With over 50 acts playing across four alluring stages – the <strong>River Stage</strong>, the <strong>Hearth Stage</strong>, the <strong>Mighty Oak Stage </strong>and the <strong>Shower Party Stage </strong>- Enchanted Forest Gathering combines the close knit community vibes of a small festival with the upscale caliber of production and talent of a larger festival. The result is a unique, holistic, transformational experience that the festival’s founders have light-heartedly dubbed as “<strong><em>Sacred</em></strong>, <strong><em>sexy</em></strong>, <strong><em>silly</em></strong> and <strong><em>saucy</em></strong><em>.”</em></p>
<p>By day, Enchanted Forest Gathering provides attendees with a myriad of intellectual and body motivational activities including educational talks, forums, dance and flow classes, yoga, workshops and music at the River Stage. At sunset and continuing under the moonlight; the Hearth, Mighty Oak and Shower Party stages will play bassy-deliciousness for participants to feast their ears on until the wee hours of the morning. And for the night owls, the <strong>Nectar Temple </strong>healing area and the amalgamation of healing stones at the <strong>Crystal Dome </strong>will always be available for exploring. Continue on with a journey to the <strong>late night comedy stage </strong>or <strong>visionary art studio</strong> and splash around in the river, which will play host to its very own River Stage, a non-alcoholic elixir bar and lounge area for water immersion and fun whether you’re planning to relax or rage in its depths.</p>
<p>Throughout the weekend, Enchanted Forest Gathering will be both teaching and promoting healthy lifestyles. In addition to the stages for performances and music, the grounds will have a <strong>vendor area, home to organic food, craft and clothing vendors from local sources</strong>. All merchants will be encouraged to use biodegradable items and a “green team” will be working with the festival to help compost food waste and recycle. As always, the Gathering will be an <strong>alcohol-free event, allowing guests to focus solely on the experience and surrounding energy.</strong></p>
<p><strong>Tickets for the festival are available via the Enchanted Forest Gathering </strong><a href=”http://www.enchantedforestmendo.com/” target=”_blank”><strong>website</strong></a><strong>. </strong>Following a very successful “Hurry-Up Homie Hookup” ticket pre-sale, passes for the 6th annual Enchanted Forest Gathering are on track to sell out. “The Time is Meow” General Admission 3-day tickets are on sale now with prices set to increase on April 1st and again each month until the day before the festival.</p>
