We are incredibly excited to unveil the new lightship to you all: This year’s Entheos festival comes to an entirely new location . Shaking off all monikers and labels, moving into the future of new music, new earth new culture, Entheos embraces the many faceted mode of celebration, ritual, education and community. We are a grassroots electronic music festival with an incredible Vision, to bring not only the party to earth, but also the skills and the wisdom to make this culture sustainable. This is the new media culture: creators and crafters.

We bring you 3 dedicated dance music stages, offering a wide variety of musical styles, a full Conference offering workshops for body mind and spirit, a kids zone, a vending village, a food zone and much much more. Have a look around the site to see exactly what we are bringing to you this year.

This year’s Entheos festival has focused on cohesion as its goal. As a team we have been challenged to make this happen as a collective, to all have an equal say in how this gathering turns out. We all make this festival happen by volunteering, but the vision goes far beyond the grassroots. Our aim is to gain momentum to bring this vision to a wider audience. This year’s location gives us room to grow. The growth in our production, our crew and our vision have presented hurdles and leaps of faith, but it has led us solidly to the Nahatlach Valley, up the legendary fraser canyon, through sacred pathways to an expansive mountain field. The spirit of this land is deep and old. We come here with the intention to bring the intergalactic vibes to gaian ground in the most respectful manner possible. To acknowledge the solstice. To celebrate life.

This is more than a party. Entheos is an expression of existence. Beyond the festival is a world which can benefit from the wisdom and the power we generate in celebration and ritual. Entheos is about harmonizing our efforts, getting down on the dancefloor, rising up in spirit, and landing safely back home to return and tell the tales.

Welcome back to the Lightship.

*METATRON STAGE*
Representing the middle end of the spectrum, music that is neither too slow, nor too fast, but just right.
