About ExplO+re Wellness:
ExplO+re Wellness Sessions are the public-facing wellness component of the annual O+ Festival. Our community can experience different modalities, meet new teachers, explore new wellness practices, and get inspired.
ExplO+re Sessions typically last one hour and include movement, mindfulness, nutrition, and other approaches supporting health and well-being. We have held a variety of sessions, including gong baths, medical marijuana 101, yoga, somatic movement workshops, and even classes on financial wellness for creative professionals. Explore Sessions are available to all festival attendees, artists, musicians, and volunteers and are included alongside all other programming in the festival schedule. Selected ExplO+re practitioners and facilitators are offered full access to the festival, meals in the green room, and one clinic service in exchange for their effort, offering, and expertise.

- Provide housing for visiting artists and performers
- Sign up to work during the festival, happening October 6-8, 2023
Housing and festival volunteers play an integral role in moving the O+ mission forward and supporting the health and well-being of the Kingston community. Interested? Get more information and submit your application today!
