The lineup for Sacred Wellness has finally arrived, and it comes packed to the gills with the stuff we love.
The wellness and educational retreat taking place February 8-11 at the Travelodge Hotel & Conference Center in Peoria, Illinois is bursting with talent from all over the midwest, southeast, northeast, and beyond.
You remember them from The Untz Festival, but appearing for the first time as a festival-headlining unit, put your virtual hands together for The TRIFINITY: Yheti, Toadface, and Mt. Analogue. These three gentlemen have been popping up all over the country this fall, but you know exactly where they'll be the second weekend in February 2018. Joining these festival headliners is Dixon's Violin, who is performing an indoor sunrise set in the atrium as party of Sunday's closing ceremonies.
Spankalicious has gathered the ThazDope Records crew, and they are looking mighty tough these days. Join SMITH., Eazybaked, Alejo, Psydell, Vusive, and more, along with the Toortous crew from Ohio, Alabama's Heady.Made.Weird gang, The Undergrowth from the Carolinas, Georgia's Slow & Low team, GuttaNation from Tennessee, and Collage Artists from Indiana. It truly is a team effort—a massive undertaking featuring some of the best bass crews in the country.
However, I cannot stress enough that this is a not a festival. Think of this as a retreat for your ears, mind, and body. Univibe is going to be easing your pain with yoga, reiki, and instructional classes all weekend long. ClearVoid, one of the most impressive VJ minds out on the circuit now (Shpongle, Space Jesus, EOTO), will be teaming up with ThazDope's LoDurr, to help aspiring visual masterminds learn how to build a projection-mapped stage from the ground up. Design it into reality.
Also, a plethora of musical workshops curated by the headliners of this event will be teaching folks who want to jump into the production game how to start from scratch. Want to learn how to DJ? Dying to produce but you don't know where to start? This is where you start.
Rooms will be available on a first-come, first-serve basis. Call the hotel to reserve your room for the weekend. Tickets are on sale now for this conference, and you can start poring over all the lists of classes now to get a jump on what you want to schedule into your weekend.
Tune into Spankalicious' Wellness & Sharing live show every night at 9:45pm EST on his Facebook page. Kevin Moore shares music, inspirational words, and of course will be plugging all the great events we're partnering on around the country together. He'll be sharing all the details about Sacred Wellness, as well give fans some sneak peeks as to what they might hear out in Mariposa, California next June.
