Nourishing Our Community

Food is a big part of Heart Festival, bringing our community together to nourish our bodies in a beautiful act of gratitude and love. One of the elements that makes Heart Festival a “retreat-style” gathering is our devotion to serving food made with love on-site by our amazing catering team.

As event facilitators, our experience in hosting retreats has shown us the wonderful benefits of coming together as a community to connect over breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Our program will pause at these times so we can all enjoy the delicious and nutritious food included with your festival ticket.

Leela runs a vegetarian kitchen. They do their best to meet the most common food requirements for our guests and provide vegan, dairy free and wheat free alternatives for each meal by request. Dishes will be clearly marked if they contain any of the following: wheat/gluten, dairy, egg products, nuts, sugar. Other than the above, it is beyond our capacity to cater to special diets. You are welcome to supplement with your own items and there is a communal fridge & microwave oven if needed. Please label any items stored in the fridge.
