There was one I was aware of..an impromptu african dance workshop at the Labyrinth stage formerly the Portal formerly the Inner Sanctum.
As a workshop coordinator from previous years it was a mixed feeling to go to Shambhala and not see a program happening. On one hand, I didn't have to worry about much organizing and preparing, facilitating etc plus I could just focus on the party aspect of the whole festival without having to focus on any issues, or harnassing the potential of festival culture there. And a good time I had. But on another hand I felt that the festival was definitely not complete anymore. I know some people could care less if people are coming together around learning, discussing and being together outside of partying and music but I heard a lot of people asking about the workshops and saddened to hear that they'd been nixed.
Just wanted to bring this up for discussion...

Re: Workshops at Shambhala 2008
Wed, September 24, 2008 - 5:00 PMyep. the missing workshops are a big deal to me. The lack of workshops has turned shambles from my number one festival priority to my number three: I will probably still go, but Motion Notion (edmonton) and Astral Harvest (driftwood valley) are my first priorities now. If I don't have enough money left over for sham...
I don't know how strongly people feel about it, but i suspect even for those who never attend the workshops, the environment created by that giving attitude is strongly felt by all. -
