Samadhi Summer Roots Team Application
We need to get all these roles filled (and filled well) in order to do the damn thing. These roles are for the unicorns that are down to show up in their masculine and crush it ~ there is a lot of things to hold, organize and show up for.
We’re also the people that, after having owned it, get to embrace our feminine and receive this truly magical experience as something we co-created together.
***We currently do NOT have dates or a location at this time. We understand your availability may depend on this. Please apply anyway and we’ll figure all that out when we confirm logistics. We’re hoping for mid/late July.***
APPLICATION DEADLINE: MARCH 15
WE CAN’T DO THIS WITHOUT YOUR HELP.
Without these roles filled we won’t be able to sustainably continue producing Samadhi Summer.
EXPECTATIONS
Do NOT apply for any of these roles as a means of getting a free ticket. This is for people that want to support this festival & community through the sharing of their gifts and life force energy.
These roles will require the ability and desire to contribute your time and energy in a large way.
While we will have loads of fun, please understand that we NEED dependable, accountable, hard-working humans to support us. Please know how to balance your personal needs with contributing to this event. Samadhi Summer is sacred, we ask that you respect it as such.
Arrive for your shift on time
Arrive for your shift ready to start your shift
Focus on the tasks requested until the end of your shift
If you finish a task before the end of your shift, find a team lead to provide you with another task
Please understand this is our first time ever having such support roles. We are doing our best to accurately predict what each position will look/feel like but are learning as we go such that your flexibility is greatly appreciated.
We ask that you really feel into your capacity over the next several months before committing to this project.
COMPENSATION
Here’s the goal. We want to do a lot less work and create space for people to join us and receive some loving finances from the Universe while doing something they’re passionate about doing. As with previous years, we have no idea how much this will cost in the end and our #1 priority is the attendee experience. That being said we’d love to be putting some decent spending cash into the pockets of those people that have spent much of their time and energy working on this event.
Let us create an energetically & financially sustainable and abundant flow of resources for our tribe.
