💞1-2:30pm: Village-Based Leadership: Reimagining Community for the Next Seven Generations
What if education, wellness, food, culture, and leadership were woven together into a thriving village?
In this interactive workshop, Amy Ma, M.Ed. invites participants into an inspiring and practical exploration of living and learning villages in which communities - children, youth, adults, and elders learn, contribute, and grow together through meaningful relationships, shared leadership, and connection with the natural world.
Drawing from more than 25 years of experience in Montessori education, wilderness mentoring, regenerative community design, and rites of passage, Amy will guide participants through a process of inquiry and visioning to explore how villages can become living ecosystems of belonging, stewardship, lifelong learning, and purpose.
Together, participants will discover practical frameworks for cultivating communities through:
- Living and learning across generations
- Nature connection and regenerative leadership
- Food sovereignty and land stewardship
- Meaningful work and shared responsibility
- Multicultural wisdom and traditions
- Authentic relationships and resilient community
Whether you are an educator, parent, land steward, community organizer, entrepreneur, or simply dreaming of a different way of living together, this workshop offers practical inspiration and a pathway toward creating communities where every person's gifts strengthen the whole.

The Medicine Show Revival is The Community Forward Circus. We travel from town to town with our three mobile stages aiming to empower, educate and entertain and to bring awareness to the medicine that is community.  After two weeklong celebrations for community resilience in the Grants Pass, Oregon area, in April and October of 2025, we have found our desired launchpad for our traveling caravan. We have decided to not only stick around for another weeklong celebration for community resilience in downtown Grants Pass, this Summer August 15th-23rd, 2026, but we also now have a 5-year plan here in the area, as we aim to make Grants Pass the healthiest city in Oregon. 

We are joining efforts with True Juice in Grants Pass to create a community hub for health, arts, empowerment and education.

ABOUT
MEDICINE SHOW REVIVAL

EMPOWERING, EDUCATING, AND ENTERTAINING SINCE 2011

The Medicine Show Revival is a 7 day celebration brought to small towns and rural areas that resources and delivers the medicine that is community and the pursuit of passion.  With a mission statement of "Empower, Educate, Entertain" we hold a firm belief that community resilience starts with personal resilience. 

 

What you would expect to find at the Medicine Show Revival are micro events that engage the whole community, including fun flash mob antics, educational workshops ranging from primitive skills to self-care, music, building, communication and much, much more, to shows from talent showcases to variety shows, movie night, etc;

 

The Medicine Show Revival truly has something for everyone.  Delivered as a modern take on the uniquely American tradition of the prohibition era's Medicine Show movement, by the time we mosey onto the next town, yours will be tighter than ever.  The Medicine Show Revival; Empower, Educate, Entertain.

EXCITING OPPORTUNITIES AWAIT

Never More Than a Day's Travel Network

The Medicine Show Revival is building a network of properties around the country where one can never find themselves more than a day's travel from somewhere they can genuinely feel at home. 

Reach out by email or phone for more information on how to participate as a landowner or a traveler.

Events/The Show

Like the old Medicine Shows, we travel from small town to small town, bringing empowerment, education and entertainment with our caravan of do-gooders.

The Medicine Show Revival puts on events nationwide, and we aim to go global, by the year 2030
Bringing educational workshops by day and entertainment by night to your small town! Or maybe even your backyard?!

Each year, the MSR aims to put on 100 micro events, two fundraising galas and two weeklong celebrations for community resilience.

Contact us today to help put on events in your area!

Vendors

The Medicine Shows from the prohibition era brought their health care elixirs from afar, calling for the locals to gather, with the advertisement of
FREE SHO 2NITE!

 

In this revival of the medicine shows, instead of a miracle Snake Oil, the medicine we have come to sell is COMMUNITY!

 

We encourage you to bring your passions to the table. Whether you are offering your knowledge in workshops, selling or bartering your goods and services, or performing with our variety shows, or our dance and flash mob crew, or you just want to volunteer your helping hands in any of these areas... please see the bottom of our website for contact information and reach out to us today!

Sponsorship

The Medicine Show Revival is a nonprofit organization, and we are currently seeking tax-deductible donations and sponsorships.

We are currently raising funds for our upcoming weeklong celebration for community resilience in the Grants Pass, Oregon area. As well as our partnership with local health and arts hub True Juice, to purchase a local property/building to combine forces and become True Medicine. 

We look forward to putting on a damned good show in the Rogue Valley and when we move on from this area, we look forward to positively impacting communities around the country. 

Your financial support, sponsorships and donations make the difference in the difference we aim to make. Thank you!
