Soul and Soil Project

The intimate nature-based music, arts, skill sharing & art making festival Glowing Fest will have their inaugural festival on May 8th through 11th at Woodlands Nature Reserve in Charleston, SC. The event was created to help support and uplift communities that were impacted by Hurricane Helene. Emotional and artistic expression in the form of an after care gathering is what Glowing Fest brings to the healing process as the event features many Musicians, Bands, Visual Artists, Healers and Workshop Facilitators from Western North Carolina that were impacted, devastated and will be woven into the experience. Much of the proceeds from ticket purchases will go directly to supporting artists and people that were impacted from the Hurricane, including a number of whom lost their homes, art studios, work or businesses. Donations from this Gofundme are to allow community members to contribute what they can in lieu of attending. Contributions are tax-deductible through our fiscal sponsor, 501(c)(3) non-profit Soul and Soil Project.

The dreams of organizer Ryan Oslance (Gator in the Atmosphere) are to bring people together to co-create a beautiful experience to strengthen community and broaden all of our connections and allow us to process and heal from this earth shattering event. It is life giving for artists to have a meaningful space and audience to share their work with and be seen, and with Glowing Fest we aim to facilitate the merging of worlds - introducing musicians, visual artists, creatives and community from different regions of WNC, Mexico, West Coast, South Carolina, New York and beyond. Glowing Fest is a container for people to meet and form new connections and collaborations.

Thank you so dearly from the bottom of our hearts for your support!
