Rendezvous with Madness & The Gathering

SHINE ; TOGETHER

This interactive, 2-hour virtual workshop offers a space to share what has been arising for us during the festival and explore how this year’s festival theme, Shine ; Together, shows up in our lives.

Shine ; Together as a theme invites us to shine a light on our narratives surrounding mental health, addictions and recovery. Through creative expression we shine a light making room for complexities and nuances; in gathering as a community, we hope to create an alliance by healing together. 

The hosts and co-creators of The Gathering, Katt Topolniski, Ellen Snowball Alys McLeod and Petra Dolman will hold the space and gently guide the conversation.

They will open and close the event with simple somatic embodiment practices to support our presence in the shared space and grounding as we depart.

The Gathering explores healing within community through lightly structured and gently guided conversations in a community-led, virtual space.

Recognizing our relational nature, The Gathering nurtures individual growth and collective healing through connection and sharing, weaving together participants’ experiences, stories, and wisdom.

Somatic embodiment practices are integrated into The Gathering, ensuring emotional safety while fostering an environment for sharing, reflecting, deep listening, and meaningful connections.

Co-creators and hosts of The Gathering: Katt Topolniski, Ellen Snowball, Alys McLeod, and Petra Dolman.
