Cascadia Culture Emergence
Event description
CASCADIA CULTURE EMERGENCE
APRIL 25-27, 2025 | BRIDGE SPACE PDX | PORTLAND, OR
Rooted in place, connected in purpose, and rising together.
Rising from the sea to the mountains, a new culture is emerging in the Pacific Northwest — one of connection, reciprocity, and deep listening. In an era of social and ecological collapse, shaping culture is not just a pursuit — it’s a necessity. Culture is how we remember who we are. It is the stories we tell, the music we sing, the rituals that ground us. When dominant systems fail, culture is what remains, reminding us how to be human. Beneath all the chaos, something powerful is stirring — a collective initiation calling us back to place, story, and community.
The Cascadia Culture Emergence is a three-day gathering for those who feel the call for cultural change. Rooted in music, art, ritual, and wisdom, this event invites us to participate in the emergence of a new way of being together. As a bioregional booking and event production company, Cascadia Culture is weaving a mycelial network of musicians, artists, storytellers, poets, speakers, and wisdom keepers shaping a culture that honors people and place.
This gathering will be an immersive experience of music, art, education, and deep connection, offering a glimpse into the vision, offerings, and community that Cascadia Culture is growing. By coming together in this way, we are not just celebrating — we are reclaiming the power of humanity. Join us for a weekend of inspiration that honors the land, the stories, and the people who are rising up for change. Together, we are reimagining how our bioregion gathers, celebrates, and heals.
