We are a gathering point that unites individuals through holistic wellness practices, expanding universal consciousness and creating a transformative experience for all.

Universal Consciousness is a deep and profound connection that exists between us all.  It is a space where there is no division, no separation or difference.  Reestablish this connection within yourself through our five-day immersive experience.

 

Over the years, we have welcomed a collection of world-renowned experts in their fields to share wisdom and knowledge not commonly accessible.  This knowledge empowers you to take your health back into your own hands.  Whether you are navigating a health crisis and feel stuck, or are seeking to maintain your well-being, this event offers a platform for all to learn.  

​

We began this event in September of 2014, one year after the catastrophic flood in Estes Park and mudslide at Dao House.  During that time of chaos it was powerful to witness community come together to rebuild and support one another.  The Universal Consciousness Festival was born from that spirit - honoring community through wellness while recognizing a growing need for health.

​​

This event is a gathering point where we come together regardless of ideology, background or culture.  Through wellness, we find common ground - something that is healing in itself.  We open the space to all people, beliefs and practices that welcome health and transformation, supporting our growth into deeper connection with Universal Consciousness.

​​

Located in the heart of nature, this experience immerses you in a space unlike any other.  Surrounded by mountains in a valley known to the Native's as the Valley of Peace, you are undeniably in the presence of something greater than any one of us.  It is within this space - through what is held, what is shared and who gathers that transformation takes place.

​​​

We invite you to experience it for yourself.

This gathering is not a standalone event.  It is held within a greater body of work devoted to the cultivation of health, awareness and connection - rooted in Daoist principles and lived practice.

​

The Universal Consciousness Festival is supported by the Daoist Association USA, Inc. (DaoUSA), whose mission is the preservation and continued sharing of Daoist traditions, culture and philosophy throughout the United States and beyond.  Daoism is an enduring treasure of humanity—one that offers practical pathways toward balance, longevity and harmony with the natural world.

​

While the teachings of the Wu Dang lineage are a central thread, DaoUSA's work reflects the broader scope of Daoist philosophy and lifestyle.  Through education, community and experiential practice, it carries forward a tradition that is both ancient and deeply relevant—one that continues to support the same principles this gathering was created to embody.

​

This work continues beyond the days of the festival.  It lives through the teachings shared, the communities reached and the practices carried forward.  If you feel the value of what is being offered here, there is a way to support its continuation.

​

​

Your support allows this work to extend beyond the festival—sending practitioners into communities to offer accessible classes, and continuing the sharing of education and sacred knowledge from the mountain into the world.

​

This is not something that continues on its own.  It is sustained through those who recognize its value and choose to be part of its movement forward.

​

If you feel called to give, your contribution directly supports the growth, reach and continuation of this work.  We are grateful for your support—it truly makes this possible.​​​​
