Drugs, alcohol or any other mind altering substances! We are a conscious festival dedicated to the path of the heart and peaceful living. In order for us to create this energy we kindly ask all our guests to support this intention and open to discovering the natural highs to be found in heart expanding devotional singing, ecstatic dance and blissful yoga workshops!

Is this a Hindu festival? Do I need to be part of any yoga community to join in?

Heart Festival is organised by Heart Of Living Yoga which is an interfaith community. Yoga is an ancient indigenous wisdom tradition, far older than Hinduism. What is offered here is a practice of Undoism, allowing yoga and meditation and radical self care and wonderful fun and joy in life to undo the knots that seem to come into our systems. The festival is open to all faiths and none, to people of all yoga traditions and none. Every body is welcome!

YES! 100%! We have lots of fun for all the family planned.

Yes! We have many guests come along and always witness the beautiful connections made through our community spirited living together.

All our catering is vegan/veggie and there is a gluten free option when you book your ticket.

Only guide dogs are permitted at this event.

Please note there will be official festival photographers and videographers on site. Our intention is always to be as sensitive as possible to our guests experiences, we take that consideration to heart fore-mostly. We also know how much “after-party” joy can be found in the beautiful photo and video memories, which we look forward to sharing with you all. As a growing new festival it is also important for us to capture the spirit of this gathering to help others find us and join the tribe of love. Thank you in advance for understanding and support.

We are coming together in the heart for celebration and for healing so we want to make this space as accessible as possible.

The festival will be held in the house and grounds of the Leela Centre, with space for camping, campervans and also the option of glamping accommodation.  Rooms in the house and shepherds huts are available with many options.

We recommend that you prepare with sensible footwear waterproofs and warm clothing for the evening (don't forget torches and insect repellent too!). We are also aware that accessibility on to a site like this may feel difficult for some people, with more complex needs and abilities.

So if you are feeling called to join us but are worried about your personal access to the site for whatever reason, including things like needing assistance with putting up tents and carrying heavy luggage to and from your transport, then please do get in touch to discuss this with us so we can hopefully find a way to make this experience accessible to you.

Just to note, there will always be a few wonderful Karma Yogi's and site co-ordinators on site who would be delighted to help as well as a first aid area.

Yes!
There are places inside and outside to recharge your devices.
