Our Events

We host and collaborate on events, dances, workshops, meals, and other opportunities to find human connection. We aim to be off our screens, in shared space and real time as much and as often as possible. We are curious about rhythms, funny questions, the circus, and the return to the wonder and possibility of childhood. Since 2021 we have hosted a winter solstice gathering, The Longest Night, to celebrate the return of the light and ward off the loneliness of the darkest days of winter. 

In 2026 we created The Longest Day, a 24-hour multidisciplinary summer solstice festival, intentionally weaving together music, performance art, installations, workshops, camping out, and shared meals.

Throughout the year you’ll find us hosting other chances to gather for the everyday and still spectacular experience of being together, in this moment that happens only once.

Land Acknowledgement

Our work is held on S,ḴŦAḴ. S,ḴŦAḴ is the SENĆOŦEN word for 'pass' or 'narrows', and the WSÁNEĆ place name for the island later called Mayne. This area is the traditional territory of the W̱SÁNEĆ people, who have a rich artistic and traditional culture connected to this place. We extend our thanks and gratitude to them, and acknowledge the privilege of enjoying this beautiful place in their territory.
