July 24-26, 2026
A joyous weekend of movement, music, & community
The UPLIFT Festival is a retreat INTO life, a reminder that the magic we co-create here is not an escape from reality, but reality itself.
It is a sacred immersion into joy, embodiment, and connection guided by an extraordinary team of facilitators excited to share their gifts with you!
Join us for a magical 3 days and 2 nights at Menla Retreat Center in the Catskill Mountains — a place of ancient energy and natural beauty — where we will gather to dance, play, dream, and remember what it feels like to be fully alive, joyous, and embodied!
Uplift Your Body. Uplift Your Heart. Uplift the Collective.
Ecstatic dance, yoga, & soul-stirring music will awaken your mind, body, & spirit
