What is a Conscious Arts Festival?
Over the past decade or so there has been an incredible awakening of the conscious arts and this has created an atmosphere where we have moved from many people focusing on one personal practice, such as dance, yoga, tantra, meditation, etc to a world where these practices overlap and even where a festival may be labeled as one strand, many other complimentary practices are yet present. Thus, we offer a festival which has the same quality and focus of intention you are accustomed to, but has an inclusive label to recognize that many who practice in one way are curious about others and what a gift it is to have access to so many practices which invite us to feel more of who we are an to embody that truth in greater ease.
