Northern Nights Festival 2023

 

July 14-16, 2023

 

Cook’s Valley Campground

Piercy, CA

 

Northern Nights is a 3-day boutique camping and music festival straddling the Mendocino – Humboldt County Line at Cook’s Valley Campground. The lazy Eel River and towering Redwood forests form the picture-perfect backdrop for premier musical talent on four stages, jaw-dropping art, thought-provoking workshops, nightly burlesque, comedy, yoga, and industry-leading sustainability initiatives.

 

Connecting music and nature, Northern Nights Music Festival is one of the most sought-after events held at Cook’s Valley Campground in Northern California. Promoted as a music and arts, camping, yoga and cannabis retreat, the festival features a varied lineup of primarily electronic artists. Still a small festival by industry standards, Northern Lights tops out at 6,000 attendees. The selective attendee limit and festival grounds play a large role in Northern Nights success. The campgrounds are home to swimming holes and the largest Redwood grove in the nation where camping is allowed.

Movement Medicine is a powerful embodiment practice for our times. Fundamentally it is a moving meditation where we bring movement and awareness to our bodies and our hearts and minds. By bringing awareness into the body we come into a deeper relationship with ourselves and each other. This is a powerful path to truly stepping into our greatest potentials in life.

As we come into an embodied relationship with our bodies we can release many of the old patterns, emotions and beliefs that have been stored in our system and open to new possibilities. By freeing up and accessing the intelligence of our body we allow the intelligence of life to move through us and guide our thoughts, actions and ways of being beyond our conditioning and inherited modes of existence.

In a world where we are generally telling our bodies what to do, it is a revolutionary act to be guided by the intelligence of our body. In my understanding, this is the same practice that we need to embody in our relationship to the Earth we live on.

Ben works with breathwork and embodiment practices to support you to breathe, move and live into your full potential. In essence Ben’s work is about holding space and providing guidance and support for you to be your own healer and leader. He is deeply committed to showing up and playing his part in theses pivotal times we are living in.
