Cultivating Community Knowledge
Our world is full of information, and it can be difficult to sort through the sheer quantity of data in our lives. Our Education-focused events are designed to distill our community members' strengths into a creative, inspiring environment and birth ideas and embodiment for the world we desire to create together.

Helping each-other re-member earth
HERE was an evening of spoken word, song, and tabling from local organizations in Seattle centered around social and climate justice. The intention for this event was to spark inspiration, connect people to ways to plug in, and build community around actively embodying our values.

Song, storytelling and
poetry are ancient
technologies of truth
that have the power to
weave us together in a
tapestry of belonging.
Expansion Thought Leaders Party
First
designed as
a fundraiser for
Expansion Fest 2019,
the Thought Leaders Party
turned into something entirely
its own. Synthesized with
music, bodywork, and
dancing, it was a
night that could
not be
beat!
Through
gathering
musicians, industry
experts, healers,
changemakers, and activists, we brought together the best minds of our generation and left with a
sense of togetherness,
pride, and
new
horizons.
Crafted
to ensure that
all information was
digestible, impactful,
and centered, our sold-out
symposium was successfully able
to raise significant funds for Expansion and created
a resource pool
for our
extended
web.
The Village Events Series
One of our
original synthesis-style
events, The Village
Events series evolved out of a desire to highlight and connect people to industry leaders in growing, sustainable, earth-first movements, ancestors, communities and
homes.
Each
event included themes
around permaculture,
community living and sustainable design. This included everything
from family, architecture, ancestry, eco village experiences and visions, urban design and more. We had many leaders and sponsors in the Seattle area supporting our events
and vision.
With
information comes
powerful experiences.
Our community left with heads brimming of new possibilities,
new connections, and new ways
to become involved in the
crucial work of bettering
humanity, its people and its buildings.
Listen and watch to some of the magic we created!
We made a podcast to host and house some of the talks. You can listen below on Soundcloud or Apple podcasts.

The Village Mixtape
Expansion Virtual Mastermind Series
In 2020 we hosted an online festival with 30+ workshops over a period of two months.
Expansion (Activated) was a chrysalis of socio-cultural change synthesizing inspired action, ecological thinking, and sacred expression. At the start of this new decade, we invite you to be not only an ally, but an accomplice in the Great Turning. Join us as we tend the gardens of our souls, grow our gifts, expand our networks, and deepen our roots in the movement ecosystem.
As the COVID-19 pandemic is forcing us to halt business as usual, it is also allowing many of us to slow down, rediscover what we value, and illuminating the fragility of our society. Communities around the world are mobilizing in an effort to heal, repair, and take back their power. The world as we know it will never be the same, and together, we create the future.
Expansion (Activated) | A Virtual Mastermind Series is our response to this time. We have curated a workshop series that will grow your awareness, inspire your heart, expand your mind, and connect you with thought leaders from around the globe.
Expansion remains rooted in the vision that the more we gather, the more we manifest the future we desire. Although this looks different in these times, we hope you will join us virtually as we empower each other to embody new paradigms and expand our New Earth toolkits.
