Transcend Fest VT 2026

Kick off the weekend with an electrifying opening ceremony led by festival Creatrix - Aria Nyx. Set your intentions and tap into the collective energy of Transcend Fest.  This is your moment to arrive fully, connect with your people, and step into a weekend of expansion, expression, and transformation.

Restorative is held for several minutes, the goal is to experience relaxation and restoration. This means that there is very little effort of any kind during a practice. Accessing tranquility and peace through healing, nurturing postures. A passive, transformative style of yoga that asks participants to hold postures. Longer hold of poses is done to strengthen, lengthen, and provide therapeutic release to joints, muscles, ligaments, fascia, and other connective tissues. Cultivate stillness, meditation, and deep awareness, but they access these states in different but equally beneficial ways.

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.

Meditations in eMotion are essentially meditations done through movement, set to music, and tied to various emotions. Some emotions can be so strong they’re almost paralyzing. This revolutionary tool will teach you how to *move* through those emotions - literally. Have you ever experienced such a strong emotion (deep grief for example) that you wondered if you’d ever be truly happy or feel “like yourself” again? Or felt stuck in an emotion that you just couldn’t shake (sadness/anger/stress/frustration), and wished you could somehow let it go and move forward? You actually can. Learn how to shift out of not-so-great feeling emotions, enhance your positive feelings, and improve emotional well-being overall. This practice is a total life game changer! And these short moving meditations can easily be incorporated into daily life.

Perceive the world before we put words to it.

In this workshop, participants are guided through a series of sensory experiences that invite listening beyond thought. Short pieces of music, simple tastes, and gentle movement become moments of attention that is felt first in the body, then allowed to take form through color, line, and shape.
Rather than trying to create an image, participants respond. Sound moves the hand. Taste becomes texture. Feeling becomes motion. The page becomes a place where experience is translated as it’s happening, not after it’s been explained or analyzed.
Breath supports the process throughout, helping participants stay present as energy shifts across the senses. Over time, patterns begin to emerge, showing each person how they naturally receive and interpret the world around them.
Sensing in Color is playful, surprising, and quietly revealing. It offers a direct experience of intuition at work and a glimpse into how identity is shaped by what we notice, trust, and allow to move through us.
No art experience is needed. Only curiosity and a willingness to listen with the senses.

In this movement- and discussion-based workshop, participants will explore Krav Maga self-defense not only as a set of physical skills but also as a practice of mindful empowerment and self-awareness. Empowered Presence focuses on cultivating confidence and resilience, equipping participants with the tools to establish boundaries, honor their inner strength, and feel safe within themselves and their surroundings. Through a blend of guided discussions, practical combatives and self protection tactics, this session will help to deepen their connection to their body and mind. They’ll discover how self-defense can be a holistic wellness practice that can help them feel rooted and empowered in everyday life.

Join us for an experience that integrates movement, awareness, and reflection, nurturing your ability to protect your peace, express your truth, and unlock your true potential

This is a beginner based class but all levels are welcome.

This event is for anyone seeking a deeper healing experience and growth within their own personal spiritual practice. All paths and traditions are welcome.

Join Khaluna Kam as she hosts a Traditional Kamlanie - ancestor fire. This will involve cleansing with Shaman Juniper, a lineage-based paleolithic ancestor fire, offerings (will be provided), drumming, singing, throat singing, and complete freedom of expression. Traditionally performed in regions like Tuva and among peoples such as the Sakha and Kazakhs in Siberia and Central Asia. Her lineage comes from Khakassia, Siberia. Her teacher is Morsuk Kam (Austria), and his teacher is Karagai Kam (Siberia/Kathmandu).

Following the Kamlanie, there will be a gathering called "Freedom of the Self". This will include discussing the basics of traditional Shamanism and some everyday techniques for self-healing.
