Same Same But Different Festival (SSBD) is raising the bar on festival well‑being this September, today unveiling a workshop lineup of over 50 interactive workshops.
“Our workshop leaders are the heartbeat of SSBD. They create the moments in between the music—the ones where real connection and transformation happen. These aren’t just side activities; they’re an essential part of what makes this community so special.” – Brad Sweet (Co-Founder, SSBD)
Leading this year’s workshop lineup is LSDream’s iconic Lightcode session. A visionary intersection of music, meditation, and energetic healing, Lightcode promises attendees a synesthetic journey through sound, breath, and transcendence—immersing participants in a deeply personal exploration of consciousness and sonic alchemy.
Returning to the lakeside grounds is Amplified Yoga led by Donovan McGrath, whose music-driven flow lit up Lightning In a Bottle’s main stage this year. From Yin Yoga for the Nervous System to Aguacero Ritual Drum and Dance, restorative sound baths and expressive art sessions like DIY mosaics. There’s even a community 5K. SSBD uniquely blends play and purpose, creating experiences few festivals can match.
For those seeking a more family-friendly vibe, the Family Garden offers a playful and welcoming space with activities like making your own parasol umbrella, kandi bracelet making, gardening 101, and live looping workshops. Kids and adults alike can tap into their creativity with paper making, intuitive writing, and dream weaving, or dive into immersive adventures like “The Rock Show That Never Happened”.
This robust programming reaffirms SSBD’s commitment to building community beyond the stages—welcoming attendees not just to dance, but to reflect, recharge, and reconnect. It’s an invitation to discover a festival experience that’s truly different.
