“In 2023 we held both in person and online gatherings. We launched the karma chameleon club, a zoom-based donor social club, meeting approximately monthly to chat and view recordings of starwood workshops and concerts. Our winterstar symposium took place both in-person and online via zoom between february 9-12, 2023. We managed to pay eight instrumentalists/dancers commercial rates to perform at our in-person concert, while others donated their performances for the fundraiser. We provided classes, concerts, a community chat channel, and audio-visual performances online. About half of the 100+ attendees were volunteers, many donated money in addition to their time. Our goal was two-fold: bringing together our starwood community online to socialize and raising the starting funds to put on our yearly community-building camping event: the starwood festival, which we planned and executed and which took place at wisteria event site in pomeroy, ohio during july 11-17, 2023. Over 730 people attended the 43rd starwood festival, over 200 of whom were recipients of work-scholarships, who might not otherwise afford to attend. We presented approximately 150 workshops, and curated approximately 50 separate live performances by musicians, dancers, and other performing artists, including african and woman-led groups. We also fostered artistic and economic opportunities through our vibrant vending community. We are honored to be "america's longest running transformational festival".”
