Dear Festival Family,
Get ready for an epic weekend filled with deep, deep magic, music, workshops, beauty, and unforgettable performances! We’ve crafted a truly special experience for you, with something magical around every corner.
We know the rain might be on your mind, but don’t worry—our festival will be a cozy haven! We’ve set up plenty of covered areas filled with rugs, pillows, and all the cozy vibes you could ask for. So, let the rain fall while you warm up with delicious, nourishing food and drinks from the Cascadia Kitchen, or snuggle up by the sacred fire. And here's some good news—the forecast looks sunny on Sunday, so we can all dry out together, bask in the sunshine, and marvel at the stars.
A little extra treat: a handful of you can stay Sunday night to keep the celebration going. We’ll also be celebrating Dorothy, one of our amazing producers, on her birthday! Be sure to wish her a happy birthday this weekend!
We’re soooo excited to host you and can’t wait to create magic and mark this important time with you.
See you soon!
With love and excitement,
Aliko & Dorothy, Heart Expansion Producers
Honoring Earth, Sky, and everything in between.
Join us for a magical 3 day gathering at the Heart Expansion land in Duvall, WA as we journey from the realms below to the realms above, bridged by our bodies.
Across many different cultures you can find depictions of human beings bridging earth and sky - the three celebrations in Chinese medicine, the Axis Mundi or the cosmic axis, the Tree of Life in Judaism, and many more.
In this 3 day gathering, we will honor and experience all of these aspects of ourselves - our animal nature, our human nature, and our divine nature - in their fullness.
🌎 Beginning with the Earth, our first day together will weave Earth skills, song circles, acoustic music, and primal connection.
👤 Moving to the bridge of the body, we will invite in embodiment, grief work, cacao, relational healing, and pleasure.
🌠 Ascending to the sky, our final day together will involve breathwork, angelic ascension, meditation, and more.
