Summer Intention 2023
Summer Intention is the summer camp-out version of the famous Winter Intention retreat. Summer Intention is a four day, three night event where a village of all ages comes together to celebrate, share, workshop, perform, dance, play, heal, connect, share meals, and have fun. Intention is a time and space for being authentically ourselves in a dynamic, loving and inspirational community setting.

Delicious, healthy vegetarian dinners will be provided during the weekend as part of your ticket.
Intention gatherings incorporate dance parties, workshops, yoga, art, DIY culture, as well as shared meal times and spontaneous fun. Intention is a warm, wonderful, and special community offering events that many return to year after year. One of our community’s goals is to create a transformational container that continuously weaves our vibrant community together.
Come celebrate with us at Summer Intention. It's awesome!

TICKETS AND REGISTRATION
More information to come on social media and website
*******************
LOCATION
We have booked a beautiful, private venue near Roberts Creek on the Sunshine Coast. More information about the location, directions, and a rideshare spreadsheet will be sent to registrants before the event.
This event takes place on the traditional, unceded, and illegally occupied territory of the Coast Salish peoples, including the shíshálh (Sechelt) Nation. We have tremendous gratitude for this land and everything that it provides, and invite awareness and consideration of how and why the people of the nation of Canada have access to all of its beauty and abundance. We always strive to leave no trace and to protect the land where we gather.
*******************
CO-CREATION
Co-creation is an important aspect of Intention. Thus, as part of our events we ask all participants to contribute by signing up for a volunteer shift when they complete their registration. Contributions may include welcoming people at the gate, helping with decor, cooking community meals, being a calm presence at peer support, facilitating a game in the Kid's zone, or helping to make sure we leave the land as beautiful as it was when we arrived. You can choose which parts of the event you feel called to support.

WORKSHOPS
Intention is an opportunity for individuals to share skills, magic and love with the community. This year, we hope to have many talented folks stepping up to offer their gifts at the gathering in the form of workshops. Every attendee at Intention is invited to give a workshop on whatever topic they desire.
Previous years' workshops have included: Forest Therapy Walk, Empathy and Vulnerability, Chakra Yoga Meditation, Community Singing Circle, Faerie School, Exploring Theatre, and many more.

MEALS
Meals provided will be vegetarian and gluten-free*, with vegan options. We ask participants to bring their own scrumptious breakfast and lunch foods and anything they require for any special dietary needs. There will be many opportunities to help with preparation, cooking, and cleaning, so don't be shy to pitch in! :-)
*Though all meals are planned as gluten-free, they may not meet the standards required for celiacs or people with severe intolerances.
****************
CONSENT
Intention consciously fosters a culture of consent. We want everyone to feel comfortable and respected at our events. If you’re unsure about an interaction or unsure if you have consent, please remember to ask first. Remember, only an ongoing positive, enthusiastic response means Yes! When consent is respected, we feel more free to be fully ourselves.
****************
AND MORE
Everyone is encouraged to find their own way to connect into the festival flow and become involved in the daily life, music, and general production of the event.

Intention is co-created and participant-driven. We share our personal gifts and learn from the community. It is an opportunity to work together with old and new friends to create a safe container for a rich exploration of people, places, music, art, self-expression, and creativity.
We are always looking for volunteers to help with organizing and creating events. If you would like to be involved in the organization process, please contact the org team at in...@intentiongathering.org .
