The JOYFEST Experience.

When was the last time you laughed so hard your stomach ached or smiled so hard your face hurt?

It’s time to ENGAGE the whole community with JoyFest!

Community is a great place to enjoy old friends and make new ones while getting out, having fun, and increasing your vitality for life and living.

ENGAGE with JoyFest is like the best time of your life... but so much more.

Everyone around you is on the same team, encouraging you, and inviting you to express your heart out.

It's a feeling of being yourself while being a part of something really special. You feel zero insecurity regardless if you know anyone or not. You are filled with joy. You feel accepted.

ELEVATING YOUR EVENTS - Community Engagement.

It’s all about that vibe, yes that vibe, we bring the vibe.

Our teams are highly innovative and our participants are a part of the creative process.

ENGAGE with JoyFEST is all about showing up to create an elevating experience together. We welcome and encourage everyones creativity which we leverage to build a co-created program that enhances the collective spirit.

Reach to the back of your closet and break out the funky outfits and props and get ready for an amped up and endorphin producing good time! It’s time to play again!


 

Think about your life…

Do you feel tired of doing the same things over and over again while continually achieving the same results of mediocracy?

Do you feel like you are getting nowhere?

Wouldn’t it be great to have access to the strategies that break patterns which keep you stunted and stop you from experiencing the life and success you crave? Maybe you desire a deeper sense of fulfillment and joy with a cherry on top?

 

I help you clarify your focus and master your mind. Break free from the thought cycles that are causing you to be stuck in the mud.

 

Success for every person comes down to a NEW decision:

Are you ready to experience something different?

Programming - What we do:

  • City-Wide Public Events

  • If there is music and a crowd, we unite the collective spirit.

    How?

  • Our joy facilitators engage the crowd using a series of tested techniques which amplify the vibe of any event/crowd/group.

    EVENTS: (When to consider our team):

  • Parades

  • Fireworks

  • Rallies / Walks

  • Concerts

  • Sporting events

  • Festivals

  • Universities /

  • Work Groups + Team Building

  • Workshops/ Seminars / Conferences

  • Private Parties/Celebrations (Birthdays, Weddings, family reunions, Bachelorettes, stag n doe

Joy is not defined as feeling only positive emotions, but rather feeling positive ABOUT emotions.  


We are not designed to live in one emotion.  Our emotions are designed like a rainbow, full of colour, variety and expanse.  Each colour of emotion brings gifts and learnings which can benefit us. 

I believe the fullness of our expression to be truly magnificent and transformationally revealing, healing and filled with opportunity for expansion. 

This is the attitude we leverage in our programs to help you become the most bright and vibrant version of your wonder-FULLy unique self. 


Our programs consist of artfully selected music to drive out the most of your emotions and help you exercise something called “emotional fluidity”, which teaches us to be the causing agent of our emotional states in daily life.  This builds our strength in ability to flow between one emotional state to another, thus become the causing agent of our results in life.

Realizing through an inductive experience that we are truly the masters and creators of our emotional, mental and physical wellness is a powerful experience .

#Silliness is next to godliness.

ENGAGE Community - Services:

Crowd Management + Safety -

  • City-Wide Public Events

  • Working with the Police Force to Manage crowd safety and excellence

  • Goal- Working with the Government, working as a government led agency.

    “You don’t have to go home, but you can’t stay here”

  • We help move crowds in a way that is not only safe, but elevating in joy and collective spirit. This is how we aid in city - wide unity.

    EVENTS: (When to consider our team):

  • Parades

  • Fireworks

  • Rallies / Walks

  • Concerts

  • Sporting events

  • Festivals

I understand how important any interaction can be. That one difficult interaction can completely change the vibe from a high note… to something alarming and even dangerous.

This is common in a crowd of rowdy city-goers.

I think every person could recall if we asked them to, a moment where the police force took action in a way that was both alarming, violent and possibly traumatizing.

I believe we are moving away from strategies that use intimidation, force or fear.

The most powerful instigator/catalyst we are learning to inspire cooperation is love, joy and respect.

These virtues are possible to nurture in our city wide cooperation.

