Gratitude Migration is a convergence of east coast collectives, artists, lovers, and creators, and this year I was honored to build the Temple domes for their Wellness Center.

Founded in 2010, Gratitude NYC has brought together theme camps, interactive artists, stunning performances, amazing DJs, VJs and live bands, along with consciousness expanding workshops, speakers, and activities. In 2015, Gratitude began their Migration to the beach in New Jersey, where they bring their experiences out of the Brooklyn warehouse and into the expansive natural surroundings of hELLO Beach.

Gratitude is not just an everyday party. Along with the celebration aspect they also seek to further the causes of conservation, environmental mindfulness and conscious living in order to affect daily lives with positive new practices. One of the ways they do that is by offering workshops and training that will give participants new skills they can bring home.

“GRATITUDE MIGRATION IS HUMBLED AND EXCITED TO OFFER A PLATFORM FOR YOGA AND WELLNESS TEACHERS AND SPECIALISTS TO OFFER THEIR PRACTICES AND HOLD SPACE FOR ALL EVENT A ENDEES TO UNCOVER SACRED MOVEMENT AND RESTORATION OVER THE COURSE OF THE WEEKEND. OUR OFFERINGS RANGE FROM THE TRADITIONAL TO THE WHIMSICAL WITH THE SHARED MISSION OF BUILDING A SUPPORTIVE SPACE FOR PRACTICE AND RITUAL.” -Ophra Werde, Wellness Centre Director

The Mind/Body/Spirit Domes at this year’s Gratitude Migration were intended to be a place of peace, wellbeing, and mindfulness. They offered classes and workshops almost continually during the course of the event.

The programming was absolutely inspiring, and I was so amazed to see these domes filled with such incredible content and smiling faces the whole weekend.

The reason I make these containers is so that they can help facilitate a healthy shift in the world. It is always so wonderful when I watch them used for just that.

Thank you so much to all of the organizers, teachers and participants who activated this space and made it into something truly impactful.
