Intention Gathering is a community of people who come together to celebrate, share, workshop, perform, dance, play, heal, connect, share meals, and have fun. We have two multi-day events a year (winter and summer), monthly potlucks in the Vancouver area and occasional dance parties and fundraisers. Our gathering is a time and space for being authentically ourselves in a dynamic, loving and inspirational community setting. Our multi-day events incorporate dancing, parties, kids play space, workshops, rituals, artisans market, yoga, art, and a rich culture, one that continues to weave a vibrant community together.
