Coffee & Connection

Start your festival day feeling seen, supported, and connected.

Coffee & Connection is a welcoming, all-genders space designed to help you ease into the day with intention and community. Whether you’re coming solo or with friends, this relaxed gathering ensures you won’t feel alone — it’s your built-in bestie builder.

What to Expect:

A warm welcome from your host - Tammy Zdunich
A guiding reflection question to open conversation
Small group sharing circles (6–8 people, one voice at a time — no interruptions, no advice)
A gentle closing before you head into the rest of the festival
This is your space to slow down, sip something warm (or iced), and connect in meaningful ways. No pressure, no performance — just presence.

Come as you are. Leave grounded, connected, and ready to move.
