FESTIVAL AVAILABILITY

Standard Volunteer Thursday 7/27-Saturday 7/29

The Event is 3 days

All Volunteers must be present for their scheduled shift time and any info breif/meetings if neccessary.

Depending on the needs and size of our crew, we will attempt to schedule volunteers to a max of 2 shifts per day (6 total). Shift times will be roughly 2 hours each. Thanks for being flexible and working with us as we dial in the exact schedule and logistic needs for this year!

All the rest of the time you are free to attend as a regular guest and enjoy the property, festival, classes, workshops, art gallery, and retreat center amenities! Yay!

We will make it a priority to minimize the time each volunteer is working a shift during class times so that you get the most enjoyment of the festival!

Your desire to attend a particular class/activity will be taken into account when creating the volunteer schedule!

Majority of assistance needed will be for checking in guests, cleaning and re-setting matts between classes, directing guests to accommodations, assisting with meal delivery, cleaning up after meals, being an extra hand for the Hi.AF crew during set up/break down for the Saturday Night Party, and general support as needed during the event.

Missing a shift(s) without proper notice or finding your own replacement, may result in a charge up to the remaining amount of the festival ticket. Just keep us in the loop and we will totally work with any special requests and needs!

Saturday Late Night Shift starts right after the closing night party ends (10pm) and continues untill all items are stored propertly and removed from the Blue Moon Room.

Sunday Morning Early Shift is 7am-11am. Final Touches on restoring and resetting the Blue Moon Room. Any remaining items removed or stored, matts removed/stored, and floors swept/mopped in time for the next event hosted by Kalani (Ecstatic Dance) that begins at 10:30am.
