Workshops
Astro Herbalism
Join medical herbalist and hermetic practitioner Lux for a journey through the cosmos and the terrestrial treasures. Astroherbalism is a practice that is thousands of years old, joining the arts of astrology and herbalism. Using the concept of “as above, so below” we see how the cosmological patterns mirror the patterns in nature. Learn about the planets, zodiac signs and their corresponding plants. We will also touch on how to use this practice for your own astrology chart to balance your mind / body / spirit.
Lux (they/them) is a medically trained herbalist, medicine maker, ritualist and hermetic practitioner. Their passion for plants and nature has been present since childhood; ultimately leading them to study medicine, entheogens, and ceremonial arts. Over the last decade Lux has immersed themselves in mystery school studies and created a bridge between the scientific and spiritual practices. Lux specializes in menstrual care, womb healing, mental health and digestive disorders. You can also find them hosting classes and ceremonies in the community, it is one of their greatest joys to come together in healing and celebration. In their down time you can find them enjoying nature, hot springs and finding more ways to create beauty in the world.
Becoming E(art)h and Tiny Tree Totems
Danielle will be roving for 1 to 1 mini wellbeing connections, and leads two themed workshops too, at both our Riverside and Crafter’s Collective Gazebos locations. In Tiny Tree Totems, participants walk and talk, and do a rubbing of bark with crayons on paper. Guests share observations and reflections, then embellish their rubbing as a souvenir of their Shambhala experience. Becoming E(art)h is where you’ll create art from the natural elements on the farm, and consider how you too leave your mark on the world (physically, emotionally, energetically). A mandala-like group-devised nature collage will be created…and then it goes back to the earth.
Church Of Central Raving
Start your Shambhala off right and join us for the raviest church service on the planet!
At C.O.C.R. We share practical tips to help you party smarter, dole out ancient rave wisdom and play dope music from every genre. This wildly irreverent and randomly fun “church service” is meant for everyone: first timers and festival fiends alike. It is designed in a format that is friendly for those of us with very limited attention spans. The service includes variety show type performances, hilarious comedy bits and rave oriented sermons mixed with soulful sounds and all the best beats.
The sweetest part of this wacky workshop is that THERE ARE NO RULES! You can do whatever you want, as long as you do it with love: come and go as you please, join in and dance your ass off, share your own inspirations or just stand back and observe the hilarity and chaos that ensues.
All Praise the Rave!

Live Painters
Adam One
Performing at The Grove Stage
Adam One’s paintings derive from a deep understanding of form and function, and an active interest in the questions of human existence through spiritual evolution. His pieces are born from the subconscious and are extremely chaotic amalgamations of archetypal subjects and stories. Meant to be ever changing and revealing, his pieces beckon one’s mind to question the world around, and to look at everything with a new perspective. Philosophically and Spiritually, Adam finds inspiration in the symbols of Theosophy, Cosmogony, Alchemy, Hermeticism and Gnosticism. It is from this groundwork that he constructs his own view of the cosmos, working ancient concepts into future imaginings.
Danielle Caners
Danielle Caners is the pilot of a magnificent space shuttle bringing you on a journey to the depths of the earth, far into the cosmos and back to the core of your being. Her art is the synthesis of an untameable thirst to learn, create, and grow.

Danielle’s global reputation is a testament to the power of what she brings. She stands at the fulcrum of art, education and healing; guiding us to self-actualization.
Specializing in drawing and painting, Caners has grown into an inspirational speaker, giving workshops and producing books, videos and beyond. Danielle’s artistic skills continue to adapt and expand into traditional painting methods, digital art, augmented reality and alternative means of story telling.
The many projects she’s contributed to include Myco Wisdom, an art and education project introducing people into the world of fungi, Prosthetic Reality, the first Augmented Reality art book (featured in VICE news and CNET), mural commissions and curating The Antipodes Project with over thirty international contributors (featured in Juxtapoz and White Hot magazines).
