June 28 - July 1, 2024
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.
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.
Details can also be found at our Facebook event
Come celebrate with us at Summer Intention. It's awesome!

THIS YEAR'S THEME
The theme for Summer Intention 2024 is Embrace the Chaos!
Instead of fighting the chaos of these crazy times, let's learn how to support each other and find joy in the unpredictability. Intention is about accepting what is, celebrating the unexpected, and finding peace amidst the madness. In this space we will lift each other up, dance through the craziness, and discover the magic in the mayhem. You are invited to dive into an adventure in which each of us embraces the chaos and finds our calm within it.
*******************
LOCATION
We have booked a beautiful, private venue near Roberts Creek on the Sunshine Coast.
More information about the location and directions will be sent to registrants before the event. It's a 20-minute drive from the ferry. We'll send the address to ticket holders so please check your emails close to the date! There is also some important information here.
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.
Unfortunately, the location is not wheelchair-friendly (a couple of short but steep gravel paths, no wheelchair-accessible washrooms) but other mobility issues may not be problematic. Contact info[at]intentiongathering[dot]org if you have concerns or questions.

RIDESHARE

CO-CREATION
Intention is fully co-created and participant-driven. 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, 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.
For a preview of some of the workshops we have coming up at Summer Intention, click here. A full list with more detail should be on the website by June 24 at latest.

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.
At Intention 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.
