Since 1995, Tenley has been developing her methodology “Temple Tribal Fusion® (TTF®),” a system for women to experience and embody their innate power and vitality via the disciplines of dance, yoga, meditation, devotion, empowerment practices, and sacred feminine wisdom streams from India, Tibet, Nepal.

TTF® fuses belly dance and yogic practices with a variety of sacred dance traditions. This inspiring and dynamic synergy guides women to expand, vitalize, and embody her authentic nature and unfiltered expression. TTF® is for any woman who desires to fearlessly live the Truth of her Body, Heart, and Soul.

Tenley has had the great fortune to study with dance and yoga legends around the world, including renowned pioneers in Belly Dance and Indian Classical Dance. In 1996, Tenley began teaching asana yoga classes, and in 2002 began teaching dance classes.

In 2003, she began in depth studies of various transformational modalities, supporting her personal healing, along with training her to support 1-on-1 clients and group programs. Amongst Tenley’s most significant trainings as a transformational mentor is her lived experiences of challenge and growth, leading her to remarkable teachers who guided her across these thresholds.

Over the decades, all of this has coalesced into Tenley’s unique signature methodology of Temple Tribal Fusion®: a vehicle and remedy that empowers women to thrive in our unpredictable world.

ABOUT ANTHONY POPONI

You might know him as Anthony, Tony, Tony Poponi, Togna Popogna (if you know, you know) as the producer, promoter and performer of comedy shows throughout Central Oregon. He might be one of the happiest comedians you’ll ever meet. And that’s because he's also a happiness expert and travels the world offering to offer his programs to people around the globe. While Anthony is a professional speaker by day, he's a comedian, emcee and improv performer at night through his company Humore.us Productions and will bring both his humor and expertise to the festival for this event.

Anthony's comedy shows include stories from everyday life including those in his latest book Never Tony Please which is a compilation of hilarious personal stories blending his comedic humor with real insights from the science of how to craft a life full of happiness. The book is not a step-by-step guide, it’s a reminder that taking chances, evolving and growing, and laughing at yourself are often the most practical tools we have… and the ones that tend to create the most ridiculous moments along the way. Never Tony Please will be published in early 2026.

Anthony Poponi’s work-focused resources include The Little Book of Workplace Happiness which is little because it gets to the point about what actions can have a big impact on workplace culture. His other publications include: Head to Toe Happiness, The Superpower of Workplace Humor, Combatting Stress and Resilience Workbook, High Trust Cultures Tips & Techniques and Focus on the Happy: 52 Tips for a Happier and Productive Workplace.
