EXPERIENTIAL HANDS-ON WORKSHOP
The Soulshine Tent is a great space to host an intimate workshop on the floor or a huge group activity with the use of the stage & PA system. This stage is often used for musician sets, large and loud workshops, and activities that contain more than 40 people in the audience. While the tent space is an interactive, but intimate and comfortable setting for community participation of workshops and demonstrations. This space is best utilized for activities involving 40 people or less that does not require a PA. We are looking for workshops that engage festival-goers in meaningful and creative activities. In past years we have hosted classes pertaining to healing arts, instruments built from recycled materials, and biofuel production methods.
BODY MOVEMENT WORKSHOP
Let’s get moving! Share with us how you want us to stretch, shake, shimmy and embrace our bodies. If you want to host a meditation, yoga, body movement or similar workshop, this is the place for you. If you want to host a workshop on belly dancing, how to do the tootsie-roll or other dance class, this is also the place for you! With this kind of workshop, we prefer to have instructors use the stage and PA system to really reach all participants.
HANDS-ON ART WORKSHOPS
Murals, finger-painting, sculpting OH MY! Hands-on art workshops have been wonderfully creative over the years, from giant community murals, oversized coloring books, glass blowing workshops and more, we’ve had it all. Or have we? Let us know your creative outlet and how you want to share it with everyone else! (Unless you plan to host over 40 people to this workshop, plan to host it in the SOULounge where most art projects are created!)
