  • What is the 'Somatic Activation' rating?
    The 'Somatic Activation' or more simply put, 'Trigger Warning' helps for us to understand the level of content you intend on sharing. At Wild Roses Festival, we have a diverse audience from beginner level (this is their first time ever attending an event like this!) all the way to practitioners who are well versed in the work. By understanding the possible activation your presentation can invoke, we can: Create awareness for all festival participants about the level of content they may be exposed to so that they can make an informed decision about what feels right for them to attend. Allows us to prepare our team of spaceholders to be readily available for assisting in post presentation integration, should it be needed.
  • I want to attend, regardless if my application is approved. Should I buy a ticket, just in case?
    Absolutely. If you are selected as a instructor or performer after you've purchased a ticket, we will refund you.
  • What is the VIP night?
    The VIP night is a celebration that occurs on the Friday evening of the festival. This is a great opportunity for us to meet and mingle with our incredible crew of guides and facilitators, and shower you in gratitude and gratis!
  • If I am accepted as an Instructor, how do I take payments?
    When accepted, we will instruct you to add a registration page to your existing website. You will take your own payments and manage your own registrations.
  • If I offer a private workshop, what would you recommend for entry fees?
    Our private workshop instructors charge anywhere depending on the content. Ceremonies and circles usually range between $30-$60, where hands on crafting workshops usually charge upwards to $60-80 depending on cost of supplies and length of duration. We are always happy to work with you to set a meaningful price that will successfully sell out your event!
  • Travel Stipend
    We are so thrilled to be able to offer travel stipends for all Presenters and Performers coming from outside of Alberta. If you reside outside of Alberta, please ensure that is clearly indicated in your 'address' portion of your application form. We will be giving a $150 preloaded Visa card at festival on the VIP night to all qualifying persons in efforts to offset travel fees associated with travelling to the festival grounds.
