Activating Abundant Altruism
We are super excited to be back in 2025 after taking a sabbatical year to let our site heal and make upgrades to all our operations and projects.
2025’s Something Different Collaboration Gatherings ceremonies and celebrations will focus on revamping and rebooting as we regain momentum. As we hype the tribes and engage with our colossal creative community in preparation for the 2025 Collaboration Gathering, we will activate the incredible power of altruistic energy within our community. The fully immersive environment and musical adventure that we create for you will reactivate your creativity and your sense of community and belonging, a surge in passion for the epic things we create together will be reignited.
With the health of our community and the well-being of every person within it, at the heart of everything we do. We will activate a chain reaction of altruistic actions. This chain of actions will raise everyone’s feel-good energy frequencies. Those feel good frequencies will radiate outwards like a Mexican wave of positivity and creativity energy. Carried forward and amplified by each person that gives to it. Engulfing our community in a cloud of sparkly and abundant altruistic energy.
We hope you will join us as we gather the tribes for this epic collaboration gathering and a celebration of the power within us all, to do good things for others.
