“So much was offered and brought together by the team, it was so beautiful. They have an amazing childlike spirit and gave endless energy to create the vision! 
All children and their families really valued the variety of offerings, the individuals and the space itself and that was clear for everyone to see”

Shelley Kendall

It was so great to have so many toys and games to play with for adults and children alike. Everyone loved the space and it gave Sabrina the opportunity to grow in joy and confidence when she tried rope walking for the 1st time. I felt safe and inspired by the way the team played with her!

“The area designated for children at soul revolution was a truly inspiring space to be in. There were lots of people giving their time to be with the kids in many different activities and the groups were quite intimate and small which was super nice. . . My daughter was able to make so many new connections and friends and everyone was so caring. The dedicated to creating such a joyful space was amazing . Having a place that she could feel at home during the festival was super cool, and it gave her such freedom to play. Corrin showed an incredibly high degree of care to everyone in the space, parents and kids included. Thank you !”
