A convergence of artists
ready to make something real
A confluence of movement, migration, and meaning. Flow is Phase 2 of the Confluence — an immersive creative convergence for emerging and established artists across disciplines. It begins where Ebb ends, building on the foundations of land, body, and community established in Phase 1.
Phase 2 participants begin with the Ebb retreat, followed by a day off on June 5 with nature or culture excursion options, then continue into five additional days of deep creative process. The full arc runs June 1–10.
Together we exchange practices through master classes and cultural sharing, and experience a collaborative creation process — culminating in a ritual performance offering to the land, to ancestral waters within, to the wind that moves us, and to beloved community. The work made here is real, witnessed, and alive.
