Welcome to the Spring
Frolic in the Forest!
March 20th-22nd, 2026

We’re SO EXCITED to share this very special event with you and look forward to having you all grow with us as we continue down the forest path together! Frolic in the Forest is a co-created weekend of play, art, music, healing arts, and more for grown-ups who are kids at heart. The magic of this event is created by every person who attends, and every offering you bring is an experience we share.

Some of the staple Frolic events you can
look forward to are:

Poetry Salon

Bring your original poetry to read or pick poems by your favorite poet to share. 

THE Forest Parade

Think Where the Wild Things Are as we march in time to the beats of our own drums and into the forest. Wear a costume and let your inner child run wild!!

Arts and Crafts

In true Frolic fashion, we will have an arts and crafts area set up for you to explore your creative side. Unlock your imagination and childlike wonder, and create, create, create!!  Bring a blank shirt to stencil at the Frolic T-shirt making station, and take home a memory of your frolic!

​

Fire and Flow Arts

Healing Arts

Fire and Flow Camp will bring a fire show (weather permitting) and flow arts and fire dance classes. 

Reiki, Reflexology, Palmestry, and beyond. We welcome any body or energy workers who wish to contribute to the healing of all frolickers and offer their skills to the collective.

Late-Night Jams

Sound Church

Bring an instrument, bring your ears, and your sweet singing voice and join in on the magical musical jam around the fire pit.

Exploratory and inclusive vibrational sound play (think gongs, chimes, tongue drums, singing bowls, and more!) where you get to collaborate and explore vibrations created by you and others. Rotating myriad of unique instruments available, but please feel free to bring your own!

Gifting Table

Leave a gift, take a gift. Bring something cool you’re ready to pass along and leave it on the table for another. See something cool? Take it for yourself!

We look forward to seeing what you all will be contributing to this joyful occasion!
