In celebration of the Summer Solstice, Soultry Sisters host an annual Arts + Wellness Festival. Our three-day festival highlights BIPOC, women, and queer artists and wellness practitioners based in San Diego. We collaborate with them to build our festival program that includes creative expression classes (dance, creative writing, visual arts), wellness workshops (yoga, meditation, sound healing), and performances (musicians, singers, DJs, spoken word artists, dancers). Our festival aims to showcase diverse local creatives and how access to arts & wellness resources contributes to our social, emotional, mental, physical & collective health. By curating a meaningful and intentional festival, we can connect to the local Carlsbad community while centering creative expression, personal development, holistic wellbeing, and communal care.
