We believe that you don't have to travel to misty mountains or an ocean-side resort
to find your "zen." It’s in your own homes, in your daily life. We also believe
that everyone has a unique way of reaching their “zen” state – we don’t all find
peace through sitting and meditating! For some of us, we find that state of peace
through dance, through music, through movement.
Join us for ZenFest, a 3-day festival retreat in the Midwest focused on helping
you find your "Zen" in your own way. We offer workshops in the 3 major categories
of dance/object manipulation, music/tribal drumming, and energy/body work. The 3
paths allow you to explore areas outside of your comfort zone or skill level, OR
attend workshops in your main interest all weekend!
At the end of each day, we gather together around a bonfire to dance, drum, spin
fire*, and let go of our stress and anxiety. The Friday Night beach bonfire has
become a favorite of attendees, with fire spinning* on the dock!
ZenFest is a time to learn to just be where you are, in the present moment. We have
a great community of diverse people who are just happy to be here, and we'd love
for you to join the group!
*Only insured spinners can spin fire outside of the "Fire-Spinning Workshop." The
Fire-Spinning Workshop is several hours long to give non-insured spinners plenty
of time to get their fire fix! The only requirement to attend the Fire-Spinning
Workshop is that you first attend the Fire Safety Workshop.
