Transformational Village Festival or Visionary Village Festival, refers to temporary collaborative villages devoted to cultural transformation or the re-invention of humanity on earth. These events are not your ordinary music concerts. We are building a culture of caring – for each other, ourselves, our neighbors, our planet. These gatherings are collaborative open-sourced villages, devoted to experimentation and inspired co-creation of the world we want to live in. And we believe that YOU, that everyone, has gifts to bring to the table!

“In order to live in a world that we may make possible, a world that is thriving, balanced, peaceful, and just, we all have to engage in the endeavor to become that possibility. We are reaching out to you, because we recognize you as a Social Architect of the Now, offering a particular gift to the collective feast that is laid before us. As we all bring our individual experiences to the table, we each partake in the nourishment of being the co-authors of the greatest story ever told.”
~ Jamaica Stevens

There is so much to experience in these villages now!

The 2020 Transformational Village Festivals

 

CANTANDO LA VIDA (Singing Alive)
February 6-9, 2020   Finca Amrta, Costa Rica
A sharing and teaching gathering for ceremonial/devotional singing circles.  We change the world as we transform ourselves with songs of light, love, peace on earth, and goodwill to all beings! Cantando la Vida  is a member of the family of Singing Alive events (also happening in Cascadia, Appalachia and Hawaii) and exists to encourage the remembrance of this deep desire to sing from the heart. It provides resources in the form of 1) songs, 2) the community to sing them, and 3) support for those of us who want to live the teachings, the sadhana, of the songs. We therefore invite all who wish to activate and nurture their spiritual life in this way.

TRIBAL GATHERING (aka GEOPARADISE)
February 29 – March 15, 2020  Panama
Tribal Gathering is more than a festival, it is a place for the world to come together, where time is transcended, ancient and modern converge in symbiotic harmony, shaman manifest spirits of plants as musicians call on the ethos of imagination. Interfaith dialogue blends with a rich heritage of esoteric wellness, creativity, alternative cultures, active participation and love. Ultimately it is where we welcome the divine spirt of dance. Tribal Gathering is a meeting point for indigenous communities from all over the world. It is a gathering of tribes, from the past and present, the global transformational tribe and whoever feels the call to join in the celebrations. It takes place every year over the full moon of February on the Caribbean coast of Panama.

FOREST DANCE
March 14-18, 2020    Montes De Oro, Costa Rica
Forest Dance is a profound sacred ceremonial gathering where we dance and experiment with creativity in service, around a sacred fire, for three full nights until dawn. This model is designed to cultivate our energy together. It is designed to be in service together and to create an atmosphere for deep listening, where the musicians, which can include all of us, are swept up together in the energy that moves through the circle. Through the timeless action of circling the fire, in part from the pulsing of moving closer to music and away, and closer and away, there is a breaking away of the armor. The pieces we sensitive people need to cope day to day, come down and we begin to expand and open.

DESERT HEARTS
April 23-27, 2020    Los Coyotes Indian Reservation, CA
This isn’t just another meaningless party. This is about finding a new kind of freedom. A point where you reach your mental breaking point and come to your specific realization that is meaningful at exactly the right place, exactly the right time, and exactly the stage of life that you are currently in. Desert Hearts is about coming together in love, collectively, individually, and supernaturally. This is about the healing of land and souls. This is about touching heaven, even if only just for a few days. What we are doing is real. It’s more real and more true than anything we’ve ever been privileged enough to be a part of. It’s time to wake up, into a dream world where real life is mystically blissful–to a place where we won’t ever want to fall asleep because reality is finally better than our wildest dreams. This is what Desert Hearts is all about. We Are All Desert Hearts.

PLANTS enCHANT  
July  17-20, 2020   Salem Oregon
In devotion to song, ceremony & heart felt communion with the healing plant Kin-dom. This gathering  is intended to develop and strengthen ‘medicine culture’ thru the healing arts of holistic education, song-sharing, life-as-ceremony, and supportive community.   It recognizes ‘medicines’ as the force of nature that cures dis-ease, that takes us from being sick to being free.  This event aligns more with ‘deep herbalism‘, which cultivates a relationship thru plants to the healing presence of Nature, a pro-active approach to health, and less with the ‘shallow herbalism’ of ‘take the tincture and make the symptoms go away’, a greener version of the pharmaceutical model.  It acknowledges plants as elders in the society of nature as it exists on planet earth, and therefore teachers to the adolescent human species. As such, they can keep us aligned with the healthy functioning of the planetary metabolism, mirrored in our own inner and social ecologies.  Plants enChant is intended to honor and give space for their wisdom, to activate our abilities to receive it, and put this guidance into practice.

We believe that the experience of Burning Man can produce positive spiritual change in the world. The touchstone of value in our culture will always be immediacy: experience before theory, moral relationships before politics, survival before services, roles before jobs, embodied ritual before symbolism, work before vested interest, participant support before sponsorship.
