We're having difficulty containing our excitement for The Untz Festival, which returns to beautiful Mariposa, California the first weekend of June. While the music lineup is getting a lot of attention, we wanted to turn our fans' attentions to our other offerings which have been exciting us just as much. Our stunning roster of artists is only part of the story, as the fine folks at STL Moon Tribe have climbed on board to curate our overflowing schedule of wellness, education, and spirituality workshops.
On both Saturday, June 3 and Sunday, June 4, programming will run at the STL Moon Tribe area ranging from yoga to meditation to cacao ceremonies to dream interpretation. A stunning assembly of yogis, philosophers, reiki experts, and nutritionists will help center, calm, and rejuvenate our fans from 8am to 8pm both days covering a wild assortment of topics.
Well before we're able to release our music schedule, and even before our full lineup is complete, we at The Untz are thrilled to bring festivalgoers a sneak peek at what will be happening at our health and wellness workshops throughout the weekend, and give fans a chance to "meet" our fine lineup of experts.
