Dream it real…..
THE PURSUIT OF JOY, PLEASURE, ALIVENESS, AND CREATIVITY
Set in the heart of the lush Caribbean jungle of Cahuita, Costa Rica, Wild Essence Festival invites you to step into a celebration of life—an immersive experience where wellness, embodiment, music and pure joy dance together. Whether you’re seeking deep aliveness through mindfulness, play, or nature’s medicine, this transformative gathering offers three full days of powerful rituals, ecstatic music, healing workshops, and creative exploration.
Nestled on a beautiful 5-acre jungle homestead, just minutes from protected beaches, Jahman’s Land is an oasis of tranquility and vitality, designed to nourish both body and soul. This festival is more than just an event—it’s the beginning of a larger vision to support a vibrant community, restore the land, and create a lasting space for those who long to connect deeply with nature and themselves.
WEFEST 2027 is Season II because we had such a phenomenal time!
WHAT TO EXPECT:
Embodiment Workshops: Explore deep movement practices, from yoga and ecstatic dance to breathwork and sacred rituals, all designed to awaken your body, spirit, and creativity.
Ecstatic Music & Live Performances: Let the rhythms of the Caribbean and beyond guide you through unforgettable sound journeys, blending live music, world rhythms, and transformative beats.
Nature Immersion: Feel the jungle’s heartbeat through guided forest walks, meditations by the beach, and plenty of space to reconnect with yourself and the natural world around you.
Creative Expression: Engage in hands-on workshops and experiences that awaken your artistic potential—from art to performance to collective rituals that invite you to express the wild essence within.
COMMUNITY, CULTURE, CREATIVITY, NATURE, AND WELLNESS
All profits from Wild Essence Festival go directly to supporting the development of Eternal Roots Village, a beautiful sanctuary dedicated to uplifting both the local community and visitors. Here’s how your participation will contribute to this profound vision
RENOVATING A LOCAL B&B:
Our main house ~4000 SQ Feet is becoming a B+B with 3-suites with private bathrooms, a comfortable greeting area and communal kitchen where breakfast will be prepared. An outdoor kitchen is also in the building plans. Your ticket purchase helps us replace the roof and finish these rooms alongside 4 additional rooms in adjacent structures before moving on to Casitas.
BUILDING A SACRED SPACE:
With your support we have already created an event shala for 40 moving bodies to be held in the heart of the jungle homestead. As we progress we will build a second shala atop the main house.
AMMENITIES
Your participation will help us build guest casitas, a pool, eventually a fitness and wellness spa and so much more. We hope to also make a music studio for local and visiting musicians. You will also be helping pay local staff for all their needs.
SUPPORTING LOCAL CREATIVES
The festival will feature local musicians, artists, craftspeople and and creatives. They will be celebrated and supported, compensated both as guides/ teachers for the festival and by those who purchase their creations.
THIS ISN’T JUST A FESTIVAL
Don’t miss this opportunity to step into something that reaches far beyond a single gathering.
In the heart of the jungle we come together through music, movement, and shared presence while contributing to the living story of Eternal Roots Village.
This project is rooted in land, culture, community, and the devotion to create a place that will continue nourishing people for generations to come.
By joining us you are not only attending an event. You are participating in the unfolding of a vision that honors the land, celebrates connection, and plants seeds of beauty that will outlive us all.
Reserve your place and become part of the story.
Together we gather in Cahuita to help shape something meaningful that will continue to grow long into the future. 🌿
