A Conscious Partner Dance Gathering

INTIMACY • RITUAL • CONNECTION • PLAY

OCT 22–26, 2026 · CEDAR SPRINGS RETREAT

Harvest Fusion Festival is an intimate partner dance gathering creating a culture of connection, sacredness, and play—this year at Cedar Springs Retreat Center in North Fork, CA.

No partner necessary. All levels and modalities welcome.

Come discover skills to enrich your language of partner dance and authentic relating. Join us for an exploration into connection and culture on the dance floor.

What kind of dance culture do we create?

Our Culture

Partner dance

Everything at Harvest grows from and returns to partner dance, as an art form, relational practice, communication language, and source of connection.

Honor Lineage and Evolution

We honor the mastery of established partner dance forms and use strong foundations to authentically explore what partner dance can become.

Attunement and Care

Consent and care create the trust from which freedom, creativity, intimacy, and meaningful connection can emerge.

Joy, intimacy and Eros

We honor the full spectrum of aliveness available through dance—from childlike joy and playful vulnerability to tenderness, sensuality, intimacy, and eros. We meet each dance without agenda: allowing connection to emerge authentically. We seek to serve the dance itself, not take from it.

Gather with Intention

Ritual, ceremony, nature, shared meals, music, celebration, and community deepen our gathering and help us arrive fully, connect meaningfully, and create something together.

Practice Beyond the Dance Floor

The skills we cultivate through partner dance—listening, trust, communication, creativity, consent, play, intimacy, and shared responsibility—can enrich our relationships and the communities we build beyond it.

CEDAR SPRINGS RETREAT

56887 Shinn Cabin Lane, North Fork, California 93643

Escape the everyday for an adventure at Cedar Springs — 92 acres of natural woodland in the foothills of the Sierras, 5 minutes from the town of North Fork and 40 minutes from Yosemite's south entrance. One hour from Fresno Yosemite International Airport, or 3.5–4 hours from the Bay Area.

At the heart of the land is Manzanita Lake, with a floating lakeside platform and kayaks for a peaceful paddle, plus a creek with several natural swimming holes downstream. Dancing and workshops unfold across Cedar Springs' open-air event tents and stage: Nirvana Cabana (900 sq. ft.), Cedar Sky (1,300 sq. ft.), Valley View (1,600 sq. ft.), and the open-air stage.
