Rather than brush important cultural conversations under the rug, Beloved openly encourages topics of injustice and narratives geared towards decisive and constructive change. The festival actively engages subjects like sexual power, privilege, violence, and consent; allowing organizers and participants alike to make conscious thought a reality in daily life. Harnessing the tagline ‘A Sneak Peak of the New Paradigm’, Beloved creates a moving narrative which bridges ancient traditions with contemporary values to highlight the connection and evolution of humanity.
With a focus on health and well-being, Beloved also includes a range of bodywork options, sauna and hot showers for festival participants to enjoy each day. Additionally, festival organizers have arranged stand-out greening techniques including onsite composting, a rare ‘dish-share’ style kitchen for dramatically reducing festival waste and is developing prototype composting toilets as an alternative to chemically induced port-o-potties often used at large events.
Truly a boutique festival experience; each year attendance is capped at a mere 2,500 people, and for the last six years, the festival has sold-out – nearly tripling the town population for the duration of the 4-day event.
Tickets for the event are moving swiftly, and event organizers encourage festival goers to purchase tickets in advance of its annual sell-out.
