Facilitate a Zone

Are you a space-holder, facilitator, or teacher of embodied transformation?

We’re inviting experienced community leaders and facilitators to help lead interactive spaces at the Evolve & Unite Festival.

​

Each zone focuses on a core theme — from embodiment and parenting to mental health and psychedelic integration. If you guide workshops, practices, or conversations that support healing, learning, and connection, we want to hear from you.

​

Zone facilitators help co-create and support these shared spaces, ensuring a welcoming, intentional experience for all who enter.

What It Means to Facilitate a Zone:

As a Zone Facilitator, you will:

​

  • Help co-design the vibe, flow, and experience of your assigned zone

  • Be a welcoming presence and guide throughout the day(s)

  • Lead or support scheduled classes, practices, or circles

  • Ensure your zone is held with intention, accessibility, and care

  • Collaborate with other facilitators, volunteers, and the Evolve & Unite team

​​

*Zone facilitators do not need a vendor booth — your role is to hold and support the experience within a shared space.
