EVENT INFO

Come to Yemaya Festival and enjoy four mesmerising days and three luminescent nights of sensory enchantment, showcasing a superb calibre of music production talent amidst an abundance of psychedelic art. Accompanying the indulgences will be our Yemaya Stage, Ashaba Temple, Grand Bazaar, Healing Sanctuary, Creation Station, Live Jam Space, Art Gallery, Performer’s Hub, Workshops, and Live Art Installations.

Yemaya is a mother goddess, signifying home, fertility, love, and family. Her healing powers are carried in the great waters, her energy powerful during the ebb and flow of life challenges. Like water she represents both change and constancy, bringing forth life, protecting it, and changing it as is necessary.

We invite you on this journey with us to explore the depths of her unknown waters… from the wonders of the day to the playful mysteries of the night we welcome you to submerge yourself within the underwater world we have created for your pleasure. Through a plethora of aural and visual delights we hope you can find your light amongst like-minded souls who wish to have a nurturing space in which to explore, create, connect, and dance.

Together we can create a reality where growth, love, understanding, and happiness blossom.

DRUMMING CIRCLE

When the music shuts off on Sunday and Monday night we’ll be taking things tribal with a big drumming circle around the communal fire.
Bring your Djembes and instruments to join the jam or just leave your shoes at camp and join us to stomp the ground good and proper!
