People gathered around a campfire at night with a large red tent in the background.

Primal Arts Fest is a four-day, 21+ clothing-optional gathering that blends fire, ritual, art, education, and primal expression.

By connecting body and spirit, provoking spiritual evolution, and embracing the sacred and the profane, it invites participants to explore workshops, performances, sacred sexuality, kink, and body modification.

Built on consent, inclusivity, and risk-aware practices, the festival offers rituals, workshops, play-spaces, music, artisanal markets, and quiet moments in nature.

welcome

For as long as humans have circled firelight and followed the drum, we have sought what lies beyond the everyday.

To taste the edge of desire. To dance where flesh and spirit entwine. Primal Arts Fest is born of this ancient impulse, a place to remember what it means to be wild, awake, and whole.

Here, the arts of fire, ink, and ordeal are not spectacle but offering. Music becomes invocation, skin becomes canvas, and the body becomes a temple of both the sacred and the profane. Together we create a living ritual, where curiosity is honored, longing is explored, and knowledge is freely shared.

This gathering celebrates some of the most ancient and revered forms of art and expression, set within a risk-aware and conscientious community. Witness and share in fire performance, music, tattoo, scarification, suspension, ordeal work, sacred sexuality, kink, and more.

connecting

body and spirit

This is not an escape but a remembrance.
A return to what humans have always sought:
to know the self, to honor the body, to touch the mystery that lives between us.

provoking

spiritual evolution 

Primal Arts Fest is designed to transport you far beyond the ordinary, into a realm where your curiosities can be examined, your desires expressed, and your primal arts fully embodied. 

Your journey here is your own. Every workshop, class, and ritual is voluntary, guided by your comfort level. Choose from a wide array of offerings, or simply spend your day communing with the beauty around you. This is an event where freedom is not only honored, but essential.

In a world increasingly disconnected from the sacred, we recognize the need for spaces that challenge, transform, and ignite.

embracing

the sacred and

the profane

We are devoted to crafting an environment that is both risk-aware and sacred, where transformation can flourish.

At Primal Arts Fest, we hold consent as a core principle, and all staff, presenters, and attendees are held to the highest standards of respect and accountability.

For some, the days will be filled with workshops, connection, and play. For others, it’s about slowing down and resting in stillness with the trees and fire.

You’re invited to step into the experiences that call to you, always guided by choice and respect.

Nothing is demanded.
Everything is possible.
