TENTATIVE SCHEDULE:
There is still plenty of FREE SPACE for you to do whatever you feel called to do, whether it be DJing a set, playing live music, running an improv contact dance session, spreading out paper on the floor and tracing people's silhouettes... It is truly up to you! Just please let either PanDoor or Ilsa know what you would like to do and when, and we can put it on the schedule.

ADOPT AN ARTIST: KID EVENT
Children are blessed with unfettered imaginations, but the one thing kids don't usually have is the motor control or skill to bring their visions to life. As adult artists, we may have wild imaginations but we sometimes need a fresh perspective to break out of our boxes. This playshop is a creativity exercise for adults, and for children a chance to direct a collaborative art project. Artists, put yourselves up for adoption! Kids will each pick one artist to help them acheive a vision, using the artists' skills (and supplies).
Saturday, 1pm:
Lunch Potluck
Saturday, 2pm:
Lifeline Drawing Workshop with PanDoor
This workshop involves visually expressing your personal timeline (past, present, and future(s)), with an emphasis on significant event that affected your evolution. Afterwards, we will share our timelines with other participants. Bring paper and drawing tools if you can.
Saturday, 4-5pm:
Kundalini Yoga workshop with Melanie
Saturday, 5-6:30pm:
Altar: The Game!
Help Ilsa figure out how to turn altar making and vibrational design into a puzzle game. Bring some fun altar items to use as examples. This is a game Ilsa hopes to launch at Transformus and/or Burning Man. Should be right up your alley, Ashevillains!
