What is UPLIFT?

UPLIFT is a joyful and deeply embodied festival, mindfully curated to inspire connection with community and inner self through dance, sound, and play!

Here we remember the wisdom of our bodies, childlike wonder, the power of laughter, and the beauty of real, meaningful connection.

Our vibe is a profound sense of homecoming — to yourself, to each other, and to the sacredness of shared experiences.

Why Menla?

Menla is more than a retreat center, it is an ancient, sacred land formed by a meteor impact 375-400 million years ago. Surrounded by mountains, streams, and forest, it’s a place where you are truly held and inspired by its richness. 

When you arrive, you may feel yourself exhale differently. The rich, vast energy fills you and calls for change. People are drawn to Menla. It is said deep transformation occurs to those who spend time on the land.

July 24th at 3PM to July 26th at 3:30PM | Menla | 375 Pantherkill Road | Phoenicia, NY 12464
