Who this is for
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 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 participatory, energizing, and meant to be felt.

What to expect
The Stage - Story and Truth TEDx speakers sharing honest, lived truth, the kind that softens defenses, opens perspective, and helps you remember who you are.
The Floor - Embodiment and Connection Healers, guides, and artists circulate throughout the day offering breathwork, somatic practices, acro yoga, hands-on healing, and intuitive support.
The Sensory Intermission - 90 Minutes to Roam Midway through the day, the space opens. Move at your own rhythm, explore what calls you, or simply sit and integrate. Throughout the studio and outdoor spaces you'll find:
nourishing food and a shared grounding curry meal
ceremonial tea and cacao
acro play and embodied connection
intuitive and aura-style readings
aromatherapy
optional biometric study, where your nervous system data becomes visual art in real time
sauna and cold plunge with an outdoor lounge to decompress
The Un-Masquerade, a co-creative moment to release what no longer fits, gently shedding old masks and making space for clarity and embodied truth. Followed by a music-led dance integration where what's been released settles into the body.
The Sound - Frequency and Flow Led by EMER (Emer Kinsella) and Nathalie Bonin's luminous violins, a Viennese-style hybrid EDM set blends live strings with modern electronic frequency, transforming the room the moment it begins.
