Elevate
This event has passed.
Unity Coalition's ELEVATE festival returns for its 10th edition on Saturday, May 18. Held at the Elaine Gordon Enchanted Forest Park in North Miami, this free event offers a day of workshops, activities and inspiration all centered around the theme of being nicer - to yourself, others and the planet.
Enjoy a festive day of good vibes, with a healthy dose of self-care thrown in for good measure. Explore a variety of 45-minute sessions on topics like health, wellness, meditation and creativity. Get crafty in the Crafts Pavilion, unleash your inner poet or writer, or take a dance class. Learn about the history of the Tequesta people who inhabited the land, or visit the Life Coaches and motivational speakers for a dose of inspiration.
The whole family can enjoy the day's festivities. There will be horse stables for pony rides, a Health & Wellness Village with onsite healthcare testing and a variety of food vendors to keep you fueled. The park itself offers beautiful nature trails and picnic areas, making it a perfect place to spend a day outdoors.
Here's a sneak peek at some of the exciting activities happening throughout the day:
- All Day: Enjoy sounds by DJ OREN NIZRI, explore the Green Village with local artists and vendors, or visit the Equestrian Village.
- Creative Activities: Unleash your creativity with sessions on painting in the forest, jewelry making and plant propagation.
- Health & Wellness: Immerse yourself in the Health & Wellness Village, participate in a mindful movement yoga session or get inspired by Life Coach Harry Lopez.
- Performances & Culture: Hear live music by the Miami Gay Chorus, experience a traditional Caribbean dance class or witness a land cleansing performance by the AMEYAL Mexican Cultural Center.
