Kitchen: Ticket Price $230 camping or $300 with a Dorm Bed.

This is the team of heroes! The kitchen is the heart of the whole festival. This is the most important team, without food, nothing will work. All other functions can be done on-the-fly but not the kitchen, it needs a team of dedicated heroes. With our awesome chef the kitchen is a workshop in itself, rocking it (literally) the whole day.

• • food preparation, chopping veggies etc
  • serving food, preparing or cleaning the dining area
  • logistics for the dishing station
  • your service time each day are in special shifts supporting the cook for each meal

Space Team: Ticket Price $280 camping or $350 with a Dorm Bed.

This team is feeling us organized and taken care of. They are the muscle of the festival. It is the force behind the scene that provides the foundation of our sacred container.

• • preparing, cleaning & clearing (energy and matter) spaces
  • setting up group rooms for workshops (mattresses, pillows, musician setup, sound support)
  • keeping common areas in buildings clean, like entrances, showers and bathrooms
  • your service time each day is spread out and can mostly be handled during break times
  • physical space keepers must be punctual and self-motivated

Setup Team: Ticket Price $280 camping or $350 with a Dorm Bed.

This team helps decorate the space at the start and at breakdown welcomes our festival-goers and keeps them informed about all the opportunities and procedures at the festival. If you connect easily with new people and are able to give clear and decisive instructions (including saying No!) then maybe this is for you. The benefit of this team is doing most of the work in advance and having free time during the festival.

• • Arrive early to assist with setting up the venue (physical space keepers are expected to arrive earlier to help with set up and accommodation is included for this)
  • Helping to decorate the space and also creating altars during the festival
  • welcoming arrivals, checking them in and give instruction on accommodation and parking
  • keeping up on the schedule and answering questions
  • this team requires long hours on arrival days and staffs the info desk during breaks

Love Angel/Assistant: Ticket Price $280 camping or $350 with a Dorm Bed.

This team is responsible for Emotional support and assisting workshops. You should have some experience in this area and be familiar with Tantra to apply and it is a special recruitment team and you will need approval from Organizers.

Our Festival team values are ease, communication, integrity, and the ability to be on time. We do expect you to be a great team player and to handle any personal growth work that comes up in a self-reliant way while also completing any tasks that are assigned to you. We do have a schedule and a specific roster of tasks and… we do expect the unexpected and trust that you will pitch in and handle the unexpected with us.

We are looking forward to creating and celebrating with you!

Thank you for stepping in and for your Yes!

Much love,

James Stevenson & the Awaken as Love Team
