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, and into the soul. People who have a longing for more presence and intentionality in their life.
You belong at SoulPlay if...
- You're ready to live your fullest life and to do it in community that celebrates your creativity.
- You believe in the audacious dream that we can build a new culture rooted in connection, consent, and collective thriving.
- You want to deepen friendships and build community.
- You crave conversations that matter, hugs that land, and friendships that last.
- You're into learning about yourself.
- You're showing up to be part of the healing. You understand that systems of oppression have shaped who feels safe to show up and you want to help change that no matter if you've been excluded or included by those systems.
- You're committed to care, repair, and accountability. We are not perfect and we don't expect perfection. We believe that engaging across difference is part of the practice, not something we avoid.
- You're interested in the experiment: What would it feel like to set down the things you use to cope - substances, screens, busyness - and practice being present with what's here for you?
Yes!
SoulPlay is a great place to experience community and find friends. Volunteering is a great way to get to know people.
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 around the campfire and of course light-hearted laughter and play! It's a great place to meet new friends and grow connections.
It’s also about choice. There are different experiences to choose from at any given time, giving you options to dive into whatever you are needing in the moment. You may also choose, instead, to spend time lounging in our clothing optional pool, getting a professional massage in the Healing Sanctuary, shopping in the Vendor Marketplace, enjoying a nature hike.
We have workshops that are sensual in nature and explore sexuality and alternative relating, however, we do not encourage any one relationship type, nor do we allow sexual activity in the public spaces of SoulPlay.
We love to introduce you to new ideas but your experience is always yours to craft.
SoulPlay takes place in nature surrounded by rolling hills, flowing water and big beautiful trees, with all the fresh scents, sounds and delights nature provides.
It’s a festival, but it is also summer camp, and a personal growth intensive, and a fun celebratory weekend with your closest friends - or the people who you will soon refer to as SOUL fam! Your experience is yours to craft and only limited by your imagination.
SoulPlay is an alcohol and drug free environment, though the experience of deep love and connection will get you HIGH. You will feel energized, charged up, with new skills and insights that are fully integratabtle into your daily life.
Sierra Meadows in Ahwanee, CALocated 4 hours East of the Bay Area in the Sierra Foothills. Located just 20 miles from the South Gate to Yosemite National Park and Mariposa Grove, we are a great jumping-off point for excursions into the park, to Bass Lake, or to the beautiful Eastern Sierra Foothills.
The cabins are situated in the middle of 1,300 acres, just 10 minutes from the mountain community of Oakhurst. Just across the road from the cabin village you will find a former golf course with miles of paved pathways, ponds, creeks and unusual sculptures.
We encourage you to bring your bicycle to help you explore this beautiful space. The former golf course is an ideal spot.
In the cabins you will find free wifi, playing cards, books and board games... but sorry, no TVs.
