đ¸ A Message to Our Lotus Community đ¸
This is one of the hardest things weâve had to share.
After putting everything we had into bringing Lotus Gathering to life this seasonâcountless calls, outreach, and efforts to secure the support neededâweâve made the difficult decision to pause Lotus for now.
This was not a decision we made lightly.
Weâre currently facing over $11K in essential costs (venue, production, and artist support), and despite our efforts, ticket sales simply havenât reached a level that allows us to move forward responsibly.
As a nonprofit event, our heart is in service to this communityâand part of that means honoring our commitments with integrity. We canât, in good conscience, move forward without certainty that we can fully support the people and partners who make Lotus possible.
We also recognize that this moment is bigger than just us. Many are navigating real economic and political pressures, rising travel costs, and uncertainty. Weâre seeing other conscious gatherings facing similar challenges.
So, as hard as it is, weâre choosing to listen. To the reality. To the timing. To what feels like the universe saying: not now.
But please hear this: This is not a cancellation. This is a rain check.
We donât yet know when or where Lotus will returnâbut we will be back. The outpouring of love, support, and messages from both new and longtime attendeesâsharing how much Lotus is needed as a reset, a portal, a space for deep healingâhas only strengthened our commitment to keep this alive.
And we will.
If you purchased a ticket, vendor space, or camping pass, there are several options:
⢠Full refund
⢠Rain check (credit) toward a future Lotus Gathering
⢠Or the option to support our return as a tax-deductible donation
Reach out and let us know what you'd prefer. And from the bottom of our heartsâthank you. For your belief. Your encouragement. Your presence.
Lotus has never just been an event. Itâs something we co-create together. And we will gather again. đ¸
