Sponsor, present, vend or volunteer: four ways to contribute
Sponsor the festival
Align is calling in conscious brands and community-minded businesses who
believe in the power of movement, mindfulness, and meaningful connection.
Sponsorship is more than a logo on a banner, it's a relationship with a heart-
centered audience of 300+ wellness practitioners and changemakers.
- Brand presence across signage, programs, and social
- Sampling opportunities at the vendor village
- Co-branded session opportunities for top tiers
Once we receive your application, our team will be in touch to explore how we can bring your offering into this beautiful weekend of movement, healing, and community

We're looking for facilitators offering powerful, embodied experiences — movement, meditation, energy work, breath, creativity, or holistic education.
Programming is mostly curated by invitation, but we welcome a limited number of applications from teachers whose work aligns with our values.
- 500+ hours of teaching experience
- Experience leading large group sessions
- Current liability insurance
- Engaged community (nice to have)
