<p>Building upon a reputation for eclectic tastes in electronic and live music, Enchanted Forest Gathering has evolved into a festival that fosters the growth of the conscious movement community. What began as a renegade series of impromptu instruction has now become an interactive component of the festival experience as Enchanted Forest Gathering places yoga, dance and flow arts front-and-center, including a mini-flow arts festival as main fixture of the festival. Past teachers have included the world-renowned <a href=”http://www.wildmoonwisdom.com/#wild-moon-wisdom” target=”_blank”><strong>KK Ledford</strong></a><strong>, </strong><a href=”http://rigzinmusic.com/” target=”_blank”><strong>Rigzin</strong></a><strong>, </strong><a href=”https://www.facebook.com/joyfulwarrioryogastudio/” target=”_blank”><strong>Holly Baade/The Joyful Warrior</strong></a><strong>, </strong><a href=”https://www.facebook.com/forest.schrodt” target=”_blank”><strong>Forest Schrodt</strong></a><strong>, </strong><a href=”http://www.hooppath.com/” target=”_blank”><strong>Jonathan Livingston Baxter</strong></a><strong>, </strong><a href=”http://holistichooping.com/bios/kandice-korves-kaus/” target=”_blank”><strong>Kandice Korves-Kaus</strong></a><strong>, <a href=”https://templeofpoi.wordpress.com/” target=”_blank”>Nova</a> </strong>and many more. This year’s stellar yoga, movement, and flow teachers will be announced in March along with the music lineup.</p>
<p>Additionally, Enchanted Forest Gathering plays host to a bold educational forum throughout the day including four types of workshop zones providing guests an opportunity to broaden their horizons in such subjects as <strong>Spirituality & Science, Nourishment & Nutrition, Sexuality & Relationships, and Permaculture & Ancestral Arts</strong></p>
<p>With a mere 245 attendees in 2011 to 3,000 anticipated this year, the rapid growth of Enchanted Forest Gathering speaks volumes to the festival’s unique offerings of innovative micro-environments and peak experiences. Revelers may find their journey leads them to interactive spaces, which include <strong>The Nectar Temple </strong>- a next level healing area, the<strong> late night tea lounge</strong> that features live jazz trios, and the<strong> Crystal Dome</strong> – an amalgamation of healing and wondrous stones collected from around the world, a <strong>late night comedy stage</strong> or the <strong>visionary art studio.</strong></p>
<p>At its new larger home on<strong> Black Oak Ranch,</strong> the festival will expand its offerings to include a <strong>silent disco</strong> and <strong>day care services</strong> among other key additions. This is a perfect homage to the historical land of the Grateful Dead, Wavy Gravy, Earthdance Festival, and the famed Camp Winnarainbow.</p>
