Frequently Asked Questions

Who comes to SoulPlay?

Beautiful, curious, open-minded souls come out to play at SoulPlay. A full spectrum variety:
• fresh-seekers who have never attended any workshops or retreats and want to get a taste of many inspiring modalities
• Individuals and couples who are keen on delving deeper into authenticity and relating
• Experienced yogi’s and dancers who have been making the festival rounds for years

SoulPlay is a welcoming festival environment to people who desire to go deeper than that first superficial layer, those who want to see beneath the skin, beyond the eyes, into the soul. People who have a longing for more presence and intentionality in their life.

Can I attend alone?

Yes! For everyone, SoulPlay is a great place to find community. For singles, it is a great way to meet new friends and experience an inclusive heart connected community. For couples, it is a great way to deepen the relationship while learning and playing together.

What is SoulPlay like?

Connection! Connection! Connection! This isn’t a solo journey. The core of the SoulPlay experience is relating! Consciously relating with others in movement, touch, communication, intellectual stimulation, singing and of course light-hearted laughter and play!

It’s also about choice. There are typically 4 different workshops to choose from at any given time, allowing you to explore a full range of potential human experiences. You may also choose, instead, to spend time lounging in our clothing optional pool, getting a professional massage, or perhaps hiking and enjoying the natural glory of Lake County and our spectacular venue.

How is it different from other festivals?

SoulPlay takes place in NATURE surrounded by a creek and rolling hills and the smell and sounds of the wilderness. It’s a festival, but it is also summer camp, and a personal growth intensive, and a fun celebratory weekend with your closest friends and family - or the people who you will soon refer to as SOUL family!

SoulPlay is an alcohol and drug free environment, though the experience of deep love and connection will get you HIGH. Instead of feeling depleted after the weekend, you will feel energized, charged up, with new skills and insights that are fully integratable into your daily life.

Sensual Workshops

SoulPlay offers workshops that focus on sex education, conscious touch and intimacy - as this awareness is an essential part of the whole of SoulPlay. To be clear, this is not an explicitly sexual event nor host to overtly sexual environments.
