  • Forest Fest is our modern harvest gathering.

    This is a weekend to slow down, reconnect with nature and one another, celebrate creativity, and remember the joy of creating community together.

    Welcome to your forest home.

  • gathering with intention matters now more than ever.

    Forest Fest is an opportunity to share our gifts, learn from one another, and celebrate the abundance of the season.

    Together, we remember that community isn't something we find - it's something we create.

  • We believe everyone has something meaningful to offer.

    Whether you're leading a workshop, helping in the kitchen, sharing a song, or simply offering a kind conversation, your presence matters.

    We value compassion, curiosity, stewardship, and the understanding that the best communities are created together.

  • There’s no single way to experience Forest Fest.

    Expect meaningful conversations, 15+ inspiring workshops, shared meals, forest walks, live music of all types, laughter around the fire, and moments of quiet wonder.

    Forest Fest offers spaces to reconnect with yourself, with others, and with the forest itself.

  • Each day unfolds with its own rhythm.

    Friday evening welcomes us with an opening ritual in the meadow, followed by with acoustic music and connection around the fire.

    Saturday begins with optional yoga and meditation before a full day of inspiring workshops, culminating in a joyful ecstatic dance celebration.

    On Sunday, we gather once more for music, workshops, and heartfelt connection before closing the weekend together in a final community circle.

  • Forest Fest isn't produced for you. It's created with you.

    Every workshop, shared meal, helping hand, song, and conversation adds to the experience.

    When everyone brings a little of themselves, something truly special begins to emerge.
