BEYOND THE CRYSTAL DOME - a post-apocalyptic dance party and FUNraiser!

For as long as we can remember, there has been The Hunger... a force that invades our minds, interfering with our ability to connect with one another.  The product of a failed experiment? Or intentionally unleashed?... Society has crumbled as we have lost our ability to work together.

Meanwhile in East Van... a small community has unearthed crystals that can counteract this force. But the crystals must be regularly recharged... Almost depleted, the community must gather to dance and connect with one another, to once again charge the crystals that have protected them for so long...

Join the Intention Crew and Shadow Puppet Productions for a night of epic, soul-reviving dancing, and juicy community connection!

•^v^– WHAT TO WEAR? –^v^•

We love to see you expressing yourself! Feel free to show up in themed costumes, or not.  Post-apocalyptic, dystopian, futuristic tribal, Mad Max and everything in between (or completely different) are all welcome. As always at Intention Gathering events, costumes are not mandatory and people are welcome to attend wearing whatever they want!

•^v^– CONNECTION ZONES –^v^•

We love to dance, and we also love to hang-out! Lots of ploungey spaces to rest your dancing feet!

•^v^– SILENT AUCTION –^v^•

We will have various goods, services and surprises for auction, so please bring cash! All proceeds go to Intention’s subsidy fund for Winter Intention.

•^v^– CONSENT –^v^•

Intention consciously fosters a culture of consent. We want everyone to feel comfortable and respected at our events. If you’re unsure about an interaction or unsure if you have consent, please remember to ask first. Remember, only an ongoing positive, enthusiastic response means Yes! If someone is being non-consensual, please contact one of the many volunteers at the event.

•^v^– SHADOW PUPPET PRODUCTIONS –^v^•

Shadow Puppet Productions is the crew that brought you the Vampire Ball, A Very Bowie Birthday, the Shadow Puppet Pavilion at Burn in the Forest and Dustcovery, and Breadcrumbs and Bass (in conjunction with Intention Gathering). We've joined together with Intention Gathering again, to bring you sound, visuals and decor!

•^v^– ABOUT INTENTION –^v^•

Intention was born leading up to New Years of 2000, as a gathering to celebrate the ‘end of the world’ with loved friends, family, electronic music, workshops, and ritual. Intention now puts on regular multi-day gatherings, one-night fundraisers, and regular potlucks; and maintains a supportive community e-mail list. 

This FUNraiser has been created to raise awareness of and get people excited for our summer gathering happening from June 30th to July 3rd AND to raise money for the low income subsidy offered at Winter Intention to participants who could not otherwise attend. For more information on Summer Intention, please go to intentiongathering.org .

Intention is co-created and community driven. Everyone who wants to get involved in organizing is welcome. We’d love for you to be involved! Please e-mail info[at]intentiongathering[dot]org .

 

Earlier in the evening we will have a by-donation family dance and yoga workshop:

Children of the Dome: Intention Family Yoga and Dance Party!

Calling all kids, parents, families! This event is for you!

Before our main FUNraiser, Beyond the Crystal Dome, we are pleased to host a family yoga class by Lindsay Starbird and a family dance with Praxis!

By donation!

Family Yoga at 6:00pm
Kid-focused dance 7pm-8:30pm

Join Lindsay Starbird for one creative, fun filled hour of family yoga. We'll play and stretch, make believe and laugh. Activities include a yoga adventure story, yoga games (with parachute!), and guided imagery meditation. Kids of all ages welcome! Costumes encouraged.

Praxis says: "I'll be throwing down some dope beats on May 20 ... for the Kid's Dance Party at Beyond the Crystal Dome. Sweet! I like mixing classic kid's tracks with dubstep remixes of songs from shows like Scooby Doo, Ninja Turtles and The Muppets. Tell your friends who have kids to come out because it's going to be tonnes of fun."

**PARENTAL ALERT:
We will likely still be setting up for the FUNraiser while this is happening. For this particular theme, some of the decor is fragile and/or sharp (such as crystals, junkyard scraps, old electronics, etc.) In order to avoid any decor getting damaged or any kids getting injured, please supervise your children, and be on alert for any potential hazards (and bring them to our attention). Thank you!!**
