A Week To Remember!
As the sun sets on another unforgettable Woodstock Fruit Festival, we find ourselves filled with gratitude and glowing from the inside out. WFF2024 in Homestead, FL, was a testament to the vibrant spirit of our community and the joy of living in harmony with nature. Here are some highlights that made this year’s gathering truly special:
|
A Paradise Found (well, close to!)
|
|
Nestled in lush tropical landscaping, our swimming lagoon was the heart of daily life, providing a refreshing sanctuary. The beauty of our venue, combined with the smaller scale, fostered a deeper sense of community, making this year’s festival feel even more intimate and connected.

The festival was a paradise for fruit lovers, offering daily fresh coconuts, a sugar cane juice station, and a dance floor alive with vibrant energy. We indulged in the richness of nature with jackfruit, soursop, sapodilla, chocolate sapote, and Hawaiian papayas, alongside exotic bananas and several varieties of tree-ripened durian varieties to try, creating a true celebration of tropical abundance.

Nights Alive with Spirit and Song

|
Our evenings by the fire were a highlight, where talented musicians created a mesmerizing ambiance under the stars. The nightly fire-circles became the soul of the festival, where we shared stories, songs, and laughter, truly embodying the high-vibe tribe we are.

An Anthem of Togetherness
|
|
The festival anthem, “‘Ohana,” introduced by Atreya, became the soundtrack of our week, reminding us of our shared bond and the family we’ve found in each other.

Woodstock Weddings: Celebrating Love
|
|
The beautiful wedding of Lexi and Ray was a festival moment like no other, marking the third union celebrated at Woodstock. Their ceremony, against the backdrop of the lagoon and surrounded by friends, was a poignant reminder of the love that binds us all.

Diverse Activities for Body and Soul
|
|
Our days were filled with enriching activities – from playful AcroYoga with Phillip Nassen, blood-pumping Watermelon Workouts with Jeannette, and Salsa Dancing with Jillian and Grant, to the grounding practices of Qigong with Dr. Sam – there was almost too much to do! The Authentic Relating Games, and the deeply moving Angel Wash added unique layers of connection, discovery and healing.

A Community of Talent and Heart
|
|
The festival was alive with the sounds of talent that astonishes and delights. From Karaoke and Open Mic Nights to the Talent Show and the spontaneous jams during lunch and dinner, we were continuously amazed by the musical abilities within our community. It was incredible to witness people, some of whom had never before revealed their musical talents, stepping up to the mic and leaving us in awe. The level of talent amongst us is truly astonishing, highlighting the diverse and rich talents that each member brings to our festival family.
