The FOUNDER

Maria DelliVeneri is a Certified Athletic Trainer and integrative sports medicine provider with nearly two decades of experience helping people move with ease, reduce pain, and reconnect to their bodies.

Her work bridges high-performance athletics and integrative health. She has treated Division I athletes, led musculoskeletal and joint health programming at Canyon Ranch in Tucson, Arizona,  and now owns Remedy Sports Medicine in Bend, Oregon. Across all settings, her approach is the same: treat the whole human, not just the symptom.

Maria integrates the musculoskeletal system, nervous system, and visceral influences into one cohesive model of care—combining hands-on assessment, movement, and non-operative, non-invasive regenerative energy therapies like focused shockwave, EMTT, and laser to support the body’s natural capacity to heal and adapt.

Hello, I'm Brenda Burke! My last name means "From the Fortress." A dream told me it would be a good name for this mystical venture. At this crucial point in consciousness evolution, it is imperative that we embark on the individuation journey of inner work for ourselves, humanity and our planet. I am here to hold your hand through the dark, scary bits on the quest and to help you remember who you truly are. A few years ago, I heard the "Call to Adventure" and left my career in education to figure out what I really want from this life. Around the same time, I was torn from a relationship that had unearthed many old wounds. I was lost and broken and confused. My descent had begun. In the darkness, I met many shadow parts of Self (which tended to be my feminine aspects), discovered incredible Jungian psychology books and media, and experienced the powerful lessons of plant teachers. 

As a seeker, I have an insatiable desire to know myself and to intimately experience the Divine. It has been my pleasure to share soul-opening books and sacred medicines that help each of us find our inner feminine and create union between our Psyche & Eros for more soulful, embodied, conscious living. 

Shriman is a sanctuary for well-being, where Yoga, Pranayama, Meditation, and Sound Healing come together to inspire transformation.

Each offering is an invitation to reconnect, realign, and rediscover inner harmony."

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.
