Summer Intention 2025

Summer Intention will be happening this year! It will be a back-to-the-basics, intimate event for around 50 people due to having a small number of organizers.
Summer Intention is a four-day, three-night event where a village of all ages comes together to celebrate, share, workshop, perform, dance, play, heal, connect, share meals, and have fun. Intention is a time and space for being authentically ourselves in a dynamic, loving and inspirational community setting.

Here’s the plan:
WHERE: Crystal Creek
WHEN: Saturday June 28 to Tuesday July 1

Summer Intention registration opens on May 15 at 7:00 pm.

Adult tickets - $120
Youth (age 13-17) - $80
Children (12 and under) - free

You can look forward to:
- a sound system, DJs and a VJ
- opening and closing circles
The org team will facilitate volunteers for first aid and Leave No Trace.
The community will co-create workshops, passion show and decor. Watch for call-outs and collaboration invitations closer to the event.
Some meals may be potluck style to still be able to share meals together.

LOCATION
Crystal Creek is a beautiful, private venue near Roberts Creek on the Sunshine Coast. It's a 20-minute drive from the ferry. Directions will be sent to registrants before the event.
Most ferry reservations for the long weekend have already been booked. However, reservations are usually not required. When you arrive at the ferry terminal, you can usually get onto the next ferry or the one after that.
Need a ride, or have one to offer? The rideshare spreadsheet is at https://docs.google.com/.../1wXduIwwjhubH7UxNsvhy.../edit....
Unfortunately, the location is not wheelchair friendly (a couple of short but steep gravel roads, no wheelchair-accessible washrooms) but other mobility issues may not be problematic. Contact info[at]intentiongathering[dot]org if you have concerns or questions.
This event takes place on the traditional, unceded, and illegally occupied territory of the Coast Salish peoples, including the shíshálh (Sechelt) Nation. We have tremendous gratitude for this land and everything that it provides, and invite awareness and consideration of how and why the people of the nation of Canada have access to all of its beauty and abundance. We always strive to leave no trace and to protect the land where we gather.

*******************
CONSENT
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! When consent is respected, we feel more free to be fully ourselves.

****************
CO-CREATION
Co-creation is a core value of Intention, inspired by our connection to Burning Man and other similar communities.
Everyone is encouraged to find their own way to connect into the festival flow and become involved in the daily life, music, and general production of the event.

Intention is co-created and participant-driven. We share our personal gifts and learn from the community. It is an opportunity to work together with old and new friends to create a safe container for a rich exploration of people, places, music, art, self-expression, and creativity.

We are always looking for volunteers to help with organizing and creating events. If you would like to be involved in the organization process, please contact the org team at info[at]intentiongathering[dot]org .
