Express your TRUE self on the dance floor for hours of ecstatic dance. Ecstatic dance is the freest expression of movement in the safest container possible. Join our amazing lineup of local and international artists, bringing you the latest conscious frequencies. Dragonfly Fest is the only multi-day ecstatic dance festival in the US exclusively featuring ecstatic dance sets and a majority divine feminine lineup.

• 2025 Ecstatic Dance artist lineup coming in January!

Every evening at 8 PM, with a full belly and a happy heart, we will gather in the Transformation Temple for an epic experience called a Soulset.  This is peak collective energy for Dragonfly Fest.

• Thursday – Ecstatic Nap – Join Dragonfly Fest Founder, Al Jameson, as he guides you in the most profound permissive and immersive touch and relax experience with the entire community.
• Friday – Dance of the Elementals – Align your body and spirit with the five elements – Earth, Water, Fire, Air & Ether. This Soulset utilizes mantras and movement to balance the elements within your body and spirit, ultimately leading to a harmonious and aligned state of being. It draws power from the universal, loving, and unique consciousness of nature, fire, water, air, and Shantiji’s favorite, the pure magic substance aether.
• Saturday – Four Elements Cacao Ceremony – Join our exclusive team of cacao leaders in our community from all over Texas coming together for this unique ceremony honoring the four elements of earth, fire, wind, and water.

Start each morning at Dragonfly Fest with some morning yoga asana with the amazing Sonia Azad.  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.  From our official backdrop to our community art project, 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 tables and more of their work to share.

Explore the hand-picked vendors in the Vendor Village.  We have left you plenty of time between workshops to browse, shop, eat, and connect.  We’re proud to serve as home for the week for all our vendors.  Check out our vendors as we add them here.

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.
