UPCOMING AND PAST
All events
Mark your calendar, and see where we have been.
Step into a space where short films become more than entertainment—they’re experiments in healing, imagination, and transformation. Each film was crafted to process real-world experiences, reimagine what’s possible, or spark new perspectives, offering a mirror for our own growth. After the screenings, join dynamic conversations with the creators and community leaders who shaped these stories, and explore how art can inspire courage, reflection, and the bold creation of the world we’re ready to step into together.
Step into a space where your story, your growth, and your brilliance take center stage. At Becoming Love Fest 2025, you’ll be guided by Nakeia Homer, 3x author, well-being educator, and creator of I Hope This Helps, as she inspires you to release what’s holding you back, embrace your full potential, and reclaim your life. This is your chance to walk away with the tools, insights, and energy to transform how you show up in your life, your relationships, and your world — alongside 20+ trailblazers in media, wellness, and storytelling who are shaping culture and possibility.
Your story is a sacred gift—and the key to unlocking your superpower. In this hands-on workshop, you’ll learn practical techniques to turn your lived experiences into a story that heals, inspires, and reaches others on a global scale. Discover ways to use your story to create impact, generate income, and unlock your purpose, all while stepping fully into your role as a visionary storyteller shaping culture and consciousness.
Families are the roots from which we grow, but some roots carry pain. This panel dives deep into reclaiming your story, reshaping self-concept, and redefining what family really means. Explore how to untangle generational trauma, nurture belonging, and build chosen kinship that fuels freedom, joy, and flourishing for generations to come.
What happens when we stop recycling the same tired scripts about love, family, and connection? This panel dives into what it really takes to create relationships that are free, expansive, and rooted in truth. Our speakers will unpack how to move past control and codependency into respect, autonomy, and soul-level care—for ourselves, our partners, and our communities. This is about building bonds that can hold the future.
In a world that often asks us to shrink, silence, or forget, Magnify Your Essence is a sacred invitation to expand, speak, and step into your power to reconnect with the truth of who you are. This transformational session is rooted in the belief that our stories—especially the ones we’ve hidden—hold the keys to our liberation. Whether you're seeking personal healing, creative inspiration, or deeper self-awareness, this is your space to be heard, seen, and empowered. This is your time to reclaim your voice, rewrite your narrative, and embody the power of you!
Step outside, take a breath, and let your senses be fed. Local food trucks will be serving up fresh flavors for every craving, while live performances bring soul, jazz, and spoken word to the air. It’s more than a meal; it’s a moment to connect. Grab a plate, share a laugh, discover new friends (or deepen old bonds), and let the rhythm carry you. This is your time to savor good food, vibe with incredible artists, and refuel your spirit before the next wave of inspiration.
Atlanta newlyweds Danielle S. Reed and Brian Lucien are excited to take the stage and lead a dynamic workshop teaching women and men how to share their love stories in a way that grows their business and brand. Learn how to leverage your vulnerability, stories, and personal experiences using social media and content creation.
Stories hold the power to shape our collective consciousness, to either trap us in cycles of pain or open us to healing and transformation. This panel dives into the controversy of “trauma porn”: media that exploits pain for shock or profit versus narratives that empower, restore, and inspire growth. Filmmakers, writers, and mental health experts explore how creators can responsibly tell true stories without retraumatizing audiences and how to find space for work that heals in today’s media landscape.
Our bodies hold the stories we’ve been told; stories of limitation, pain, and separation. This panel unpacks how reclaiming and rewriting these narratives can heal our cells, open our hearts, and awaken our innate power. Discover tools and practices to become the author of your own healing journey and embody the wellness of the new earth.
Step into your power and reclaim your divine truth. This panel centers on the magic and responsibility in your own story—the pen you hold to rewrite your life and, collectively, the world. Writers, artists, and visionaries share how embracing self-love and intentional storytelling can transform trauma into triumph and create new realities rooted in healing, resilience, and joy.
Begin your journey in the gentle rhythm of your own breath. Guided by Casey Mitchell of The Exhale Studio, this practice opens the heart and clears the spirit, inviting ease, clarity, and connection. With each inhale and exhale, you’ll release what no longer serves and awaken to the deeper wisdom within. This sacred breathwork becomes a bridge, aligning you with the collective heartbeat of the new world we are creating together.
Surrender to the healing waves of sound as they gently wash over your body and spirit. This sound bathing experience uses harmonious vibrations to dissolve tension, quiet the mind, and awaken your deepest sense of peace and connection. In this sacred sonic space, you become one with the unfolding rhythm of the new world we are lovingly calling into being.
As you arrive, leave the weight of the old world behind and step into the new one we are co-creating together. Feel the pulse of the festival through live rhythm and movement as artists welcome you into the space and call you back to your heart. Whether through drum, dance, or song, this heartbeat will guide you to let go of the noise, open your spirit, and move freely. Join in however you feel, clap, sing, sway, or simply be present, as we begin this journey together. Arrive early so you don’t miss a moment of the magic.
