Connection Concert • Saturday, Feb 7th • 2-7pm
February is often the most challenging month, weather-wise, for me in Minnesota; this year it's been amplified by all that's going on... So let's gather and care and co-regulate together!
What Are Connection Concerts? Connection Concerts are consent-based, embodiment-focused, playful music and community-healing events—a hybrid workshop & concert!
First-timers often say this is their FAVORITE event and leave lit up with joy and energy. We all need platonic connection, music, play, care, and community—and Connection Concerts create exactly that.
The Flow:- 2pm Arrival: Doors close at 2:30 PM for our container.
- 3pm Embodiment & Circle: Guided movement and circle to drop in.
- 4pm Nurture Pods: Practice giving and receiving care in a consent-based space.
- 5pm Concert & Cuddling: Music and storytelling by Katie Strand, then open mic.
- 6-7pm Harvesting, Closing & Blessing.
You'll experience authentic sharing, dancing, music, consent practices, optional touch/cuddling, song circles, storytelling by Katie Strand, and open mic for participants to share poetry, music, or movement. All participation is optional—tune into your inner compass!
