New This Year
Corporate Wellness Package
We don't need research (though we have lots) to show us that our employees work better and are more productive and creative when they are healthier in their bodies. The past few decades we have seen a huge trend in big businesses understanding that putting employees’ mental and physical health as a priority is not only the compassionate thing to do, but a smart business decision as well.
Our festival prioritizes mental and physical health by placing a large focus on brining in mental health experts and wellness professionals. They are available to teach and provide direct experience with healing modalities and clinically proven tools to reduce stress and become healthier in both mind and body.
This year we are so excited to attract more professionals that deserve and need a break. At the festival we are immersed in nature, which we now know is the antithesis of being glued to our devices. Walking barefoot on the earth has an array of physical benefits and quickly can bring the nervous system out of fight or flight. Even if you aren't quite prepared to spend the weekend completely barefoot, we promise you will leave the weekend with a sense of rejuvenation and many new or sharpened wellness tools to take home with you.
-
When you purchase 5 or more passes for you company/business, large or small, we will provide a discount of 30% off the current price rate.
-
For ticket bundles of 20 or more you will receive 50% off.
-
For ticket bundles of 100 or more you will receive 50% off and you will be upgraded to a Barefoot Sponsor and you will receive all of our Exclusive Sponsorship benefits.
