A multigenerational clear heart-centered village where, children, teens, elders, and everyone in between. A place where dance, music, creativity, healing, and connection come alive. At Lovefest you are immersed in a mix of live music around the fire and on stage, holistic, relational and embodiment workshops, DJs & Conscious Dance, cultural performances and a whole lot of fun, magic, and surprises. We (Lovefest crew alongside Embodied Freedom & younger generation from the SoulHum Team) want to celebrate connection, creativity, and conscious living with you. We have a limited amount of tickets due to the beautiful venue that is in Nature and part of a community. Especially if you want a camping spot get in early. Why co-create a conscious festival? Because together we can create a culture of kindness, respect, and freedom that lasts long in your heart after the music stops, and the guitar keeps playing and we sit by the fire together to remember community.
