DAY OF BEING

is a simple idea

It’s a day where people come together to slow down, spend time outside, listen to stories and music, move a little, rest a little, and remember what it feels like to just be human again.

It’s not a workshop.

It’s not a show.

It’s not a conference.

There’s nothing to figure out and nothing to get right.

Come as you are. Stay as long as you want. Leave when you’re ready.

WHY THIS

Day Matters

Most of us live in a constant state of doing. Even our “healing” and “growth” start to feel like more work.

This day exists as a pause.

A chance to breathe.

To let the body settle.

To be around other people without having to explain yourself.

Before we try to fix anything or become something new, we need space to remember how to be comfortable in our own skin again.

That’s what this day is for.

HOW THE

day unfolds

There’s no tight schedule. The day moves at a natural pace.

You’ll hear music.

You’ll hear stories.

You’ll see movement and ceremony shared in a respectful way, rooted in living traditions.

At the center of the gathering is a Native Hope Storyteller who carries ancestral stories meant to be felt more than analyzed. These stories don’t ask you to believe anything. They invite you to listen in a different way.

Take in what resonates. Let the rest go.

What You'll Find Here:

Time to Arrive

Food trucks, shaded areas, and open space to sit, eat, rest, and connect at your own pace.

Quiet and Sound

Guided meditation and singing bowls to help the body relax and the mind slow down.

Live Music

Flute and acoustic music woven into the day without overpowering it.

Movement and Dance

Traditional dancers and singers share movement as a form of memory and expression.

Storytelling

Stories that place our individual lives inside a larger human story… one connected to land, lineage, and time.

A Shared Moment

Later in the day, there’s a simple collective experience that brings everyone together in stillness and focus.

Joy and Celebration

As evening comes, the mood naturally shifts into music, movement, and lightness. Nothing forced. Just human joy.

NOTHING

Required

You don’t have to be present for everything.

You don’t have to understand every part of the day.

You don’t have to stay the whole time.

Some people come to rest.

Some come to reflect.

Some just want to be around others for a while.

All of that is welcome.

One Last Thing

For some, this day is complete exactly as it is.

For others, it may open a quiet curiosity about going a little deeper. If that happens, there’s an optional, invitation-based experience called Return to Being, offered separately.

No pressure. No expectations. You’ll know if it’s for you.
