SUMMARY:Marketing for Hippies 101
DESCRIPTION:This is a pay-what-you-can\, day-long workshop where you can learn the marketing secrets of North America’s most successful green\, holistic\, community-minded entrepreneurs to attract more of the clients you want (without ever sacrificing your integrity or spending a fortune). \nMarketing can feel good. \nThat’s the premise of this workshop. \nSince 2001\, I have traveled around North America working with conscious entrepreneurs just like you. Some successful\, others struggling. And I’ve gathered quite the assortment of success stories and strategies right from the horses’ mouths.\nThis workshop is my best distillation and collection of those practices and stories. \nMy name is Tad Hargrave and I want to invite you to come and join us for this day-long workshop. \n  \n\nPRICE & REGISTRATION OPTIONS:\n$25 deposit + Pay What You Want at the End.\nWhat does this mean? You pay $25 to secure your spot. And then you get to enjoy the workshop and\, at the very end\, you can pay me whatever you’d like to pay. Were I to charge full price you’d pay $200 for this workshop but I also want to keep it accessible to those who can’t afford that amount. Plus\, the workshop might be more valuable to some than others and why should you both pay the same amount? It’s an honest-to-goodness\, decide-at-the-end\, no funny business\, pay-what-you-can/want deal. \nOR:\nI’ve made an option for you to pay 3 installments of $67. If you’d like to pay the full market value of this workshop but want to spread those payments out\, choose the 3-pay option! You’ll be charged $67 now\, and then you’ll receive an invoice from my PayPal account for 2 more payments of $67 in each of the following two months. \nOR:\nI’ve also added the option to simply pay a flat $200 market value fee for the workshop upfront. If that feels good and convenient for you\, please choose this option. It’s something that’s been requested a number of times so I’m trying it out\, but either way is fine by me. \n  \n\nWORKSHOP DETAILS\nThis is a day-long\, content-rich\, roll-up your sleeves\, nuts and bolts workshop. It’s all about how you can grow your business and attract all of the right kinds of clients. \nIn general\, here’s who this workshop is for: \nPerhaps you are selling a natural\, eco-friendly\, cruelty-free or otherwise healthy product. \nOr maybe you’re in the Healing Arts or a Holistic Practitioner? Perhaps you’re a Therapist\, Massage Therapist or Body-worker\, Yoga Instructor\, Herbalist\, Shamanic Practitioner\, Life-Coach\, Meditation Teacher etc. \nAre you a local business owner who just plain cares deeply about your community\, nature and social justice? Maybe you run a Yoga Studio\, Eco-Friendly House Cleaning company\, an Organic Farm\, a local Theatre Company\, a Fitness Studio\, a comfy\, little locally owned Bookstore\, a groovy local Restaurant\, an Eco-Store\, a Pottery shop or a Natural Health-Food Stores etc. \nOr you might be running some sort of permaculture-based business. \nAt its heart\, this workshop is all about exploring the question:\n“How can you sell your products and services without selling your soul?” \nToo much marketing (even by savvy\, conscious entrepreneurs) creates either no response or seems “over-hyped” and triggers a “used car salesman” reaction. \nSo . . .\nHow do you market your products without compromising your principles? How can you make sure your marketing gets a positive response and creates warm feelings of trust? Better yet – how do you have your ideal client approaching you\, instead of you chasing them? \nWhile mingling with like-minded peers\, you’ll learn: \nThe Three Core Foundations and Seven Elements of Your Platform that you need to attract more – and better – clients\, with absolutely zero budget. \nThe core reason why most marketing feels bad (and exactly how to make sure that your marketing avoids it). \nThe only three kinds of potential clients you will ever meet\, and the exact approach you need to take with each of them. \nWhat to Bring:\n– Pen and paper.\n– Money: your cheque book\, cash or credit card (I am also happy to accept a promissory note from you so you can pay me via PayPal or etransfer when you get home). \nA reminder about cell phones:\nPlease remember to put your phone on silent or even turn it right off. I encourage you to make the effort to really be present in the room and at the workshop. There will be a nice long lunch break and a couple of stretch breaks to check for updates if you need to! \nWhat does the day look like?\n10:00am-1:00pm – workshop\n1:00-2:30pm – lunch\n2:30-6:00pm – workshop \nSo\, that’s it. If you have any questions\, feel free to email me at admin@marketingforhippies.com otherwise I hope to see you there. \nWarmest\,\nTad Hargrave\nfounder\, marketingforhippies.com\, nichingspiral.com \n  \n\nPS: BONUS!\nWhen you register for one of these workshops you’ll get a copy of my new book How to Start\, which sells for $20 in my online shop. This book is a practical and refreshing\, seven-step workbook to use when marketing feels gross and awkward (you can do it all in one lazy\, rainy afternoon and you’ll use it for the rest of the life of your business).\nHow to Start is a tiny workbook about a little idea that could make a big difference in every piece of marketing you ever do from here on. Here’s the little idea: what if you made the heart of your marketing strategy about how your marketing feels to you and others? \n\nAbout Tad Hargrave\nTad is a hippy who developed a knack for marketing (and then learned how to be a hippy again.) For almost a decade\, he has been touring his marketing workshops around Canada\, bringing refreshing and unorthodox ideas to conscious entrepreneurs and green businesses that help them grow their organizations and businesses (without selling their souls).\nHe does improv comedy semi-professionally\, co-runs Edmonton’s progressive community building network TheLocalGood.ca\, founded streetcarshows.com\, indigodrinks.ca\, socialyogiyeg.com\, and the Jams program of yesworld.org. He speaks Scottish Gaelic and helps to run novascotiagaelsjam.com and is also a huge Doctor Who nerd. \nTad currently lives in Edmonton\, Alberta (traditionally known\, in the local indigenous language of the Cree\, as Amiskwaciy (Beaver Hill) and later Amiskwaciwaskihegan (Beaver Hill House) and his ancestors come primarily from Scotland with some from the Ukraine as well. He is drawn to conversations around politics\, history\, ancestry\, healing and how those all intersect.\nYou can learn more about Tad and his work at marketingforhippies.com\, nichingspiral.com \n  \n\nCan’t make it?\nCheck out:\nMarketing for Hippies Video and Workbook

