2008 General Workshops
Once we receive your workshop registration we assume that you will be purchasing a ticket and attending the event. Festival admission is not waived for general workshop presenters. If you are unable to attend, please let us know as soon as possible so that we can cancel your workshop. SCHEDULING YOUR WORKSHOP AND GETTING IT INTO THE PROGRAM:Please use one workshop form per workshop and print clearly - all of your information is important to us! If we receive your workshop application by June 6th, we will pre-schedule your workshop and include it in the Festival Program. If you would like to confirm that we have received your registration, or confirm the day and time your workshop is scheduled, you can phone the Walhalla office after the last week of June (231-757-4766). If we receive your application after June 6th, your workshop will be scheduled but we cannot guarantee that it will be included in the Festival Program. The womyn attending the Festival will learn about workshops scheduled after the program is printed via posted notices around the Land, and of course, at the One World Workshop Tent. While at the Festival, if you decide to schedule an additional workshop(s) or want to reschedule your workshop, please speak with the One World staff and they will be happy to assist you. If it is raining, workshops are held where scheduled unless you reschedule at the One World tent. IMPORTANT: If you need to CANCEL your workshop - even at the last minute - let the One World staff know. Please do not take this lightly! It is imperative that you take the responsibility to tell the staff that you will be canceling. Womyn make a significant effort to get to the workshop areas on time and the information you are sharing might mean a great deal to them. If you cancel without due notice or don't show up, it will not only disappoint the womyn attending, it will also affect our ability to schedule your future workshops. MATERIALS/SUPPLIES:
COMPLETING THE WORKSHOP REGISTRATION FORM
Description: Give a brief (10-20 word) description of your workshop including its format (lecture, discussion, active participation) for the Festival Program's workshop descriptions. Workshop Program Categories: Please check which of these categories best represents your workshop. Workshop Locations: Workshops are held (rain or shine) in beautiful, grassy meadows or wooded groves, with varying degrees of privacy. While every effort is made to separate noisy and quiet workshops, we are in the woods and sound does carry. The terrain in each of the areas varies, but it is never absolutely flat and does not provide the "floor-like" space often preferred for movement or sports workshops. Length: Regular workshops are scheduled daily Thursday through Sunday, typically between 9am and 5pm. Most workshops are one or two hours but you can request longer if you feel your subject or activity warrants it. Frequency: Most womyn present their workshop once during the Festival. However, attendees often request that presenters offer workshops twice so that they can have more flexibility in their schedule. If you want to offer your workshop twice, we will do our best to fit both times into the schedule. Alternatively, you may choose to offer a workshop series where you present your workshop daily at the same time and place. A series gives womyn a chance to get to know each other and to work together several days in a row.
Special Needs: If, as a facilitator, you have special needs such as a sign language interpreter for yourself (womyn attending your workshop who need an interpreter can arrange this at the Community Center before the workshop), a foreign language interpreter or assistance of some kind from the One World crew, please describe your need on the application and we will do our best to accommodate you. Children and Teen Info: The children at Gaia Girl's Camp (ages 5-12), Brother Sun Boy's Camp (ages 5-10) and the Teen girls (ages 13-17) love to attend workshops given especially for them. There have even been some great workshops at Sprouts Camp (ages 0-4)! Active, hands-on participation activities are generally more successful with younger children than discussions or presentations. Teenagers appreciate topics that address issues specific to their generation. If you have a workshop to share with the younger folks, please specify what age group you are doing the workshop for, and where you would like to hold the workshop. Return the Workshop Registration form by June 6th return to top |

Each year, the womyn who attend the Michigan Womyn's Music Festival create the General Workshop Program by organizing workshops that they choose. This ensures that the Festival will have an ever-changing program pertaining to the interests, views and opinions of the womyn attending the Festival in a particular year. Just because you don't see a certain topic one year doesn't mean that there is no interest in the topic, only that no one offered to facilitate it that year.
Title: Choose a clear and descriptive one to three-word title for the Program.
Audio Visual Material: If your workshop requires video, slide or film presentation, please fill out the back of the workshop registration with the information for the Media Tent. There are a limited number of spaces for media workshops because there is a great demand for the equipment. We offer DVD, slide projection and VHS. Please let us know at what time during your workshop you will need media and how long that portion of your workshop will last.
