About

A family friendly music, performance and healing arts festival in Blue Ridge, Georgia! Consider changing the world through art and love by immersing yourself in an intentional experience in nature full of spirit, art, yoga, meditation, healing, and freedom!

Enjoy a beautiful lake to swim in, many acres to roam and camp in, creeks to play in, a produce garden to mosey around in! Experience a movement class at the yoga deck, learn a new skill at the primitive skills tent, enjoy a sound bath at the sound tent, receive a session with a wellness practitioner

Get your groove on at the main stage, shop for local handmade goods and arts, enjoy a snack at the snack bar, share songs and drumming by the bonfire each night. This is a weekend packed full of opportunities for connection and heart opening experiences.

FOOD

IMPORTANT! If you plan on participating in brunch and dinner you must order a meal ticket! All meal tickets must be purchased in advanced and cannot be purchased at the door. This helps us know how much food to make. Ages 10 and older must order a meal ticket. 

There are no food vendors except a small snack bar, so if you don’t purchase a meal ticket you must bring your own food. The meal ticket includes Friday brunch through Sunday dinner. Brunch is at noon and dinner is at 7pm and will always be served in the downtown outdoor kitchen. There will be gluten free and vegan options. We will also be serving coffee every morning.

The meal ticket includes 3 brunches and 3 dinners for $50 per person. Ages 14 and under eat for free. You can still buy one at 20% off until Sunday.

We will cut off the meal ticket a couple weeks before the event so we can anticipate the amount of people we will be feeding.

The menu is vegan and gluten free except for the obvious options that might have gluten and dairy on the side, but not in the main dishes. We might have some meat options available. We will be serving basic coffee every morning for free.

Thursday at 7:30pm we will have a community potluck.

Brunch is the same menu every day and will vary:

roasted potatoes, veggies, grits, eggs.
