Transcend Fest VT 2026

Accepting this invitation simply means showing up exactly as you are, open to your own curiosities and intentions while experiencing some of the most potently delightful cacao you've ever had.

The essence of chocolate is meant to be known and shared. Its true essence, similiar to aspects of what the human spirit desires to thrive, is ready to connect as a sacred ally to help restore the natural balance within. Allow your curioisity to take you to an edge where joy, courage, acceptance, and peace meet. 
Explore beyond the bounds of the ordinary by entering the inner wisdom of your own heart and inviting cacao to amplify your intentions, energy and dissolve any energetic blockages and distortions.

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.

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.

This experiential tantra workshop is an invitation to rebuild a loving relationship with your body, your energy, and the way you connect with others.

Through grounded practices such as breathwork, embodied awareness, eye gazing, consent exercises, nervous-system attunement, and conscious communication, participants explore how self-trust, emotional safety, and presence directly shape intimacy, attraction, and connection. Rather than focusing on performance, this class supports you in reconnecting with your natural vitality — the life force that fuels confidence, pleasure, magnetism, creativity, and authentic relating.

Participants are guided to explore how their relationship with their own body, boundaries, and desires influences the quality of their relationships with others. As self-connection deepens, many people experience a renewed sense of sensual aliveness, clearer communication, deeper emotional intimacy, and a more empowered relationship with their own sexuality and personal energy.

This workshop offers practical tools for real life — supporting healthier communication, stronger boundaries, deeper trust, and more conscious connection in romantic relationships, friendships, and within yourself.
No partner is required. All practices are trauma-aware, consent-centered, inclusive, and fully optional. You are always invited to participate at your own comfort level.

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.

Explore the powerful synergy of breath and sound. In the Siddha tradition, chanting is a high-level form of breath control that stimulates the body's natural recovery systems. Dr. Sundar explains the biological mechanisms of regulated vocalization and leads the group through traditional and innovative chanting methods. This immersion is a science-backed journey into how sound journeys can be used as a clinical tool for emotional regulation and mental presence.

There comes a moment when a woman no longer asks who she is becoming — only what sheis ready to reclaim. This one-hour ceremonial circle is a sacred pause... a remembering.Together we enter a held, intimate space where invisibility softens, over-giving dissolves, and the quiet voice of inner wisdom rises.

Within this circle, the living current of the Goddess awakens — the sovereign grace of Isis, the devotional fire of Mary Magdalene, the luminous wisdom of Sophia, and the threshold-guarding power of Hekate. These are not distant deities, but ancient names for forces already moving through your body, your story, your becoming.

Through guided reflection, gentle ritual, and embodied presence, you will honor the woman you have been and anchor the sovereign woman you are. This is not self-improvement. It is sacred return.

You will not leave with more to do — you will leave more fully yourself.

🌙 Will you meet her?

This tender, connection based workshop will help you feel closer to fellow participants while arming you with somatic emotional regulation tools to help yourself and your loved ones in difficult moments. Participants will interact in pairs to explore the calming effect of touch when it is used with consciousness and consent.

Are you drawn to crystals, and perhaps started a small collection but not sure what to do with them? Join Rachel to learn how we can invite crystals into our lives and learn to connect with their energies for healing, support, love, protection and more. We will learn about how to select the right stones for you, care for them, assign them tasks, align with the chakras and work with crystal grids. Attendees will leave with information about safe vs. toxic crystals, rituals for daily use and find inspiration on how to tap into the latent magic of the stones.

Pharmakeia is the practice of plant spirit magic. It can be a powerful tool to help us develop our spiritual practice by removing the illusion of separation between our worlds and help us recognize the duality within ourselves. In this workshop we will meet some of our plant allies through meditation, talk about how we can incorporate into our practice and perform the Khernips ritual to dedicate ourselves to the path.