SUMMARY:Leap Day Holotropic Breathwork
DESCRIPTION:Take a Leap on Leap Day!\nGrof Holotropic BreathworkTM uses Breath as Sacred Medicine to evoke non-ordinary states of consciousness for self-discovery and healing using accelerated breathing to an exquisite soundscape. Dr Stan Grof and the late Christina Grof pioneered this approach starting in the 1970s when research into the healing potential of non ordinary states with psychedelic medicines was stopped. Although Holotropic Breathwork is similar to the use of some sacred and psychedelic medicines it is a substance-free and natural approach to expanding consciousness and integrating mind\, body and spirit. A session follows the basic set and setting of a psychedelic session and therefore is part of the training of psychedelic psychotherapists. \n\nPreregister Here\nhttp://www.thesecretofbreath.com/workshops-all \nSunset Lab provides an amazing facility in the heart of the city yet private with a professional sound system! Doors open at 8:45 am for a 9 am start. Finish is approximately 7 pm. Light meals included in $140 early bird price. \n\nMore info on Holotropic Breathwork is available at this link:\nhttp://www.thesecretofbreath.com/workshops-all

SUMMARY:GIFT Film Screening
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a screening of the breathtaking and richly cinematic documentary THE GIFT\, followed by a Q&A session with award winning Filmmaker Robin McKenna\, who will be joining us LIVE via Skype to answer your questions.  \n“Robin McKenna’s elliptical\, poetic\, and visually arresting “Gift” examines the radical concept that creativity is not a commodity to be sold but a blessing to be shared.”\n-Peter Keogh\, The Boston Globe \nWATCH THE TRAILER: \n \nGIFT-Trailer from Gaudete Films on Vimeo. \n\nEVENT DETAILS:\nDoors: 6:30pm\nFilm: 7pm-8:30pm\nQ&A w Director: 8:30-9:00pm\nPrice: Pay What Feels Good\nTickets available at the door. \n\nABOUT THE GIFT\nInspired by Lewis Hyde’s beloved classic The Gift: Creativity and the Artist in the Modern World\, GIFT is a richly cinematic film\, interweaving character-driven stories. On North America’s Pacific Northwest Coast\, a young Indigenous man undertakes the elaborate preparations for a potlatch—to make a name for himself by giving everything away. In Rome\, Italy\, a factory occupied by migrant families is transformed into a living museum\, protected by a “barricade of art”: a model of resistance\, and an invaluable gift. In the pirate utopia of Burning Man\, a mutant bumblebee art car distributes honey in a post-­apocalyptic desert landscape. Meanwhile\, in Auckland\, New Zealand\, artist Mingwei Lee prepares to launch Sonic Blossom – a “transformative gift” of song. GIFT is a tribute to something that can’t be measured or counted\, bought or sold. Exploring the parallels between artists’ work and a gift economy\, it’s a reflection on the creative process\, the reasons we “labour in service of our gifts”\, and a celebration of the imagination. \nABOUT ROBIN MCKENNA \nRobin McKenna began making films with La Course destination monde. Her film\, The Great War Experience won Yorkton Film Festival’s Founders’ Award in 2007. Her cinematography credits include City of Borders (Berlinale\, HotDocs 2008) and The Take with Naomi Klein and Avi Lewis (AFI Best Documentary\, 2004). She is an alumnus of Hot Docs Doc Lab\, and has been a filmmaker-mentor with Wapikoni Mobile. GIFT is Robin’s first feature documentary. Currently\, she is direction a short film with the National Film Board for the Governor General’s Award for the Performing Arts and finishing Thanadoula\, a short documentary fairytale about a girl’s search for her older sister and the “crow magic” connecting them. She is a producer/co-director of Medicine\, a feature documentary in post-production about ayahuasca\, medicine and healing. \n\nPRAISE FOR THE GIFT! \n“Thank you for this magisterial film\, subtle as it is on the revolutionary nature of art and the power forged when we honor our gifts and give them away. A dream\, a meditation\, a call to action.