Living Vision FAQs and other good information!

Who would attend this event?

Anyone looking for a community to share the Vision of Global Transformation on a collective and individual level. Anyone looking to go deeper into themselves and find the core where all strength and inspiration for life on earth resides.

What does my payment include?

Your payment includes 2 night’s cabin-style accommodation, 5 sit-down meals and a welcome snack on Friday, plus hemp protein shakes provided by Conscious Planet all weekend. And a journey with one of the largest gatherings of amazing artists, healers and visionaries; masters of their craft co-creating on your behalf - the price of this entire weekend is less than most non-residential, one-modality weekend workshops - this is an incredible value! You are worth it and you deserve to be there!!!

Exactly how long will we be at Lake Sasamat?

Please arrange to check in at Registration no later than 5pm as the gathering begins at 6:30 in the Lodge - snacks will be provided, but not a sit-down meal. Sunday’s closing is 5:30. You will be well fed on Sunday but no sit-down dinner. We will be expected to have cleared the grounds by 8pm for the Lake Sasamat clean-up crew.

What is going to happen during the weekend?

Without taking the mystery out of the weekend, we can tell you that as an experiential weekend you will be guided through internal processing with Masters of their crafts in the healing arts. You will be delighted and amazed.

Do I have to prepare myself in any way for the weekend?

Nope, come as you are! We all start from where we’re at and we are truly anticipating connecting with you and honouring you, heart and soul. No one is required to do anything - each process is offered by invitation. The choice is yours although we en-courage you to journey with us as a collective.

What do I need to bring?

Lake Sasamat is a camp setting - the accommodations are cabins placed throughout the forest surrounding the main Lodge. The beds are wooden with camping mattresses. If you want extra comfort you can bring a foamy for under your sleeping bag, but the beds are reasonably comfortable. We’re in quiet and fresh air, so it is a wonder-full setting conducive to sleep. If you are a light sleeper you may want to bring earplugs although we do not have late nights. Cabins have heat and there is an electrical outlet in each cabin. Separate bathrooms for men and women in the Main Lodge - 2 cubicle showers and electrical outlets in each bathroom.

Here is a list of suggested supplies for you to bring:

• Any specialty food or medication - there is a fridge for these in the Lodge. (Vegetarian and non-vegetarian appetites are planned for at every meal.)
• Sleeping bag, pillow, towels, toiletries, yoga mat, sitting pillow (we will spend some time sitting on the floor - there are chairs for those unable to sit on the floor), water bottle, lidded drinking cup (you will be able to make tea or coffee and Conscious Planet will be lovingly providing hemp shakes for us throughout the weekend)
• Clothing suitable for a variety of weathers (we usually are blessed with a dry and warm weekend - say your prayers with us for this year!), hooded rain jacket just in case, wrapping blanket for outside at night, flashlight, glow-in-the-dark anything, journal and pen, camera.
• Also cash or cheques for purchases of Silent Auction items - we won’t have credit card capabilities on site. A contribution for the community altar the will be honoured and returned.
• Bathing suit and hiking boots perhaps, as Saturday there will be a couple of hours of bliss time and there are kayaks you can use free of charge and a lovely lake to swim in if you are brave enough. It takes just over an hour to walk once around the lake.

What is the Silent Auction?

There will be items and services donated by the community, in attendance and otherwise, that you can write a bid on over the weekend - winning bids will be announced Sunday afternoon. Payment must be made at the Auction by the winning bidder or forfeited to the next highest bid. Proceeds from the Auction will be distributed between a charity as yet to be determined and the Living Vision Bursary Program which allows us to support the community in various ways throught the year - for instance, this year we are hoping to purchase some “techie” equipment that will allow those who perform to have access to equipment like lights, etc.

How do I get to Lake Sasamat?

You can get directions to Lake Sasamat from their map and a pdf printout. The camp is in Port Moody in Vancouver’s Lower Mainland. Once you are in Port Moody, from the corner of St. John’s Street and Ioco Road, turn North onto Ioco Road. Turn left at the third traffic light and follow the signs to Belcarra Regional Park. Turn right onto 1st Avenue which becomes Bedwell Bay Road. Drive past the turnoff to White Pine Beach. Turn right at the stop sign, towards the Village of Belcarra. Finally, turn right onto Senkler Road, the first road to your right after entering the Village of Belcarra, and follow the wooded driveway into Sasamat Outdoor Centre.

The parking in Lake Sasamat’s lot is limited to 40 cars so car-pooling is a necessity as there is no “street” parking off-grounds. The week before our gathering we will co-ordinate car-pooling. We’ll need to know if you are bringing a vehicle and if you can meet those who are not, who require a ride. Don’t forget you will have all of your weekend supplies too! If you live nearby and are planning to sleep at home remember to request parking on the perimeter as we’ll be closely parked to squeeze everyone in.
