The Soulestial Carnival will be returning this Winter for a special fundraiser for our Sister, Barbara Doux - The Wander Woman. After recently being diagnosed with Stage 3 Thyroid Cancer and the subsequent surgery to remove her thyroid, Barbara is on the road to recovery. For those that know Barbara, she is selfless, effortlessly-giving, and fiercely independent. It is this will and lionheartedness that we first fell in love with about her. While we aren't doctors, we do have a platform to help her heal and celebrate. On December 1, we will gather for an evening of ceremony, art, and dancing under the stars on our grass dancefloor! Together we are stronger than we are alone. With love and gratitude, all proceeds will be donated to her gofundme to help with the inevitable bills while she's on the road to recovery. For those of you that can't make it and for those that want to donate right away, follow this link to her gofundme page set up by her wonderful friend Zohra:

The Soulestial Carnival boldly returns in 2018, featuring sets by Kell Bill (Desert Hearts Records), Deep Tribe (Noise Revolt / Wulfpack), Yair (Borderless Project), and Spirits and Soundwaves! Also returning will be our Healing Sanctuary - with a special Full Blue Moon Ceremony, along with live and showcased art curated by Brigitte Charlotte Art, beverages, vendors, and food for purchase from Nikki's Table. Join us for an evening of ceremony, art, and dancing under the stars on our grass dancefloor!

This event will be FREE admission as a thank you for a spectacular 2017! Our Oxytocin and Lotus events were beautiful representations of what we are building together, so the Soulestial Soirée will be our gift to you as we prepare for an abundant and transformational 2018. As always, our event will be at our open-air venue with a grass dancefloor - a true gem in the heart of the city.

::Connecting with Each Other through Music, Art, and Love::

Consequently, this event will also be the celebration of the union of the Yin and the Yang of the Soulestial Carnival. With Joe Giuliano moving into the other side of the Soulestial House, him and Alejandro Luna will both be living, breathing, and planning Soulestial full-time. That synthesis together with the upcoming arrival of the youngest member of the Soulestial Family - the birth of Zelina Medina's baby girl - you can expect big things to come in 2018!

"You can't have the flower without the mud."

Deemed "the bud of potential," the Lotus blooms in the most unlikely of places. Able to submerge itself into the muck and grime, the Lotus flower revives itself unscathed. This incredible daily cycle of life, death, and sudden immaculate rebirth can only be described as spiritual. The logic-defying Lotus is associated with divine Soulestial symbolism: an almost implausible yet fascinating will to live, the infinite petals of self-discovery, and an unfaltering resilience of the spirit. Free from attachment, we are all the Lotus. Celebrate your vitality and creativity. All are welcome within the illuminating embrace of the Soulestial Carnival.

Oxytocin – the hormone of Love and Connection – is a behind-the-scenes operator, chemically directing our every interaction with those around us. Flooding our brain with all of the aspects of a high school romance or an overacted telenovela, this drama unfolds thanks to our almond-sized inner thermostat known as the hypothalamus. With a little Soulestial Guidance and a whole lot of Conscious Intention, we can direct this sacred dance of Warmth, Positivity, Trust, and Manifestation. In this time of confusion and constant questioning of the world around us, trust your own Chemistry to guide you on the right path. The red beating heart above our gates at the Soulestial Carnival awaits you with welcoming arms.

As we've watched the recent events surrounding the Dakota Access Pipeline and its impending effect on the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe of North Dakota unfold, we at Soulestial Carnival have partnered with a selection of natives, speakers, artists, and musicians - all with the common goal of spreading awareness and raising funds to protect the water and land surrounding the pipeline.
