Reconnect with earth, wind, fire, and water.  Enjoy the trees and fresh air at the incomparable River Forest Haven.  Nestled in nearly 40 acres of woods on a horseshoe bend on the Colorado River, River Forest Haven provides the best combination of nature and convenience.

Camp near friends or find a more secluded spot.  Add your hammock to the Hammock Haven.  Sit in meditation, prayer, or contemplation under the Grandmother Tree.  Drum, dance, sing, or catch a late-night acoustic set by the Rhythmic Flame.

SOULSETS at Dragonfly Fest are our sacred sunset gatherings — the moment we shift from day into night, from scattered to centered, from individual to collective. Held just after the sun dips below the trees, Soulsets open the evening programming with immersive, interactive experiences designed to move the body, stir the heart, and awaken shared intention. These are not performances to watch, but moments to enter — through music, guided activation, ritual, or collective expression. Soulsets create the emotional tone for the night ahead, inviting us to arrive fully, connect deeply, and step into the dance as one living field of energy.

WEDNESDAY

• Rooted Presence – Embodied Love Opening Ceremony – Rooted Presence – Embodied Love is an invitation to return fully into the body, into the Earth, and into the living moment. Through grounded awareness and heart-centered connection, we remember that love is not something we chase… it is something we live, something we embody, something we allow to move through us.As we gather to open this space, we anchor into breath, into body, and into the shared field we are co-creating. From this place of grounded presence, we set the energetic foundation for safety, authenticity, and collective intention.Together, we root into the Earth, into ourselves, and into community opening the doorway for connection, healing, and transformation to unfold naturally throughout our time together.

THURSDAY

• Self Love Feast – Have you stroked your own face lately? Have you reminded yourself how amazing you are recently? Are you ready to remind yourself how freaking sexy you are? Join Janaki and Xavier for an interactive musical meditation where we will let our body feel the love it deserves from us.

FRIDAY

• Devotional Dusk – Devotional Dusk will invite us to move our bodies freely and warm up our hearts for the DJ set. Ybub will guide us to express ourselves through the voice, initiating vocal call and response work. A dusk time ceremony in sound and motion.

SATURDAY

• R.O.A.R. – A ritual of release under blacklight. Glowing bodies, burning intentions, tribal rhythm, and a guided collective roar. This is a somatic reset designed to move emotion, clear stagnation, and reconnect you to your voice. Come ready to be seen, heard, and felt.

SUNDAY

• Integration Circle – The Integration Circle is a guided space to gently land the week; to slow down, breathe, and begin weaving the experience into real life. Rooted in reflection, embodied awareness, and conscious community, this circle invites participants to harvest insights, name what shifted, and anchor intentions for life beyond the festival grounds. Through guided prompts, journaling, intentional sharing, and grounded presence, we honor the sparks of transformation and translate them into sustainable daily practices. This is where dance becomes integration, connection becomes commitment, and inspiration becomes lived embodiment. ✨

Start each morning at Dragonfly Fest with a variety of morning yoga.  Feel refreshed and energized for the rest of the day.

Dragonfly Fest believed creativity has no bounds. We are honored to have a fantastic tapestry of artists.  Our artists have graciously provided us with one of their pieces to be displayed this year and in the future as a huge 70×90-inch tapestry.  The artists will also have booths featuring additional work.

Our visual production, both on the stage and at the river, will be a sight to see this year.
