Each 45-minute workshop takes place twice, at 11am and 1pm. Please arrive a little early as this is a popular program. Ideal for ages 5 and up, but all are welcome. Free! Donations welcome.


Wild Heart in Motion with Desirée Dawson
Desirée Dawson, Winner of the 2016 CBC Searchlight Contest, brings you a music-based workshop filled with exploration and creativity. Desirée's journey with music has led her to a place she calls her Wild Heart space, where she is fully tapped into the flow of her creative spirit. Desirée finds that she can be at her most Wild Hearted when she's having genuine connections with those around her and when she's connecting and spending time with the beautiful traditional, ancestral and unceded coast Salish Territory that she lives and plays on. She believes that when our Wild Hearts are in motion, so much is possible. Come get into the flow of your own Wild Heart with movements of your body, voice, and words. All Ages.
