Invitation to Intention Retreat
Alright, heads up and hear the call
it's time to pump the volume
and make sure that you are all
ready to participate in the fate we create
in the temporary autonomous zone
our tribal village -Camp Elph-in-stone!!
Intention 7 on the Sunshine Coast BC, Canada
Thurs.Dec.29-Monday Jan 2
Intention Retreat enters its 7th cycle. Begun pre-y2k as a tribal dance community response of unity in the face of the unknown future, the retreat continues to hold a space for us to reflect on where you are now and where you want to go empowered by collectivity and creativity. During this time we put our energies into one container to make manifest the world we want to live in within a temporary automous zone (T.A.Z.). Expect workshops, presentations, performances, collaborations,dance labs,innovative yoga formats,meditation space,film screenings, lots of music and massive networking! And of course expect a New Years Eve celebration that brings in 2006 without the alchohol vibe and with lots of collective fuel for setting our intentions ablaze. The first night of 2006 will again feature a Temple night set to chill music perfect for entering the year with warm heartfuls of love.
This year Intention returns to the Sunshine Coast to its familiar home at Camp Elphinstone. This is a 40 minute ferry ride from Horseshoe Bay which is about a 30minute drive from Vancouver BC. With 3 years of experience with this site, the possibilities for this year are exciting to consider though anticipated to be challenging considering what we know of the expansive grounds we need to manage safely. The post-apocalyptic training skills inherant in this exercise of tribal unity are part of the draw of this event, giving participants an opportunity to learn what it takes to hold things together in all kinds of weather. Think not rave camp and think more like Jedi Training Camp. In this event the production team does the bare skeleton work but everyone in attendance makes up the functioning limbs and sinews to make the event what it will be. With a goal of encompassing multiple generations of participants from infant to elderly it is encouraged that all people coming out consider who they would most love to share this experience with and how can the most bridging of the generation divide occur. Special attention given to the young and the old to make this accessable is a forefront goal as we consider what we can learn from both of these generations.
The process begins with igniting community imagination stations which function to invision the possibilties of what can be done with the resources we have as a tribe. From here pods break into formations to prepare between now and Dec.29 allowing relationships and trust to form before we arrive at Camp Elphinstone. Outer participants from outside the 604 area code will be able to attune to the pulse of things in movement and form remote efforts either as individuals or with their hometribes attending. Updates will be posted regularly to keep people apprised of how best to prepare.
Registration
holds multi-fold purposes. Most importantly it helps the camp and everyone going to prepare adequately for the volume of attendees anticipated. Secondly it serves as an important orientation and it gives people more time to prepare themselves and increases participation in advance. Thirdly, it lessens the stress of those few who end up having to register people who show up last minute. Learning to pre-register will enable a practice that enhances the dance community at large who relies a lot on pre-registration to survive at doing the events we love.
Cost per person is going to be posted soon but roughly the same bracket as previous years (between$120- $200) for the whole retreat which includes a healthy breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks, tea,coffee,hot choclate,cabin accomodation,access to showers,washrooms, and the New Years Eve celebration. Partial subsidy fund will be available to those in need and negotated with the registration elves.
