Gem and Jam Workshops
Crystal Contraception
Lead by: Cynthia Moonflower
Botanicals have been used as tools for natural child birth control from ancient times to modern science. In this open circle, we explore cycle-tracking methods, holistic methods for reproductive regulation and make our own spermacidal lubricant using organic coconut and neem oil! Learn about womb-care botanicals while infusing these oils with crystalline intentions, clarity, body awareness, sacred sexuality and liberation.
The Plant Based Paste Party
Explore, incorporate and and design ideal superfrood recipes into your festival life with a playshop based on botanical healing paste! Learn how to blend adaptogenic, aphrodisiac and relaxing herbal pastes using all natural seed butters, honey and cacao! Medicine never tasted so divine.
Sacred Plants for Lucid Consciousness
The ethno-botany of Central America and Africa is abundant in sacred and ancient phyto-oneirogens: plants used ritually for exploration and divination within the dream realm. From Calea zachatechichi of the Chontol to Sinicuichi of the Aztec to Silene capensis of the Xhosa; humans express a biological and mystical desire to enhance the lucidity of dream phenomena. Learn about cultural practices, safe usage, and the sorcerous beauty of wise oneiric plants, essential oils, and resins. Craft and take home a dream pillow with mysticalintentions after the wisdom sharing, or just come to the class and learn!!

Jamcare Medical
Jamcare’s mission is to provide the best care available to attendees of music festivals, other mass gatherings and to the community at large. They specialize in crisis intervention, community support and wellness. Their team of festival savvy EMTs, first-responders and mental health professionals provides compassionate, empathetic and discerning care to music fans. Having them on-site decreases the number of unnecessary medical transports and unwarranted legal involvement, allowing for a more positive experience for everyone involved. Feel free to find Jamcare and have a visit with their non-judgmental crew if you are experiencing any problems throughout the festival.
DanceSafe
DanceSafe’s mission is to promote health and safety within the nightlife and electronic music communities. Since 1998, the 501(c)(3) public health organization has provided harm reduction information and services at events to encourage people to make informed decisions. DanceSafe has two fundamental operating principles: harm reduction and peer-based education. Combining these two principles has enabled the organization to create successful, peer-based educational programs to reduce drug misuse and empower young people to make healthy, informed lifestyle choices. DanceSafe neither condones nor condemns drug use. Rather, they provide a non-judgmental perspective to help support people who use drugs in making informed decisions about their health and safety. DanceSafe volunteers staff harm reduction booths at music festivals, raves, nightclubs, and other electronic dance music (EDM) events to ensure positive experiences.
Current Programs and Initiatives Aim to:
- Provide safe spaces to engage in conversations about health, drug use, and personal safety;
- Provide free water and electrolytes to prevent dehydration and heatstroke;
- Provide free safe sex tools to avoid unwanted pregnancies and the spread of STIs;
- Provide free ear plugs to prevent hearing loss;
- Provide honest, fact-based, unbiased information on drug effects and potential harms to empower users to make informed decisions;
- Offer a nonjudgmental first-point of contact to risky or challenging situations;
- Offer drug checking services to prevent overdose and death; and
- Work with promoters and local stakeholders to advocate for safety first approaches.
Hands that Rock
Hands that Rock is a non-profit whose mission is to help bring the magic of music to under-served children and communities. One of the biggest fundraising efforts is providing chair massage services at various festivals and music events throughout the world, working out the kinds on audience members and VIP’s. The Hands That Rock organization has already raised $50,000 at various festivals and events worldwide, with monies donated going not only to our main benefactor, Little Kids Rock, but also to such charities as Music for Relief, Musicares, and Jon Bon Jovi’s Soul Foundation, to name a few. We also just finished up a sponsorship partnership with Pandora Radio as part of the recent SXSW Festival Other festivals we’ve partnered with have included; Worldfest LA, Country Throwdown, Bumbershoot, Gathering of the Vibes, Newport Folk & Jazz Fest, Sundance & Slamdance Film Festivals and the Vans Warped and Mayhem touring festivals sponsored by Unite the United.
