Create an Immersive Zen Experience for Mind, Body & Zen!

Our Mind, Body & Zen area offers a peaceful refuge for festival-goers to reconnect with themselves and the world around them. Nestled within The Healing Trees, our new wooded space, we invite creators, artists, and visionaries to design an interactive and serene Zen experience. This competition seeks to create a space that fosters deep presence, peace, and self-reflection, offering attendees a transformative opportunity for quiet contemplation and mindfulness amidst the festival’s vibrant atmosphere.

What We’re Looking For:

We’re searching for innovative designs that embrace Zen principles, creating an immersive and calming experience for festival-goers. Your creation could take the form of:

  • A Beautiful Altar: A striking, nature-infused focal point, inviting introspection and connection.
  • A Quiet Contemplation Zone: A serene nook designed for moments of stillness, meditation, or peaceful reflection.
  • An Immersive Experience: A multi-sensory installation that draws visitors into a deeper state of awareness, engaging sight, sound, touch, and even smell.
  • Interactive Elements: Opportunities for visitors to participate in the experience, such as leaving offerings or contributing to the space in meaningful ways.
