Visual arts are a major focus of Symbiosis. You will find large-scale art installations, body art, a graffiti mural, a full-size art gallery space and live painting and workshops from many talented creators including Alex and Alyson Grey. Performing artists will also roam the venue and inject the community with wild weird wonder.

Learning and integrated education are also central to the Symbiosis philosophy. Expect workshops, playshops, discussions and presentations on a wide variety of subjects from esoteric philosophy and embodied movement to sacred geometry and composting alchemy. There will be a “Wellness Oasis” which has a variety of resources to rejuvenate your body, nurture your spirit, and expand your mind with reiki, acupuncture, tai chi, Capoeira, juggling, etc.

All of this is with a focus on environmental consciousness and ecological sustainability. Food is from organic vendors. There’s a market with sustainable arts and craft merchants, a kids’ area, guided nature walks, eco-arting, a lake for splash wars and water wings, and dishwashing stations to help you make this a no trash, carry-in, carry-out event.
