JOY FEST LA ~ An Un-Masquerade
A Full-Day Experience to Transform And Evolve
Learn. Breathe. Eat. Dance. Reconnect.
Joy Fest LA is a one-day, live gathering that blends powerful Tedx speakers, immersive healing experiences, and live musical performances.
* Limited early bird tickets available at $100. Pricing increases on March 6, 2026.
Joy Fest LA is for thoughtful, growth-minded people who live full lives and are doing “fine” on the outside, yet feel a steady pull for something more honest, grounded, and alive.
This isn’t for those looking for just a party or a quick fix.
Expect depth without heaviness, celebration without chaos, and a day that feels alive, not preachy or performative.
This is not a sit-and-listen wellness event. It’s participatory, energizing, and meant to be felt.
The Stage ~ Story & Truth
Be inspired by TEDx speakers sharing honest, healing, lived truth ~ the kind that softens defenses, opens perspective, and helps you remember who you are.
The Floor ~ Embodiment & Connection
Throughout the day, Maestros of Healers, Guides & Artists circulate and activate the space through hands-on healing, breathwork, somatic practices, acro yoga, movement, and intuitive support ~ offering grounding, play, release, and moments of real connection.
The Sensory ~ Nourishment & Vibe
The experience is supported by intentional sensory elements designed to regulate, open, and ground the nervous system.
• Ceremonial tea & cacao
• Whole Harmony Chakra-inspired elixirs
• Light bites and a shared, grounding meal
• Alive Water, fruit, and integration support
The Sound ~ Frequency & Flow
Music shapes the arc ~ from ambient tuning and highly curated pulse to live strings, building rhythm, and embodied joy.
Led by Emer and Nathalie’s luminous violins, a Viennese-style hybrid EDM set blends live strings with modern electronic frequency ~ a high-vibration collaboration that transforms the room the moment it begins.
The Un~Masquerade
A co-creative, elemental moment inviting you to release what no longer fits ~ gently shedding old masks and making space for clarity, coherence, and embodied truth.
The Un-Masquerade Dance
A music-led integration where movement, rhythm, and joy allow what’s been released to settle into the body ~ shared, grounded, and alive.
Something meaningful will shift. You won’t leave the same.
