Overview Transcend Fest is a three-day yoga and wellness festival held on New England ski mountains, with workshops spread across seven locations on the hill and a Friday night that opens with a cacao ceremony and ends in a glow-in-the-dark dance party. In 2026 it ran two editions: Stratton Mountain in Vermont in July, and Powder Ridge Mountain in Middlefield, Connecticut, in September. The festival's own site credits Allie Dion as its creator, under the title Festival Creatrix. On site The days run on yoga and movement classes, wellness and spirituality workshops, meditation and sound healing, with the Mindful Market of vendors between sessions and DJ sets under the Transcend After Dark name once classes end. At the 2026 Connecticut kick-off Aria Nyx led the opening and cacao ceremonies, Selector Longenecker played a DJ set, DJ Taz Rashid hosted the dance party, and a botanical mocktail bar and intuitive readings ran alongside. Lunch is sold on site. At Powder Ridge people camp on the mountain in tents or RVs; at Stratton they stay in the resort's own lodges and condos a few steps from the festival grounds. It runs rain or shine, with shelter for workshops, and the festival aims to be plastic-free and asks for no glass. Audience The festival recruits through local studios. Transcend signs 22 local yoga and wellness studios as official studio partners, from Manipura Power Yoga in Brookfield to NOMAD Yoga and Barre and The Pilates Room, and they rally their own students for the weekend. Anyone 17 and under has to come with an adult, and wristbands allow people to come and go all weekend. Talent and Influencers The 2026 facilitators included Aria Nyx, DJ Taz Rashid, Yogi Bryan, Biana Mavasheva, Druminyasa, Mark Longenecker, Vedaji and Mountain Flower. Brand presence Sponsor tiers are named for the sky, from Galaxy, the presenting position, down through Nebula, Orion, Cosmo, Chiron and Comet.