\n-Terry Tempest Williams\, author & environmentalist \n“At a time when art is relentlessly commercialized and commodified\, Robin McKenna’s “Gift” provides a gentle and welcome reminder of other values.”\n-A.O. Scott\, The New York Times \n“A beautiful\, moving\, and thought-provoking reflection on the creative process and the things that make us human.”\n-Jonathan Lethem\, novelist \n“GIFT presents us with a rare opportunity to escape the relentless logic of the market and to reclaim a little bit of our human freedom.”\n-Le Devoir \n“GIFT is a poetic outlook on gift economies through art and cultural practices. It follows four storylines linked by creativity\, generosity\, resistance and defiance.”\n-Phi Centre \n“As we witnessed the transformative power of this gift\, our eyes filled with tears. This kind of art cannot be measured or counted; it is priceless. It travels from heart to heart and keeps on moving.”\n-Spirituality and Practice

SUMMARY:On the Cusp 2020
DESCRIPTION:The Eternal Dance of Capricorn & Aquarius\nThe end of one cycle\, the beginning of a new. As Capricorn gives way to Aquarius\, we come together as a beautiful community to celebrate transition\, transformation and triumph. To be here\, alive\, and given the opportunity to move in unity as the stars whisper tales to us of a new and bright future… heaven. And while some navigate by stars… others by compass… others by google… this night\, we together navigate by DANCE\, and we do so held in the ridiculous talent of tonight’s artistic contributors\, and in the warm glow of the unveiling of a reimagined Sunset Labs. 🙂 We hope you’ll join us!\n♥  ♥  ♥  \n  \nMUSICAL CONTRIBUTIONS FROM \nOcian Flo \nhttps://www.facebook.com/SoundSeedMedicineJourneys/\nOcian is an energy artist\, visionary\, community builder\, and spiritual activist working with groups and individuals to create and share experiences that build a conscious\, self-empowered\, intentional community.

With Ali on the decks and Chris adding layers of percussion and didgeridoo\, this live+electronic music fusion inspires connection between the dancers and the music. \nRara Avis \n https://www.raraavismusic.com\nKnown in the music world as Rara Avis (n. latin for Rare Bird)\, Alex King-Harris is a dedicated master of his craft with over 20 years experience in multi-instrumental live performance and music production with a core focus on where the electronic underground\, yoga and ecstatic dance movements collide. He delivers musical performances that are a mixture of guitar\, vocals\, flute\, didgeridoo and dj techniques that combine pre-produced original studio music with live electronic elements to create a truly original\, shamanic\, heart felt transmission of music for embodiment. Whether it be in a yoga class\, on an ecstatic dance floor or at a festival – Rara’s sounds are guaranteed to take you on a journey of blissful re-entry into the soul. \nSpice Traders\n https://soundcloud.com/spicetradersmusic\nThe inescapable evolution of our beloved Kaminanda\, Spice Traders is the newest most beauteous creative expression of Stephen Medeiros… which he introduces to us as “Deep\, Slow Spacious Tribal House and Downtempo with a plethora of musicians and instruments”.

