Transcend Fest VT 2026

As demonstrated in the Autobiography of a Yogi, we can see that yoga is a spiritual practice that can be transformative and mastery of it can be magical. In this workshop, we will turn inwards through meditation and practice to explore techniques to tap into our dormant magical abilities and learn how to bring them to the surface to support and enhance our practice. We will explore the elements, create our personal energy orbs and work as a group to raise our power and direct our energy towards a common cause.

This experiential, education-forward workshop explores how cannabis can be used as intentional wellness tools to support common menopausal experiences such as sleep disruption, anxiety, pain, inflammation, changes in desire, and shifts in arousal. Grounded in sex-positive, stigma-informed education, participants will learn how the endocannabinoid system intersects with hormonal changes — and how mindful cannabis practices may help restore balance, comfort, and connection.

Together, we’ll explore:
What’s actually happening in the body during perimenopause and menopause
How cannabis and cannabinoids may support nervous system regulation, pleasure, and pain relief
Practical, harm-reduction approaches to products like CBD lubes, topicals, tinctures, and non-smokable options
Consent, boundaries, and self-trust when using plant medicine during intimate or vulnerable states
This workshop centers choice, autonomy, and accessibility. Consumption is never required. Participants are invited to engage in reflective practices, gentle discussion, and embodied awareness — solo, partnered, or simply inward.
Whether you’re curious, cautious, or already cannabis-affirming, this space is designed to reduce stigma, increase literacy, and empower people navigating midlife to feel informed, supported, and at home in their bodies.

This workshop is an invitation to reconnect with the quiet, steady knowing that already lives within you.

Certainty Within guides participants through gentle movement, breath, reflection, and grounded conversation to explore what it feels like to trust yourself—in your body, your choices, and your inner voice. Rather than looking outward for validation or permission, you’ll learn how to recognize signals of safety, clarity, and alignment from the inside out.
This experience is especially supportive for those who lead, create, care for others, or feel pulled in many directions. Together, we’ll explore how nervous system regulation, embodied awareness, and presence create the foundation for clear boundaries, confident decisions, and authentic expression.
You’ll leave with practical tools, embodied insight, and a renewed sense of self-trust—able to move forward from a place of grounded certainty rather than urgency or doubt.
No fixing. No forcing. Just remembering how to lead from within.

There comes a moment when seeking outward answers no longer satisfies — when the soul whispers that the truth has always lived within. This one-hour sacred immersion is an invitation to gently enter the Akashic Records — the luminous field of consciousness where your soul’s story, gifts, lessons, and purpose are held in vibrational form. In a grounded yet mystical container, we will explore what the Records are, how they may be accessed with reverence and safety, and how they illuminate your unique path of service and creation. Through guided reflection, energetic preparation, and intuitive attunement, you will begin to recognize the patterns that shaped you, the wisdom that has followed you across lifetimes, and the deeper mission quietly unfolding beneath your everyday life. This is not about predicting the future — it is about remembering who you have always been.

In this workshop we will focus on healing each of the 7 primary energy centers, chakras, using energy healing, sound & intuition. Learn various practices and techniques to maintain balance within each chakra and clear/cleanse stagnation/blocks. It’s time we take our power back and remember our innate wisdom and healing abilities!

This workshop offers an embodied, exploratory approach to the Yamas and Niyamas, moving beyond theory and into lived experience. Through gentle movement, meditation, breath, reflection, discussion, and guided practices, we’ll explore how these principles show up in our relationships, boundaries, self-talk, energy, and daily choices.

What if a single sound could shift your inner world? Mantra meditation isn’t just a technique, it’s an ancient practice rooted in bhakti (devotion) that transforms your relationship with the mind and heart.

In this workshop, we’ll break down the essential components of mantra meditation, making it accessible whether you’re a curious beginner or a seasoned practitioner. You’ll gain practical insights into the structure of mantras, the power of sound and repetition, and how to align your meditation with your personal intentions.

Beyond theory, this is an opportunity to immerse yourself in the practice. Together, we’ll engage in a guided mantra meditation, helping you experience the calming and centering effects firsthand. You’ll leave with tools to create a sustainable mantra meditation practice, a deeper understanding of bhakti, and a renewed sense of connection with yourself and the world around you.

Together we dive into the connections between pelvic health, the nervous system and movement as medicine in this transformative experience. In this seminar, you will learn basci anatomy and function of the pelvic region including muscles, nerves, lymphatic system & more and the basics of the nervous system and its role in regulating bodily functions. Together we will dive into how stress, stress, emotions, and lifestyle affect the nervous system and, consequently, pelvic health. From there we approach movement as medicine and how you can use movement to promote pelvic health and nervous system health for an all encompassing approach to your body.

Are you ancestor-curious? Ancestor-bothered? Dreaming of dead relatives? Never thought about the ancestors before? Not even sure you know what an ancestor is?

Maybe you’re up to your neck in holistic teachings and modalities, but still drawn to understand the influence of the dead on our lives here. Maybe you’ve been on a path, and you’re encountering work that feels hollow or leaves you yearning for something more grounded. This super accessible, beginner-friendly workshop is for you!
Ancestral Healing Practitioner and writer Ashley Waverley will break down the basics of ancestral healing (the general concept) and Ancestral Lineage Healing (the method). The gathering will be very “why, how, what”—a true primer on the nature of the work, what you stand to gain if you venture in, what’s required of you, and how it’s different (or not) from what you think it is.
Learn more about what Ancestral Lineage Healing is, how to begin, and what it’ll look like once you’re engaged.
Leave with tangible skills to implement the basics of ritual safety and boundary-setting in your spiritual practice.
This offering is for you, if...
•You’re a smarty-pants skeptic who craves a richer spiritual life, but you have a hard time suspending disbelief.
• You’re metaphysically curious, but struggle to take certain practices seriously.
• You believe the challenges we face are not just our own—they may also be inherited.
• You believe personal healing may be incomplete without an accompanying ethic of cultural healing that works to transform racism, sexism, colonialism, etc.
• The “good vibes only” crowd aren’t your people; “light and love” alone leave you wondering…what about the rest of life’s complexities?
• You have a sense that you’re being impacted or influenced by generational patterns and you’re not sure what to do about it.
