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!

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 EN CHANTS
July 19-22, 2019 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.

Forest Dance is a Healing and Expressive Art Ceremonial Fire Circle Gathering. Come join our family as we share in deep and profound celebration of our lives together on sacred land, in the hills of Costa Rica. Where the scent of the wild flowers and the sound the Cicada, remind us just how alive we can be together. Our facilitators and teachers will guide the circle on a profound journey helping us to access and reclaim our own core, our inspiration, and our connection to nature. Forestdance is a ceremonial gathering, a rite of passage. This gathering is so profound, so beautiful, that it has shaped a community. It has reignited passions for so many talented people, reclaiming inspiration, and has shown an alternative way to co-exist that many of us have stopped dreaming about long ago.