Whether you’re a believer or not\, with the speakers as his chorus\, you will be moved by the voice of Dodd… \nADDITIONAL CONTRIBUTIONS FROM!\nOPENING CIRCLE!\nWe are crafting a really special welcome for this event… not ONLY because of the transition from Capricorn to Aquarius… not ONLY because it’s the debut of a transformed Sunset Labs… not ONLY because it’s the beginning of a whole new decade… not even ONLY because there’s some birthday folks in the house… but because YOU’RE coming\, and we’ll be together\, and we could all use just a bit more ceremony in our lives.

SUMMARY:Song of the Ancients Vocal Workshop
DESCRIPTION:SONG OF THE ANCIENTS\nVocal workshop with Peia\nEach one of us is gifted with a uniquely beautiful voice. Open to the transcendental sound within you guided by the wisdom and expertise of Archival Songstress Peia Luzzi. Through an embodied practice\, rooted in the breath you will learn: healthy body alignment for optimal sound production\, how to ground and harness the of power of the breath from your deep core\, how to tap into the natural resonance of your voice. \nWorking with tools from the ancient Indian alchemy of Raga we will enter a meditative practice known as “The Yoga of Sound.” We gain deeper understanding of the physical inner-workings of the voice from Vocal Pedagogy and learn to sing with grace\, power\, flexibility and ease. This workshop is beneficial for singers on all stages of the journey\, from very beginner to advanced. \nThe First part of this workshop will focus on vocal embodiment and cultivation tools\, and the second part we’ll be learning a song from one of the many lineages that Peia is carrying.\n  \nMy journey with world folksong traditions began many years ago while studying at New England Conservatory in Boston. Much to the dismay of my Opera professors\, I found myself enthralled with the alluring beauty and mystery of traditional folk music. This fascination\, along with a bit of old Irish wanderlust\, poised me for a journey that led me to seek a lost culture and reconnect with the songs of my ancestors in ancient Europe. – Peia \nLearn more about Peia and her work: WWW.PEIASONG.COM\n$40 per person\, via  Paypal OR:\netransfer to payments@sunsetlabs.ca\nWe have some limited-means-tickets…\nif money is snug\, contact us. Magic may happen. 🙂\n \n

SUMMARY:The Beatin' Stick: Old European Thoughts on Restorative Justice
DESCRIPTION:How do we deal with harm and hurt in our communities?\nThis seems to be a question on many of our minds these days. \nOr you’ve seen it in the broader culture around you and certainly on Facebook – the divisiveness\, the polarization\, the meanness and the piling on. And this is amongst ‘the good guys’. It’s easy to lose hope that we’ll ever get anywhere. \nIgnoring it doesn’t work. \nBut many have begun to wonder if the call outs and cancellings\, the shamings and shunnings work any better in the end. Much of it feels ‘off’ somehow but there’s a fear of voicing this lest we are next. \nAt the heart of this fear that so many live with is a sort of cultural worshiping at the altar or the one true god of punitive justice – justice by punishment. The contagion of this seems to have been blown by the growing winds of our time to the left and to the right equally. \nBut there is another form of justice – deeply rooted in many traditional cultures from around the world. It is often spoken of as restorative justice or transformative justice. It’s an approach to dealing with the very real troubles and travails\, harms and harrowings that happen in our homes and communities that centers the healing and wholeness of the community. \nIn this evening\, you’ll be hearing an old Scottish Traveler’s tale ‘The Beatin’ Stick’ which will act\, if all goes well\, as a hospitable host to welcome us in and sit us down by the hearth and help us see something of what might be done about the madness and manias that\, so often\, tear our communities apart. Other stories likely to appear are ‘The King’s Foal’ and ‘The King’s Lamp’. \n\nPRICE: \nBy Donation at the End. $25 recommended. 100% of proceeds will be going to the Raven Trust whose mission it is to raise legal defense funds to assist Indigenous Peoples who enforce their rights and title to protect or restore their traditional territories. \n\nAbout Tad Hargrave:\nFor over a decade\, Tad has found himself drawn to conversations about how we might tend to the harm that’s done in communities in ways that leave the community stronger and more whole at the end – not more shattered. \nBetween Sept 2004 – Feb 2006\, Tad dedicated himself to learning his ancestral language\, Scottish Gaelic\, in both Nova Scotia and Scotland. He can speak Gaelic with conversational fluency. He also runs a blog called Healing from Whiteness as well as a Facebook group of the same name. He is a co-founder of the Nova Scotia Gael’s Jam and co-starred in Canada’s second Gaelic language film The Fiddler’s Reel. \nHe does improv comedy semi-professionally\, co-runs Edmonton’s progressive community building network TheLocalGood.ca\, founded streetcarshows.com\, indigodrinks.ca\, socialyogiyeg.com\, and the Jams program of yesworld.org. He speaks Scottish Gaelic and helps to run novascotiagaelsjam.com and is also a huge Doctor Who nerd. \nTad currently lives in Edmonton\, Alberta (traditionally known\, in the local indigenous language of the Cree\, as Amiskwaciy (Beaver Hill) and later Amiskwaciwaskihegan (Beaver Hill House) and his ancestors come primarily from Scotland with some from the Ukraine as well. He is drawn to conversations around politics\, history\, ancestry\, healing and how those all intersect.

