Local restaurants will offer vegetarian street food tents on site for a fully immersive gathering of activities.

Learn from great teachers
We’ll explore potential answers to "What's After Mindfulness" through a mix of talks from world-renowned teachers, meditation, yoga, and a community of festival partners putting the Buddha's teaching into daily practice. Together, we hope to begin to move beyond mindfulness to cultivate wisdom and compassion and truly connect with the world in which we live. Learn various forms of meditation techniques and practices from diverse traditions and cultures embracing the core teachings of this ancient wisdom. Come meet masters and teachers from Theravada, Zen, Mahayana, Vajrayana, Tibeten, Jodo Shinshu, Heartnfulness, and Insight Meditation.
