Festival Experience
So what should you expect on the weekend?
It's the sense of community and the atmosphere that makes this weekend what it is - the best way for me to convey that, is through the words of people who have been.

"I’ve been to Awakened Spirit Festival for the last two years and there are so many things to love.
The main reason we have returned is that there isn’t a tangible hierarchy of knowledge or experience- everyone is welcome and knowledge and experience is shared.
The workshops are pitched for all, the evening music and drumming sessions are free flow and open and the site is beautiful with woodland, meadows, roundhouse and more.
This year we camped which added to our experience as we were day ticket holders last year.
I love the community aspect, the ethos and the vibe of the event.
There is gratitude, appreciation and at its heart is connection not profit. Because of this it isn’t overwhelmingly crowded, the tickets are great value and helps to create the calm atmosphere.
This festival has allowed my friends and I the opportunity to stop, breathe, reset and refuel. We love it"

"Been every year and every time, I've made new friends, learnt something new and tried lots of news things. Everyone is lovely and helpful, you don't feel isolated if you're on your own, it's a beautiful community spirit. You can get involved as muchor as little as you like. It's a lovely way to spend a weekend amongst like minded people in such beautiful surroundings."

"When all are welcome, and tolerance is the norm, a community is formed. That's what happens. Love the family feel."

"« Festival » isn’t even the right word to describe the experience at awakened spirit. My partner William and I have never felt so welcomed and at home. Being from Canada, we wanted to make some friends and grow ourselves spiritually. We messaged thegroup chat as we did not have any camping gear, many people reached out offering everything we would need. Even at the festival, we were offered rides to town, food, wine. We made so many friends and learnt so much. Every person we spoke to was kind, down to earth and open to connection. We immediately knew that we would be coming back next year and look forward to being able to volunteer to contribute more to the community. We are so grateful to Hayley and all the people we met"

"What I loved most was the authenticity and a deep knowing that This festival isn’t a money grabbing gimmick . This is a space where you are gently supported and invited to awaken your spirit. Workshops were held with open welcoming arms -experienced and newbies side by side . The site at clophill is one of connection and growth and as you bask in its beauty you feel yourself immersed in its positive energy ."
