ABOUT
SOULPLAY
FESTIVAL
Connection and Play
SoulPlay Festival is a multi-day gathering focused on heart-opening connection, personal expansion and blissful dance. We come together as a community to connect, explore, and grow. We curate workshops, activities, and spaces designed to gently challenge comfort zones and encourage vulnerability.
From movement sessions that free the body to speak its truth, to introspective workshops that dive into emotional landscapes, SoulPlay offers multiple avenues for self-exploration and expression. We push up against old paradigms to bring forth a new world that supports more expression, includes marginalized identities, and promotes love and connection.

The venue's fresh air, sunshine, and surrounding natural beauty provide attendees with an amazing playground. Take time to relax, meditate in nature, explore hidden creek spots, climb the hills and say hello to the trees.
Experiencing the beauty of nature helps has been proven to help us feel more trusting, cooperative, and connected to others. It's a part of this festival and we hope you take the time to connect with it.
When it doesn't make sense, nature is there to help you through it.
Getting to the HEART of it...
Soul
The vital, mysterious, and wild core of our individual selves, an essence unique to each person. It is the essence of who we are, and is present in all living things. It animates the body and is the seat of the senses, desires, and emotions.
SOULPLAY
An invitation to explore your deepest essence while engaging in the liberating, creative energy of play!
It is a crucible for transformation, a playground for the soul, and a glimpse into a world where authentic self-expression is fully celebrated.
Play
Play is the act of engaging in activities purely for enjoyment, exploration, and creativity. It’s an expression of freedom and curiosity, where the focus is on the experience itself rather than achieving a specific outcome. It invites spontaneity and presence, often reconnecting us with our childlike wonder.
