place to gather everyone's energy from the event.
The Tree of Release will be set up alongside the altar, so that people can meditate on
their intentions, and then write out their releases and hang them on the tree.
On the evening of the 1st, there will be an open drumming & firespinning intro ceremony,

partner to be the lead or inspiration in the dance. Contact is an excellent movement
language that most anyone of any physical training can find some interesting conversations
with.
Bring loose stretchy clothes and expect to sweat.

| Digging the Dark |

Brian Mackenzie & Kenn Quayle |
|
| |
Dec 28, 8-10p, Healing Room |
size: |
20-40 |
| tek: |
Digging the Dark: the alchemy of consciousness transformation
Participants collaborate to create healing Art as Ritual/Meditation starting from their individual
High Dreams, we move on to share Low Dreams: Bad Trips, Dystopian Visions and Apocalyptic Nightmares.
Following the dreaming process through the Via Negativa we arrive at the Cosmic Void, the no-thing-ness,
the womb which births every thing.
Participants will be encouraged to sift through and sort individual life experiences, daring to look
at dark corners of pain and hurt, and through intentional community psycho-emotional gardening process,
compost our muck into valuable fertilizer for our beautiful flowers and butterflies. Alchemy invites
a process of entering the darkest, densest aspects of our earthly (separate, egocentric) experience
in order to access the Prima Materia, the "lead" which becomes the "gold" of our (unified,
collective) community values manifested.
We will draw on the history and experiences of various paths
such as First Nations, Creation Spirituality, Reclaiming Collective, and Dreambody Work (Process
Oriented Psychology) to create conscious community healing through ritual, storytelling and creative
expression. Beginning with the Dream of "enlightened holistic community" we share our actual
experiences, including fears and doubts (such as encountered during altered states, or in trying to be
true to ourselves while developing relationships). Integration, reconciliation, recapitulation leads
through meditation to the Metacosmic Void which is the womb wherein the collective dream seed is planted.
Bring: any art supplies, costumes etc. that can be incorporated as participants desire. Bring or be
prepared to create representations of High and Low Dreams in any media you wish (including movement,
song, story or waddeva).
|

Brian and Kenn have over 23 years of combined experience in community building and peer education.
This includes training in counselling, conflict resolution, harm reduction, and process work.

size: |
open |
| tek: |
Using sacred intentionality, ritual practices, and specific movements/gestures/formations,
we will attempt to focus and direct the energy of the dance floor experience in a
ceremonial context in a specially designed sequence. The goal is to trace the arc of a
ceremony – creating a sacred container, generating energy, and dedicating that energy –
through trance dancing to electronic dance music, so that the ceremony, like the dance
floor experience itself, is danced/embodied/enacted rather than spoken.

Jennifer Kesic |
|
| |
Dec 30, 11-noon, Classroom Alpha |
size: |
open |
| tek: |
This workshop could be called "The Hunter and the Hippy" ?!!!
The importance of providing food which is clear of today's multi-faceted tainting
tactics brings a story-telling journey of a first-time hunting experience. Getting
back to the the roots of spiritually connecting with the land, her animals and
ourselves is part of the wonderful journey through life and her faithful partner -
death. My goal in this workshop is to educate in hopes of dissolving stereotypes that
we all may struggle with. Afterwards - a disscussion on the ethics of hunting in
society today.
|
| bio: |
Recognizing that my family's livelihood has come from a business in hunting and fishing,
it has become obvious to me to learn these skills for myself. It is also a calling to
bond through experience and better understand the depths of who we are, father and
daughter - seemingly worlds apart...

| Experiential Community Building |

Dec 31, 11-noon, Rec Hall |
size: |
everyone |
| tek: |
The purpose of this Macro (large group) workshop is to provide a space early in the
Intention Experience that allows for participants to initiate relationships with one
another that promote harmony, connectedness and purpose.
Through the use of a series of Experiential Games and Group Cooperative Tasks participants
will explore the dynamics of human interaction. The facilitator will model certain
fundamental aspects of building community such as Taoist leadership and challenge by
choice vs challenge by coercion. Select activities will promote higher levels of
understanding in the areas of conflict resolution, cooperation vs. competition, problem
solving and decision making, trust building, and communication skill building.
The nature of this workshop is to promote skills for community that will ideally be
applied throughout the weekend. I am requesting that you consider this workshop to take
place early in the program and that it be considered that this experience is an all
group one where each participant in Intention is present. |

Inject - are three East Vancouver musicians (Amrit Basi, Jamie Lubiner and
Peter 'Fish' Fisera) performing live electronic dance and downtempo music. Not
exactly Live PA, but far more than 'just' a band, Inject uses no automation or
sequencing, instead relying on the live playing of electronic drums, keyboards
and processed guitar; to produce experimental and highly danceable music
inspired by downtempo/jazzbient, trance, breaks, tech-house and drum&bass.
Lalo - is a gifted singer from the Sunshine Coast, with a very powerful voice
and yet the ability to blend seamlessly with existing music, even in an
improvisational setting. She draws her inspiration from soul, trip-hop,
jungle, acid-jazz and other organic stylez.

| PsychoActivism: Common Myths behind Laws & Rights |
with: |
Aurora & Knigel |
|
| |
Dec 31, 11-noon, Classroom Beta |
size: |
open |
| tek: |
In this workshop we hope to raise awareness of the current laws pertaining to
psychedelics and consciousness, to myth-bust and stop the spreading of dangerous
memes which are commonly spread throughout our culture, to explain the various
rights we have when dealing with law enforcement, to explore the roots and reasons
of the laws and their consequences. It is important to know the rights we have as
individuals for our own safety, for in many cases these rights only come
into place when we understand them and stand up in their defense. We hope
to aid understanding of the issues of psychedelic politics and inspire
people to learn how to take an activist stance, rather than being a
passive user.
|
| bio: |
We are working on a website called PsychoAction.org, (which at the moment is
currently based on its forums) which one of the focuses is on Psychedelic activism
and the law. We have been doing lots of research on the laws as they are in Canada
(and abroad) as well as the many myths that surround interaction with the police.
We've talked to many friends and people and found that the majority have no idea of
their rights, and so if put in a situation where they have to deal with the police
their lack of awareness can easily be taken advantage of. We also work at the Urban
Shaman raising awareness of intentional psychedelic use and responsibility.
