What is Spiritfest?

Since the summer of 2010, Spiritfest has brought people together to co-create & build community.

 

Directed by David Berger & Shara Claire, this weekend retreat welcomes folks of all ages to the beautiful Mansfield Outdoor Education Centre, 1 hour NW of Toronto, which boasts 300 acres of land, a swim-friendly river, horses, and a pool.

 

Most meals are taken together, and we have catered and bring-your-own food options. Accommodations are in modest cabins or your tent/camper/trailer. Activities include a variety of scheduled creative, healing & contemplative workshops during the day, and performances & jams in the evenings. There is ample time for swimming, horseback riding, time with new & old friends, and refreshing walks in the forest.

 

Additionally, part of Spiritfest’s mandate is to encourage our participants to step up and offer a workshop or activity that inspires them while in attendance. We leave space for spontaneous offerings!

 

Participant numbers range from 90 - 120—an intimate but lively village. Children and families are welcome and encouraged. Child-friendly activities are offered throughout the day.