Our teams have been moving crowds and running city wide events for over 10 years and have never had 1 single infraction of violence or negativity. Enhancing the collective spirit was actually limited or decreased by police presence and intimidation.

We believe that with covid recovery, we need to start considering new ways of doing things. New ways of innovating cooperation and unitedness, and it doesn’t happen through fear.

How do we plan to do this?

In a heard/crowd leadership we focus on what works and incorporate new strategies to make the city stronger.

In our planning we will explore and collaborate. Counsil plays a big part in these results.

Whats needed:

  • Safety training (CPR + First Aid)

  • Crowd management training (taught by Hannah)

  • Collaborations training (Hannah and Pauline)

  • Difficult conversations training (Dr. Pauline)

  • Non Violent intervention training (EM + Patricia + Hannah)

  • Empathy School training ( H + P + E) Somatic Joyfest + Trauma release practitioning.

  • party design / event design

  • Leading teams/groups like a camp counsellor through games, silliness and play and positive and playful encouragement!

  • Hannah is Raver Mom who keeps her partiers safe and happy, Gary DDP provides the music, routes and skeletal structure, VYVE JM provides the leadership in engagement. The women dancers are gardeners who nurture the experience and assure it bears fruitful outcomes.

When I worked with autistic children, I begrudgingly taught them that the police officer is the person we turn to when we are in trouble, that they are a resource of safety and trust. Inside I knew I was feeding them only part of the whole truth they are likely to experience as autistic and orally challenged people. Those with understanding disorders are more likely to experience traumatizing relationship with police in their future.

Police presence in my experience has not always reesembled safety - but rather often negative heat, fear and concern.

I’ve reported multiple experiences of documented Racial profiling and discrimination. These challenges go deeper than a couple workshops… these are inbreaded into our psychology and programming, and it’s an opportune time for our government/city council to take a proactive stance on evolving these challenges where they can.

This is a tangible, realistic solution.

Our programs welcome and include, support everyone and encourage everyone, including the homeless on the street and the person in the wheelchair.

Our teams include healthcare workers, social workers, nurses, life coaches and energy workers / Family and community leaders and highly skilled group facilitators in our field with over 10 years experiences leadings crowds of ____ + people. etc.

Joyfest team Is here to partner with the police force as a light enhancing, colloboration team.

working healing team/ presence to de-escalate and lead artfully with a team of police. We are here to add to the presence, to elevate group cooperation and alleviate fear and danger, vrs agitate it/a crowd. We will be known as the avengers of the city of love, lightness, collaboration and joy.

We are here to work alongside the police force as crowd safety leaders and pioneers, pioneering an entirely new way of doing things. We are truly offering something different. It is an outside of the box approach and will likely put our city on the map, encouraging other countries and cities to lead with joy, hope and celebration vrs fear.

We help to keep enforcement safe, the people safe, and our community events running smoothly and efficiently.

We joyously escort city folk either with attraction or repulsion. Those who are unease by colour and joy will retreat in disposition, and those in favour will cheer, laugh and dance along with us as we swiftly move the crowd along in playful banter, cheer, dance and celebration.

We are here to revolutionize the task force and revitalize community spirit through/by leading with joy, celebration and cooperation.

We are simultaneously legitimately bringing back culture, unity and celebration as an integral part of our city wide events and culture.

If we have the funds to invest in standing art to entertain and delight/enlighten the human spirit, we have the funds to unify the collective spirit in our city as well as to take a proactive stance to revitalize the hurting/bruised energetic spirit of our people from covid/ and nurture unity to enhance our collective spirit and support the growing numbers of mental health due to isolation and loneliness. Depression rates skyrocket during covid along with addictions/alcohol/pot etc. we propose being included in the rebuild plan that can also assist in facilitating a harmonious transition back to non-covid lifestyles.

To the team -
We were legitimately financially supported by the government during covid to provide our services for the communities collective wellness, and we would like to continue offering our services, especially now that we have had a year developing mastery over how to collaborate our teams and unify our crowds.

We ran city-wide bike raves, community gatherings in the park, mini festivals, (pop up! planned and facilitated in a day! imagine what we would do with actual funding for our city).

The potential here is huge.
