Desires and Offerings

Be-Coming is a love child of ritual, festival, and un-conference.

In ritual, we open and close the container to create a safe, sacred, magical space in which to explore.

As a festival, there are offerings in which you can partake: guided re-wilding, dancing, feasting, and a self-pleasuring ceremony.

Like an un-conference, there are significant portions of unstructured time in which to independently explore, or co-create.

Be-Coming attendees are a curated group of trustworthy and dedicated adventurers. Each aware of their own sovereignty, attempting to honor their “Hell, yes” as much as their felt “no.” Participants bring their unique wild animal body, relationship to the more-than-human world, life experiences, and desires. All share a common love for the world, an interest in exploring and learning, and longing to expand their capacity for connection.

At Be-Coming, we view no one as expert, and no one as lacking – needing to be taught. We are all intimate with our own history and longings. We invite everyone to bring what they have to offer and to dive deep and ask for what they want to experience. This can be a difficult as we have been filled most our lives with “should and shouldn’t,” or subscribe to the cultural definitions of “appropriateness.” Do you believe you can have what you desire without shame?

To support this important relating to self, we encourage everyone to utilize the desires and offerings board. The offerings are things you’d like to contribute, to facilitate, to co-create. The desires are your heart and body’s deepest longings of things to experience, fantasies to fulfill, or adventures to undertake. The edge for many, is sharing those offerings and desires. Whether they are realized is inconsequential to the growth that occurs from exposing our truths.

Prior offerings included a river float, genital gazing, and a group healing session. Multi-handed massage abounded on the desire list, which also included primal sexy wrestling and conscious kink.

What are you feeling called to offer? Can you find your full yes to what you want to contribute? Can you allow yourself the possibility that you don’t have to contribute anything? What makes you the most nervous to offer?

What are you deeply desiring? What might be possible to experience in a container like this? What might you experience on wild land with complete privacy? What makes you the most nervous to ask for? What do you limit yourself from receiving?

How committed are you to your aliveness, expansion, and de-shaming? We have created the ideal container in which to find out.

The application process for this summer’s event is open until the end of June.

What kind of experience will you have?
