass Band.

The first half of the class will be working on warm ups and honing drum hand skills. The second half will be learning traditional Malinke music from Guinea, West Africa using our voices, djembes, and dununs (west african bass drums with bells).

In additional, we’ll touch on a couple of common non-folkloric patterns that work well for more westernized jams with basses/guitars etc.

Some drums can be provided if you don't have one. Please let let us know if you need to borrow a drum.
