45 MINUTES · INTERACTIVE · LIMITED TO 30–50 PARTICIPANTS
What if the Festival didn’t just inspire us—but gave us something to practice?
Thursday, November 12 & Friday, November 13, 2026
Times and locations vary by workshop

Step into a new Festival experience designed to be intimate, engaging and deeply practical.
In small groups of approximately 30–50 participants, these 45-minute workshops invite you to connect directly with Festival speakers and experienced community teachers through conversation, hands-on learning and embodied practices.
Each workshop focuses on a particular skill or experience—from navigating difficult conversations and technological change to storytelling, movement, creativity and compassion.
Come curious. Participate. Leave with something you can carry into everyday life.
Attendees with a full festival pass or daypass are given priority to select workshops at no additional cost. The workshops will then be free and open to all others on a first come, first serve basis.
We get to be alive today. We get to be alive together.
