Transcend Fest VT 2026

Classical work as originally intended: intelligent, purposeful movement designed to support strength, mobility, breath, and presence.

In this session, Michelle Rooney guides participants through the foundational Pilates repertoire, exploring the classics as both a physical practice and a mindful system of self-study. Emphasis is placed on breath, precision, control, and flow, allowing the work to feel both timeless and immediately relevant.
Participants will learn key classical exercises, understand their original intent, and experience how these movements can be adapted for modern bodies without losing their integrity. This workshop is suitable for all levels and offers something meaningful for both newcomers and seasoned practitioners.

This power yoga workshop is an intentional, breath-driven practice designed to build strength, mobility and deep mind-body connection. Through dynamic sequencing, conscious transitions, and moments of stillness, participants are invited to move with purpose rather than force.

This class blends traditional power yoga with somatic awareness, encouraging practitioners to listen inward, explore their edges safely, and reconnect with their innate strength- physically, mentally and energetically.
Expect a balanced flow that challenges the body, steadies the nervous system, and leaves you feeling grounded, empowered, and present.

Open to all levels, with thoughtful options and variations offered throughout, this practice is less about performance and more about embodiment- meeting yourself exactly where you are and moving from that place with intention.
Participants will leave feeling strong, centered, and deeply connected to their breath, body and inner resilience.

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 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.

Manifesting Magic Through Movement is an immersive silent-disco dance experience designed to awaken intuition, expand awareness, and embody intention through sound and motion.

Guided by a curated playlist and shifting between instructed intentional movement and free-form play , you’ll explore your edge, release inhibition, and access a state of embodied presence where manifestation becomes felt, not forced.

This workshop combines the power of movement and breathwork, set to intentional beats to help you tap into your body’s wisdom and connect with your inner flow. Through flow breathwork and guided movement, release tension, explore deeper states of consciousness, and activate your creative energy.

This 60-minute experience guides participants through a gentle arc of rhythm, reflection, movement, and sound, allowing the nervous system to release excess activation and settle into a grounded, integrated state.

We begin with a brief welcome circle to establish safety and connection, followed by cardio drumming to rhythmically discharge stress and reconnect participants to their bodies in an accessible, non-intimidating way. From there, participants are guided through a reflective inquiry exploring Who are you? and Who do you want to be? using journaling and an optional mirror or phone-camera reflection to deepen authentic self-awareness (always choice-based).
Insights are then embodied through Soul Flow, an intuitive, slow-flow movement practice co-facilitated with Soul Flow instructor Lori, weaving movement with reflective pauses and optional writing. The experience concludes with a sound meditation and integration, using crystal bowls and grounding tones, followed by a gentle closing circle.
Participants leave feeling regulated, centered, and more connected.
Participants will:
Experience practical tools for nervous system regulation through rhythm, movement, and sound.
Gain clarity through guided self-reflection around identity and intentionality.
Translate insight into embodied awareness while feeling grounded, present, and integrated.

Travel with the sound of music into your body. Move freely to the sound of your own heartbeat and expression. Ecstatic Dance is a kind of moving meditation, but it can really be whatever you need it to be. It can be a somatic practice of releasing through movement and sound. It can be a playful way to bring out your inner child. It can also be a space of deep contemplation. It is a journey into experiencing yourself in tandem with music.

We will start in circle with breath and guided gentle movement, that will transition us all into our own free-form movement. We close in silence, offering the energy generated in the container to ourselves and the world.
No mat necessary. No dance experience needed. See you there

Experience a beautiful recalibration of your own energy in communion with the essence of cacao. Allow this experience to support you with enhanced clarity, emotional awareness, and grounded energy as you move through the weekend.

It is an ascent from low key to a gradual build up of energetic momentum, unique to each person's experiencing through the peaks and valleys of their own frequency shifts.
You will be served a potent shot of cacao elixer from a single origin farm sourced directly from Guatemala. We will ground into the power of our own energy source and strengthen our field through heart centered presence, gentle movement, and empowered sound activations. This is a unique collective gathering for all who want to remove inorganic distortions from their field, amplify their energetic potency, and connect to their own sovereign truth.

This experiential workshop guides participants through the five yogic koshas or shealths of being: the physical body, the breath body, the mental body, the wisdom body and the bliss body. Unite these layers of being by bridging yogic philosophy with somatic practices to notice the stories and potential limiting beliefs that live within our stored tension. Through somatic movement, self-bodywork, breathwork, meditation, and sound healing, you are invited to notice the subtle energies of aliveness as you journey into rediscovering wholeness.

The session begins with gentle somatic movement, including facial and vocal release, to soften tension, increase sensory awareness, and support a felt sense of safety within the body. Participants move into somatic breathwork to cultivate internal energy and support nervous system activation and regulation, allowing stored tension and habituated responses to unwind through sensation and awareness. Transition into a guided meditation to witness what sensations, thoughts and emotions have risen to the surface. Make space to see yourself with compassion as awareness is turned inward. 
Close your experience with an immersive sound bath of intentional frequencies from the gong, singing bowls, chimes, drums, and flutes. Gently shift into a receptive, subconscious state, where the brain can repattern, the body can deeply relax, and space opens to notice what is moving, settling, and integrating within.
This workshop is for those curious about the intersection of yogic wisdom and somatic healing, including practitioners, teachers, and anyone seeking a grounded, embodied approach to self-regulation, inner listening, and meaningful rest.

AI is simply a reflection of the human mind, but not just one mind, rather our collective, mass consciousness. The internet gave us a way to see how mind works on a global scale. AI is the next step back, an amplification of that same mind, accessible to all at any time.

There is nothing inherently good or bad about it. As the Yoga Sutras remind us, the mind can be a source of suffering or liberation depending on our relationship to it. So the question becomes: do we let it run the show, or do we remain established in the witness? Or do we become even more absorbed in mind, losing sight of what’s real? AI is the most powerful tool we’ve created since the internet which means our relationship to it matters.

In this workshop, we’ll explore where yoga and AI intersect in this space, how the same yogic techniques we use to understand, observe, and work skillfully with the mind can guide how we meet AI.

We’ll talk about awareness, discernment, and staying rooted in what’s real. There will be time for discussion, reflection, and simple practices you can take with you, so AI becomes something you can control consciously… instead of something that controls you.
