"Barefoot and Free Festival is a fantastic example of what’s possible when multiple wellbeing practitioners come together to host a “choose your own adventure” style retreat! I participated by hosting a session as well as participating in the event. As a yoga teacher (session host), I found the event communications to be very helpful leading up to the festival and I was well-prepared to lead an experience that aligned with the themes of the overall event! As a participant I had so much fun being outdoors, practicing yoga with friends and participating in SUP yoga. The event was beautiful and I hope to participate again in the future!"

"Excellent teacher for learning Ashi"

"I love barefoot and free it’s an amazing time so many things to do and sometimes it’s overwhelming cause it’s sooooo many things to do you feel like you miss something. That for me takes away from the freeness as I’m not able to just be I must plan to be so I can make it to all the amazing things that are offered. The vendors and the food it’s a kapayaw of amazingness and camping with like minded peeps! "

"Barefoot events are so much fun and has a great community. Always good vibes when around these events! truly appreciate Beth for putting them together 🤍"

"I love the Barefoot and Free Festival and look forward to it every summer. The location is beautiful and peaceful, the offerings truly feel like there is something for everyone, and the community feels like family. It is such a special and deeply meaningful experience.

I have always admired Beth James, the owner of BFF, and the way she shows up in her business. When I heard about her Embodied Leadership Course, I immediately knew I was meant to be part of it.

Through this course and Beth’s mentorship, I learned so much about myself and gained clarity around the direction of my business. More than anything, it gave me the confidence, skills, and voice to step fully into my calling.

I highly recommend the Barefoot and Free Festival and working with Beth. Investing in yourself and your growth is truly life-changing. Your future self will thank you."

"If you’re looking for a premium yoga festival that stays true to its roots, Barefoot & Free is it. The variety of experiences is incredible, and the organizers clearly go above and beyond to ensure everything is perfect. It’s an amazing way to recharge and meet like-minded people. Highly recommended!"

"No exaggeration to say Barefoot n Free changed my life for the better! It's definitely the one sacred weekend each year. I will move heaven and earth to attend every year in whatever form I can!"

"Beth is life-changing. Body, mind and spirit. I really can't say enough wonderful things about the impact she has had in my life. "

"Barefoot and Free is just what it reads times one million. It's trees and people and music and movement and healing and nourishing food and joy. It's a vibrant vendor village with a balance of wonderful Vendors from all over the country and of course local favorites. It's community and reconnection. And it's yoga. All kinds. Yoga to free your mind, inviting calm and quiet. Yoga to soothe your soul and bring you closer to yourself. Yoga to move you and remind you of your magic. It's an incredible opportunity to explore different yoga modalities delivered through inspiring A level teachers and healers, all in one place for just one weekend every summer. And after 11 years as a vendor here, I can tell you that every year brings a new experience because every year, you bring a new you. I can't wait to see you!

Let's be Barefoot and Free.
Love,
Melissa from Yogistoned"

"Great energy! "

"Soul nourishing!! 10/10"

"I have been attending Barefoot & Free from the very first one, 11 years ago. I also attend at least 8-15 festivals a year as a Vendor for my company YogiStoned. So let's just say I understand what a well run, well attended and well received yoga festival is - and Barefoot truly is one of the very best in class. A 3-4 day yoga festival brings something for everyone. The teachers and practice offerings span across various methodologies and modalities of movement and healing. From breath work to body work, restorative and meditation, allowing all levels of experience to show up and feel changed/improved/lighter/softer/stronger. You get my drift. ;) If camping or glamping is your vibe, your covered. Hotels are nearby too, so if you're an out of towner or out of stater, come. Come for one day. Come for 3. Come for you. You will leave with everything you need to continue the journey with more confidence, connection and community.
Love,

"Barefoot and free yoga festival- VIP bunkhouse 2025-
This was my second time attending, and it’s becoming such a special annual mother-daughter tradition. I can’t say enough wonderful things about Barefoot and Free! Beth has created a truly safe, fun, and soul-nourishing space filled with heart, community, and meaning. The energy of everyone there is incredible, it’s so easy to connect with strangers who quickly start to feel like lifelong friends.This year was extra special, I got to really see my mom, and watch her reconnect with the woman she is outside of being ‘mom.’ We shared so many powerful and meaningful workshop moments together that I’ll cherish forever.There are endless workshops, amazing healers, vendors, live music, and delicious food. I plan to return every year, it always leaves such a deep and lasting impact on my heart and the inner work I’m doing."

"Great event! "

"Beth is amazing! She creates wonderful atmospheres where people are free to be themselves. I love her events/retreats and will continue to go! "

"Love the experience except for campers were treated as 2ND class citizens for transportation and there were no showers."

"I've attended Barefoot and Free for the past three years. I will keep coming back! The offerings are top notch and I enjoy meeting people who also want to be Barefoot and Free!"