They completed the entire journey without using single-use plastics\, to encourage people to reduce their waste at home. Having never completed a kayaking trip together longer than 7 days\, this journey was destined to be full of new challenges\, laughs and long-lasting memories. \nIn their film ‘Changing Tides\,’ watch as their two years of planning from the tropics of Australia develops into reality\, and they leap into a wilderness beyond what they could imagine. Follow them on a journey of adventure\, challenge\, friendship and a deep love of the oceans blue. \nWatch the amazing Changing Tides trailer here!:  \n https://vimeo.com/336715063 \n\nTERRITORY ACKNOWLEDGEMENT \nPassage Adventures acknowledges that this adventure and film took place on colonised land.

SUMMARY:Chasing Ice Screening
DESCRIPTION:NO MORE BUSINESS AS USUAL \nPresented by Sunset Labs\, Be Love\, Surfrider & Dogwood \nYoung people are calling on adults around the world to join them this September to disrupt business as usual and support the Global Climate Strike on September 27. Ahead of the strike\, Sunset Labs\, Be Love\, Surfrider and Dogwood are bringing folks together to connect and learn how we can support the incredible young people who are leading the charge on climate action. \nCome and see an important and beautiful film that cuts to the core of why urgent climate action is so important\, and hear directly from one of the local youth strike organizers\, who will share what’s being planned and how businesses can get involved and show their support. \nTicket proceeds support youth climate strike organizers in Victoria. If you’re of limited means right now and wish to attend\, please reach out – money isn’t a barrier to your participation. \n6:30PM – DOORS\n7:00PM – WELCOME & FILM\n8:30PM – DISCUSSION\n9:00PM – COMPLETE! ♥  \nGET TICKETS HERE\n\nABOUT THE FILM\nAcclaimed National Geographic photographer James Balog is an extreme person. So when his climate skepticism gives way to a commitment to documenting the mass extinction of glaciers around the Arctic\, he’s extreme about that too. He and his team – The Extreme Ice Survey – set up time-lapse cameras on Arctic cliff faces\, then check back annually to grab the data. Year after year\, the photos they capture tell the story of a planet – our home! – warming fast; the glaciers and ice mountains retreat before our eyes. We also witness the heroic lengths Balog will go to capture this story. Brutal weather\, four knee surgeries\, extended periods away from his family: the guy won’t quit. Which is lucky for us because the photos\, and this film\, are credited by many former climate deniers as the wake-up call they needed. Beautiful\, captivating\, disturbing\, eye-opening\, Balog’s photos were captured from 2005-2009 and this film by Jeff Orlowski was released in 2012\, and yet the urgency of this story is greater than ever. \nWatch the amazing Chasing Ice trailer here!:  \n https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eIZTMVNBjc4\n \n\n ABOUT THE GLOBAL CLIMATE STRIKE\nThis September\, millions of us will walk out of our workplaces and homes to join young climate strikers on the streets and demand an end to the age of fossil fuels. \nOur house is on fire — let’s act like it. We demand climate justice for everyone. \nWe hope you’ll participate in this movement in whatever way resonates with you.
