OUR FIRST HARVEST MINIFEST IS HERE 🍂
Saturday, October 24 | 10:00 AM - 11:30 PM
Indigo Grace Oasis just outside of Ann Arbor, Michigan
Inspired by our annual summer festival, HARVEST MINIFEST was created to celebrate another incredible time of year here in Michigan.
Fall.
Before the days get shorter and we begin turning inward for winter, we have this beautiful season to gather, celebrate and honor everything that has grown.
We want to do that together.
Through movement, nourishing food, nature, creativity, yoga, breathwork, meditation, dance, fire and community.
HARVEST FEST is a one-day wellness mini-festival where you get to choose how you want to experience the day.
Come move. Come rest. Come learn something new. Come spend time outside. Come meet people.
Or do a little bit of everything.
What Makes HARVEST Different
HARVEST blends the freedom and variety of a festival with the intention and intimacy of a retreat.
You are not being rushed from one thing to the next. You get to choose how you spend your day, following the experiences that feel right for you.
Throughout the property, you’ll find a thoughtfully curated mix of workshops, movement, healing practices, wellness offerings and opportunities to simply be.
Some experiences will invite you inward.
Some will get you moving.
Some will help you connect.
Some might simply feel really good.
And there is space for all of it.
The VENUE
This property is part of what makes HARVEST feel so special.
Set on more than 25 acres outside of Ann Arbor, Indigo Grace is a pilgrimage from everyday life. This is an oasis just outside of Ann Arbor but you feel like you are miles away from the chaotic city.
Dori has poured her heart into creating this place, and you feel it when you arrive.
Wander barefoot along the lovingly well kept nature trails.
Find the hidden fire pit tucked into the woods.
Gather around the community fire pit just outside the main indoor space.
Find a quiet spot for yourself or settle in with the community.
There is room to move, wander, connect and unwind.
It really is the perfect backdrop for a Michigan fall day.
Ample parking is available directly on site. Your HARVEST admission also includes use of the incredible wood-burning sauna and fresh apples from down the road.

About Symbiotica Movement Collective -
Symbiotica Movement Collectives is an ensemble of movement artists & fire spinners born from the desire to curate ceremonial dance offerings and immersive events.
We gather in community around the knowing that movement, especially when shared, is a powerful medicine: one of the most potent ways of releasing trauma from the body, speaking beyond language and seeding prayers through movement. We dance to remember and strengthen our connection to the elements, to each other, to ourselves and to the Creator.
Our work explores the intersection of embodied, free flow movement and the experience of moving as one with intentional choreography, ritual & the elements. Regardless of dance background or formal training, we believe there is a dancer living within everyone- the dancer must only be willing to be activated.
FOOD + DRINKS
Your HARVEST Day Pass includes lunch from Sol + Roots.
Tiffanie will also have desserts available for purchase.
Specialty drinks will be available for purchase from Cosmic Roots - a cute cafe located in Ferndale!
Optional Evening Dinner - $20
October 20 is the final day to purchase the dinner add-on.
This deadline applies specifically to dinner so our food provider has an accurate final count.
The Theme: Your Inner Harvest
Autumn reminds us that letting go is part of the cycle.
But before we release, there is also something worth acknowledging.
The growth.
The lessons.
The relationships.
The courage.
The things that worked.
The things that didn’t.
The versions of ourselves we have already outgrown.
HARVEST creates space for both sides of the season: Celebration and Release.
You do not need to arrive with an intention figured out.
You do not need experience with yoga, somatics, meditation or wellness practices.
You do not need to know anyone else attending.
You simply get to arrive as you are.

Water bottle
Comfortable clothing for movement
Bathing suit + towel if you plan to use the sauna
Cozy layers for the evening
Optional snacks or additional food
Anything that helps you feel comfortable settling in for the day
Michigan fall weather can change quickly, so layers are always a good idea.
Indoors + Outdoors
HARVEST FEST is an indoor + outdoor event.
By purchasing your ticket, you acknowledge that portions of the experience may take place outside and weather conditions may vary.
Please dress accordingly and come prepared for a Michigan fall day and evening.
Planning to Try Fire Dancing?
If you would like to participate in the optional fire dancing experience, there are a few important safety guidelines.
Please:
Avoid alcohol-based hair products
Wear natural fibers such as cotton, linen, silk or wool
Do not wear rayon, polyester or other synthetic fabrics while participating with fire
Participation is completely optional, limited and supervised by a skilled safety person.
Do I Need Yoga Experience?
You do not need yoga, dance or movement experience to attend HARVEST.
Movement sessions will be available throughout the day and during IGNITE, but you will also have opportunities to choose workshop-style experiences.
Come exactly as you are and build a day that feels good to you.
Ages
We love children, but because this is a smaller venue with limited space and an evening fire component, HARVEST is recommended for adults 18+.

COME HARVEST WITH US
A Michigan fall day on more than 25 acres.
Movement. Food. Nature. Creativity. Sauna. Community.
And when the sun goes down, dance + fire.
Tickets are limited. All sales are final and nonrefundable.
Now is the Time…
There is something powerful about marking the seasons together.
About stepping away from the constant movement of everyday life long enough to notice where you have been.
About celebrating what grew before immediately asking yourself what comes next.
About sitting beside other humans who are living through their own seasons of becoming, releasing, grieving, celebrating and beginning again.
HARVEST is a day to gather it all in.
To honor what this season has given you.
And to make space for whatever comes next.
Welcome to your inner harvest.
