Beloved is a 4-day sacred art, music, and movement festival on the Oregon Coast. Beloved is a healing event, intended to experiment with new models for healthy culture. - In the troubled times in which we live, people become divided against each other and can more easily feel isolated and separated from the Soul of the World. At Beloved, we become a sudden, mystical community where everyone can feel the touch of spirit while also deepening the soul of community. - We respectfully present sacred music from diverse global traditions, acknowledging dance music as fitting into the broader context of sacred and healing music. Beyond a unique mix of sacred music from around the world, we offer interactive art installations, live painting, local organic cuisine, and educational programming—including workshops on yoga, healing, relationships, social and environmental justice, and the music and wisdom of ancient cultures. - -

Beloved is a 4 day camping, art and music festival on the Oregon Coast. We intend to present sacred music to help eradicate the illusion of separation from each other, the Earth, and The Beloved. We believe that the presentation of diverse expressions of sacred music at a single venue demonstrates their common Origin and our shared relationship as a global community of contemporary devotees.
