Workshop at Kaleidoscope
-
@ Kaleidoscope
Be the Change: It has been a deeply challenging year for many of us; energetically, emotionally, and spiritually. In this mindful, hands-on workshop, we will gather in community to intentionally create tokens infused with meaning, emotion, and presence. Through color, symbol, and heartfelt messages, each token becomes a vessel for kindness, healing, and connection. Once your token is complete, you’ll be gently guided to release it as a gift to someone at the festival or during the main ritual—whether a new soul you encounter, someone walking through difficulty, or a person your intuition draws you toward. No artistic experience is required—only an open heart, mindful intention, and a willingness to serve as a channel of compassion, one token at a time.
