INTENTIONIGHT is the peak experience of our event as we open up the gathering to additional guests for the evening. A great way to include friends and family who can't make it for the 5 days!
Come play with the Intention community for our biggest celebration of the year! Can't make it for all of Winter Intention? We'd love to see you for at least one night!
Every year we invite people who can't make the whole event to come get down with us for one night. This year it’s on NYE again!
The location is beautiful Camp Elphinstone on the Sunshine Coast near Gibsons, a short ferry ride from Vancouver.
We recommend that you arrive sometime after lunch, catch some workshops during the day, have dinner with everyone around 6:45 pm, and then enjoy the party.
When you wake up on Wednesday, you can catch breakfast and/or brunch, stay for the closing circle, and head out with everyone else in the afternoon.
You MUST buy your IntentioNight tickets by Dec 14 AT 10pm, no exceptions!

::WORKSHOPS::
The following workshops will be happening on the afternoon of Dec 31 from approx 2 to 5pm and these are included in your ticket price!
Fermentation - Simple Techniques for Complex Flavours and Gut Health - We will learn how to make four ferments other than sauerkraut, discuss how to use the techniques to utilize a wide range of seasonal produce, taste the finished examples, discuss health benefits and alternative approaches to increasing gut health.
Meditative Musical Sound Journey - Andrew will lead participants on a magical meditative musical sound journey performed on unique invented instruments, drawing from musical traditions of India, Africa, & the Middle East.
Unlock Your Creativity - This workshop will explore what blocks we currently have around creativity and how we can shift them to generate more flow. I will be leading you through a Shamanic journey (similar to a guided meditation) where we will be working with our inner children, guides and other curious creatures. There will be moments of play as well as practical ideas that you can add to your toolbox, so bring your journals and a pen! I look forward to seeing you there.
The Question Game - The Question Game is an interactive game of questions and answers. It's a way to know others and be known and seen yourself on a deeper level. Participants will have the opportunity to ask questions while sitting in the audience and (if they desire) to be the Questionee and answer questions from the stage. The game can be as tame or as spicy as you like, and always produces a sense of joy and interrelatedness. The Question Game has been shown to reliably produce huge smiles, deeper connection, authentic laughs, and unexpected revelations. Tested at various events and festivals over the past 3 years, come experience The Question Game for yourself, know yourself and others deeper, make new connections, and learn how to bring The Question Game to your next gathering.
Sacred Song Circle - As we turn into the season of darkness, we gather to raise our voices, celebrating the cycles of nature and connecting with a deeper truth. No singing experience needed. Music is medicine for all!
Fire Purification Ritual - Surrender to the element of fire in a ritual to burn away and transmute our deeply held grief, pain and darkness. In this ritual expect to go deep as we ask the fire to transmute and purify that which no longer serves us, so we may step into 2020 anew. Making an offering to the fire is how we begin, please bring an offering to be burned by the fire (not returned) - such as tobacco, herbs, smudge, crystals, special objects, items gathered from nature. Offerings are also available during the ritual from Dani. This is a closed circle, so please respect the ritual by arriving on time, and earlier if possible.

::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.
::ACKNOWLEDGMENT::
This event takes place on the traditional, unceded and illegally occupied territory of the Coast Salish peoples, including the Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish) Nation. We always strive to leave no trace, to protect the land where we gather and to invite awareness of the history of this land.
