There’s something special about the creative community here in Flagstaff.

We like to move. We like to make things. We like to play outside, learn from each other, dance under the stars, and find slightly unusual ways to spend a weekend.

Southwest Flow Festival grew out of that spirit.

Now in our fifth year, Sondering is bringing the community back together September 18–20 at Gateway Ranch | Flagstaff, AZ for a weekend of movement, flow arts, workshops, music, dancing, creativity, camping, fire circles, and connection.

And you absolutely do not need to be an experienced flow artist to have fun here!

SWFF is for beginners, longtime flow arts practitioners, families, dancers, artists, curious humans, and anyone who wants to spend a weekend outside learning, playing, creating, and meeting wonderful people.

If you live in Flagstaff and this sounds like your kind of thing, we’d love to have you join us.

Make friends. Make art. Level up.

September 18–20, 2026
Gateway Ranch • Near Flagstaff
Camping included
All ages • Beginner friendly

Come play with us.

At Sondering events, you can participate however feels right.

No pressure to network.
No need to be “on.”
No expectation to do everything.

Dance. Create. Wander. Listen.
Join in, hang back, meet someone new, or simply be.

There is no right way to belong.

Come as you are.

This is the moment we’ve been building toward!

Over the past couple of months, nearly 100 people from this community applied to bring something to The Mosaic Gathering. The lineup you just looked at is what emerged from that.

More than 75 scheduled contributions: Workshops, performances, installations, spaces, experiences, all created by people in this community who have been putting real time and care into what they do.

These aren’t just names on a schedule. These are people we know. People who have been honing their craft, exploring their edge, and are now stepping forward to share it.

Mosaic is simply the container where it all comes together.

And what makes it meaningful isn’t just the people creating it. It’s the people who show up for it.

Every person who comes out to Gateway Ranch for Mosaic is part of this. You’re not just attending, you’re supporting artists, supporting small, community gatherings that prioritize purpose over profit, and helping create a space where people can express themselves fully and be met in it.

If you ask me, that makes our little homegrown Mosaic Gathering 100X more meaningful than any giant mega festival.

So if this resonates with you, if you want to be part of something like this, not just to support it, but to experience it, contribute to it, and take something real from it… we’d love to have you there.

Tickets are still at $100 for now, but as we start sharing this lineup more widely, I can’t promise that ticket price will last.

If you already know you’re coming, now’s a good time to lock it in.

And if you see people in this lineup you care about, or you know someone who would feel at home in this space, send this their way.

This is how real community grows.

I hope to see you out there. Click here to get your tickets: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/the-mosaic-gathering-2026-tickets-1982054443195?aff=facebook

1️⃣ MAKE FRIENDS
Community doesn’t appear out of nowhere. It grows when people show up and actually spend time together.

At Sondering gatherings, strangers become campmates, collaborators, dance partners, co-conspirators in creativity.

The goal isn’t just to attend an event. The goal is to leave with real friendships.

People who are building things.
People who are working on themselves.
People who care about living meaningful lives.

Because life is better when it’s shared with good humans.

First things first. Make friends.

2️⃣ MAKE ART
Once people find each other, something natural happens.

They start creating.

Art here isn’t limited to paint or performance. It’s expression in every form. Music, movement, workshops, costumes, ideas, experiments, strange inventions, collaborative moments that only exist for a weekend.

Art is how humans process the world.
It’s how we communicate what words can’t quite capture.
It’s how we make life more beautiful.

Whatever your medium is, if it comes from curiosity, play, and a desire to connect with the human experience… Your art belongs here.

Now that we’ve all found each other... Make art.

3️⃣ LEVEL UP
Real friendship creates trust and safety.
Art opens the door to expression and new perspectives.

And somewhere in the middle of those two powerful forces, something else appears: opportunities for transformation.

When you’re surrounded by people who support you and celebrate your growth, change becomes possible.
That’s the trifecta.

Make friends.
Make art.
Level up.

To us, that sounds like the ingredients for a life well-lived. If it resonates with you, join us at May 1-2, 2026 for .gathering and September 18-19, 2026 for

Happy New Year, Sondering family!

2024 has been a year of remarkable growth, a few hard lessons learned, and countless moments that reminded us why this community is so incredibly special. As we theorized, there is no proven step-by-step playbook for creating an accessible, purpose-driven community, whose culture is rooted in healing, growth, and mind-body-spirit expansion, and also isn’t a cult or a commune, and doesn’t have a centralized governance structure… but through trial and error—mostly wins and a few stumbles—Sondering’s purpose, direction, and strategy have never been clearer.

This past year, we took a big step forward by transitioning Sondering into a DAO LLC—a fancy way of saying we’re officially committed to decentralized, community-driven leadership. In 2025, we’re evolving this even further. Be on the lookout for updates here!

In 2024, we continued to witness the collapse of the traditional music festival industry, as most of them fail to adapt to the evolving needs of the communities they claim to serve. People are seeking something deeper—something with meaning, connection, and a generational impact. The Mosaic gathering is our response. Mosaic is our annual community-built gathering that’s redefining what festivals can be. It’s not just another fleeting weekend; it’s an intentional celebration of life where we come together to create a legacy that spans generations—a space where we can bring our children, our parents, our art, music, wisdom, our dreams for the future, our willing hands, and our open minds and hearts. Follow .gathering to stay up to date on news and announcements. Big stuff coming!

As we look to 2025 and beyond, we’re committed to expanding Sondering’s impact. Through projects like Mosaic and , we aim to grow our network of intentional gatherings while staying true to our core values of nurturing mind-body-spirit wellness, self-expression, acceptance, collaboration, and sustainability with a generational mindset. It’s an exciting time, and we’re grateful to have you with us on this journey.

Here’s to a new year filled with connection, creativity, and love.

Let’s make 2025 unforgettable.
