Lake Eden Reunion + "Live Life Like a Festival" Book Launch

For 80 years, this land at Lake Eden has been a gathering place for artists and families, and 45 years a festival destination. A place where strangers become life long friends, music rises up through the trees, tears and laughter happen while dancing or sitting quietly by the lake. This places holds our memories and traditions while creating space for new ones and younger generations. A place that transforms lives and creates new possibilities.
In 2026, we come home. Jennifer & Nave are launching their commemorative coffee table book, Live Life Like a Festival, celebrating 30 years of LEAF (Lake Eden Arts Festival) at Lake Eden. This reunion is its celebration bringing to life traditions we love while dreaming and playing to see what emerges for the next legacy gathering to carry us into the future. Grey Eagle Music Hall, the original host of festivals at Lake Eden 1983-1989, are collaborating to curate music and be the ticketing partner for your passes. Visit https://lakeedenretreat.com/reunion/ to RSVP and reserve your place -limited to retreat size of 1700 wonderful beings. Details will emerge as we dream and plan with a spirit of ease and joy.
We welcome volunteers who would like to exchange their time and presence for weekend passes! Please visit our volunteer signup portal for more information: https://lake-eden-retreat.volunteerlocal.com/volunteer/.
Three days, one land, a thousand heartbeats and unlimited dreams and moments of happiness. This is for every person who has a connection with this special place at Lake Eden and for people seeking a new belonging.
