A Retreat-Style Gathering

Substance free
Family friendly

We are co-creating a village with you. We'll create music together, dance together, eat together, gather in small groups to connect,  grieve together, support each other, and continue to heal together.

We are addressing the questions: How do we find a path out of this "business as usual" system? How do we learn to live & work together, coming from very different backgrounds?

Please know that you will be cared for, invited in, and lovingly welcomed at Celest Fest.

We are choosing a sober container to enter into the same conscious space together. We appreciate plant medicine, but by attending you are agreeing to leave any psychedelics, alcohol, and other substances behind.

We hope to create an experience that doesn’t just last for a few days, but one that will offer an exciting and positive new trajectory in your life. An experience to fill your heart, and rituals to take back to your community.

Testimonials

"We are still reeling from the joy that was created ... So many beautiful connections and so many beautiful moments.
I cannot stop telling everyone about it.
I just wanted to express my gratitude for the intention and the care that you give creating such a wonderful experience building this community and family." - Eric Anderton, Sept 2024

"Celest Fest was so incredibly heart nourishing! There was so much magic, so much song, so much love, it's hard to even describe it.
Celest Fest is so much more than a festival or retreat, it's really a community building experience, a soul building experience, and opportunity to build relationships." - Malarie Reddoor, Dept 2024

"Still feeling the love, the music, and the connection after a Celest Fest cosmic camp out... taking in nature, wholesome food, and soul nourishing workshops.
This event had it all...including the work -
We dug deeper, opened wider, grieved and cried, prayed,
listened, laughed and danced; and we stretched and grew in solidarity...
This gathering captures my hearts definition of community"
- Ben Lokie, Sept 2024
