🌿✨ WELCOME TO ILLUMIN8TE FESTIVAL πŸŽͺ 6 YEARS OF SACRED CELEBRATION 🌞✨🌿

A Soul-Wide Invitation to Come Home

Dearest family, seekers, healers, wanderers, artists, wild hearts and soul kin…

Welcome to the 6th Birthday of ILLUMIN8TE Festival.

Six years of holding space.

Six years of healing.

Six years of growth, transformation, laughter, ceremony, tears, and sacred remembrance.

What began as a seed β€” a vision to gather conscious community and reconnect with the sacredness of life β€” has now become a thriving, beating heart of love and collective evolution. And this weekend, we return to that vision, more powerful and more united than ever before!

This year, we meet again β€” riverside, barefoot dancing, surrounded by trees, with the stars above and firelight in our eyes. We meet in celebration of life, in gratitude for how far we’ve come, and in deep reverence for this path we walk together.

✨ This is more than a festival.

It is a sacred remembering.

A coming home.

A rewilding of the spirit.

A return to your truest self.

We gather not just to celebrate β€” but to awaken.

To unplug from the concrete jungle, dissolve the illusion of separation, and drop deep into the heartbeat of the Earth and the infinite wisdom within. This space has been lovingly crafted for you to breathe, move, express, and release. To heal deeply, love freely, and reconnect wholly.

Over the next few days, you will be held by a container of deep intention and unconditional love. You’ll be guided through:

🌬 Transformative breathwork journeys to realign your body and spirit

πŸ”₯ Fire ceremonies to release what no longer serves

🏞️ Ecstatic dance under the stars to liberate your wild 

🌿 Sacred medicine rituals to awaken inner truth

πŸ§˜β€β™€οΈ Yoga, meditation, and sound healing to bring deep peace

πŸŽ™ Open mic and live music to celebrate your authentic expression

🌊 Cold water therapy immersion in the flowing river to return you to presence 15 mins drive virals available. 

πŸ’†πŸ½β€β™‚οΈ Massage, energy healing, and soulful connections to restore your vitality

πŸŒ• Sisterhood and men’s circles to anchor love and safety

πŸ‘Ά Children’s workshops and family magic because healing is for all ages

πŸ’« International facilitators, lightworkers, and medicine artists to support your journey home

Every detail, from the nourishing plant-based meals to the ceremonial cacao, angel card readings, kombucha brews, homemade healing treats and sacred music β€” has been woven together with sacred intention. This is a space for authentic living and conscious community.

We invite you to take off the masks.

To exhale.

To soften.

To remember.

To Rise Together.

You don’t need to be anything other than yourself here.

Your presence is your offering. Your story is sacred. Your energy, divine.

This weekend is a co-creation β€” a dance between us and nature, spirit and community, intention and magic. 🌳 Whether you’re here for your first ILLUMIN8TE or you’ve danced with us since the beginning, you are part of this living story. Your journey matters. Your light matters.

So we ask you:

✨ What are you here to release?

✨ What are you ready to reclaim?

✨ What part of yourself have you longed to meet again?

Let the wind carry away your fears.

Let the water cleanse your past.

Let the Earth ground your energy.

Let the fire ignite your soul.

Together, we’ll rise.

Together, we’ll cry and laugh and sing and heal.

Together, we Celebrate, we will remember that we are never alone β€” we are One Tribe.
