Non-Profit Partner
We are very excited to highlight an important part of the festival – we have partnered with an amazing non-profit called the Constructive Plant Rescue (CPR). CPR has a great mission- to increase the number of natives being utilized in landscapes. Right now, they do this by getting permission to go into areas that are about to be clear cut for development and rescue as many natives from the land as they can. They have a team of over 200 volunteers who work to scout, rescue, and transplant these precious babies. At each rescue event, volunteers are educated about the importance of natives, the issues with invasives and learn to identify each- all while making new friends! They also have future plans to go into marginalized communities and educate on these topics and help to set up native gardens. If you would like to get involved- check them out here: https://constructiveplantrescue.org/
CPR will be teaching our Native Plants class on Saturday, as well as having a plant sale! ALL proceeds from their sale go directly to funding their mission and their future plans. We are so excited to have them join us. Let’s show them our support!

Whether you're already fostering community or just starting out, this class is for anyone who wants to cultivate stronger local ties by identifying your personal need for community and what (if anything) holds you back !!

5pm: Rest as Resistance with Mandi Murrow
A Nervous System Reset for Reclaiming Energy, Worth, and Wholeness: In a world that glorifies productivity and burnout, choosing to rest is a radical act of self-respect. In this deeply nourishing session, we’ll explore how intentional rest can be a tool for nervous system regulation, hormonal balance, and emotional healing. We’ll begin with grounding breathwork to shift out of fight-or-flight and into calm presence. From there, we’ll move into gentle somatic movement and supported deep stretches to release stored tension. You’ll then be guided into restorative stillness, followed by a hypno-breathwork journey to help rewire patterns of overgiving, depletion, and stress. This class is an invitation to soften, receive, and remember that you are worthy—just as you are, without needing to “do” more. Come as you are, and leave deeply rooted in rest, resilience, and your own inner wisdom.

6pm: Adulthood Reimagined with Dilan Sahin Baluch
This class is about understanding and overcoming limiting beliefs — those unconscious mental restrictions that hold us back from realizing our true potential. I will explain how these beliefs are shaped by our past experiences, cultural norms, and conditioning, and then offer a process for identifying them. I will also introduce tools like Byron Katie’s The Work and reflective exercises to challenge and transform these beliefs within a compassionate, self-aware space. Ultimately, my goal is to help people recognize the invisible barriers they’ve built and begin stepping beyond them.
