The HEALING ARTS at LEAF offer a unique opportunity to create balance in your festival weekend. After dancing all YogaHandswebnight, camping, and walking all over camp to catch your favorite acts, you might need a little yoga, a massage or chiropractic adjustment, or a peaceful plant walk! Sample from various healing traditions, explore various holistic health modalities, with over 40 healing arts WORKSHOPS throughout the weekend, free of charge. In addition, practitioners set up healing arts BOOTHS (offered at a fee) where you can treat yourself to a thai massage, rolfing, or astrology reading, and more.

“What a FANTASTIC LEAF! I experienced a pinnacle of my Nia teaching career! Attendees were so ready to dance, open, play, connect, ground, and heal!  There was so much love and heart energy flying around, that a few folks, including myself, experienced tears of joy!  So, YES to LEAF!  YES to LOVE!  YES to COMMUNITY!  Life = Art! Thank you for making this experience possible and your commitment to Healing Arts! Peace!”
