Afterfly Gathering of the Fools II
August 28-31 , 2020
In Tarot Card readings, The Fool represents new beginnings, having faith in the future, childlike wonder, a chance, not knowing what to expect, having beginner's luck, risks, improvisation and believing in the Universe. This is what we seek for those who attend our events - a fresh look on life, our creative avenues and the connections that can be made when we allow ourselves to be seen for who we truly are. We encourage each and every one to express themselves in any way they wish, and feel comfort in knowing they will be celebrated for their unique abilities, talents and identity.
This intimate festival is a collective of creatives coming together to raise money and awareness for Suicide Prevention. We are blessed to be surrounded and supported by so many individuals who are immensely talented in their fields and willing to contribute a piece of themselves so that we may, together, help others. Unfortunately, this is a cause that hits close to home for many of us in the community and we hope that this event can be a reminder to everyone that, no matter how difficult and dark life can at times be, they are NEVER alone; we are in this together. That is what makes this gathering so special, as we all throw it together; everyone has a hand in its creation in some way.
So, come out and show your support for this amazing cause, let the light that burns bright on these grounds kindle that fire that burns inside of you, come on down to Dover and express yourself creatively ... or just come and dance to your heart's content to some INCREDIBLE music by our festival family collective - we promise you'll be extremely glad you did!
THE FOOL Affirmations:
"Out of nothing, all that is was made. The same creative power dwells in me as well."
"I am ready for the next chapter in my life.”
*Proceeds going to American Foundation of Suicide Prevention & Artists involved affected by COVID-19.

5AM Trio
Live Glitch Hop
Philadelphia, PA
5AM is Philly-based producer, musician, and creative magnate Sam Andrus. 5AM has drawn inspirations from jazz, funk, and hip hop and forged them into a style of bass music known to captivate audiences with mesmerizing detail and high fidelity sound design. To bring these creative explorations full circle, Sam has expanded his project to form the 5AM Trio, a collaboration complete with live drumming from ZONE Drums (Aaron Harel) and turntablism, bass guitar, and keys from Tygris (Zach Plocic). Drawing influence and valuable lessons from contemporary projects of a similar design, the Trio utilize choice improvisation to maneuver between full 5AM tracks and freeform jams. These musicians have bridged the gap between electronic production and live instrumentation through tight performance coordination and meticulous engineering. 5AM has soared to new heights over the past year, becoming the first electronic music producer to perform at the historic Kings Theatre in New York City for the sold-out Tipsgiving weekend. He’s also share the stage with Shpongle, Jade Cicada, kLL sMTH, Detox Unit, Kalya Scintilla, Random Rab, and more, and lived and built strong roots up and down the east and west coasts of the US.

The first 2 Gatherings, we were not fortunate enough to have someone shoot the festival... that all changed for the 3rd one when John donated his time to capturing this event so perfectly! The portfolio he created was a true embodiment of the emotions felt and the vibes emenated from a still image.
We are so lucky to know such a talented individual.

This workshop will be sure to bridge the gap between body, mind, soul, and the natural world that surrounds us. Shinrin-Yoku, which translated from Japanese means forest bathing, is a practice of engaging with the woods by letting nature enter the body through all five senses. During this session, we will perform a forest bathing activity as well as take a look at what it means to ask nature for consent. We will hold an open group discussion after the activity. Be sure to bring a pen, journal, open mind and a smile.

INTENTION TEA | Sunday
Allisa Yoga
Philadelphia, PA
Join Allisa Marie for an hour discussion and traditional tea ceremony. Together we will explore the spirits and benefits of many different herbs, fungi and flora that can help calm the nervous system, increase energy and immunity, and transcend the spirit into a higher state of consciousness and well being.
We will base our ceremony off of the ancient Japanese practice Cha Dao—the way of the tea. Cha Dao is a centuries-old meditative practice that teaches students to turn the pleasurable routine of brewing and drinking tea into a ritual steeped in quiet intention. The act of preparing, reflecting on, and consuming the tea becomes a meditation that is at once delicious and serene.
By participating in a tea ceremony we not only get to explore the quiet and stillness within our individual self, but to be in communion with those sharing in the ceremony.
The wisdom that results from reflection on the simple and minute has the potential to expand consciousness—and find peace. Tea ceremonies are both ritualistic and communal, the preparation and sharing of which can be likened to performance art. They are concentrated, intentional, and meaningful.
For maximum comfort, please bring a blanket or any prop that will allow you to sit comfortably for the full duration of the ceremony. Let’s practice connecting with one another, diving into our deepest selves, and releasing compassion and intention into the ether, preparing ourselves for a beautiful and healing weekend of music and community.
If you have any questions, concerns, or allergies to specific herbs/plants, please contact Allisa Marie via Facebook or email at allisa.peterson@gmail.com.
