lu·cent — /ˈlo͞os(ə)nt/
Glowing with or giving off light.
Let’s disconnect from the chaos and noise of life and instead get really present to the power of community.
Come immerse yourself in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains for the weekend and generate new friendships, feel alive and supported, try new things, get playful + be inspired!
Lucent reminds us of why we are here on this planet and to what matters most.
The 11th Annual Lucent festival is being hosted at star 6 ranch!
The Star 6 Ranch is a place that welcomes youth, families, individuals and communities, to reconnect with the rhythms of our natural world. Through our land-based programs, equine connections and community partnerships, we hold space for individuals to embark on journeys of self-discovery, healing, resiliency-building and growth.
Reconnecting in meaningful ways with land, community and self, guides people of all ages to hone their inner compasses, unearth their authentic selves, and discover that everything we need to thrive lies within.
We are thrilled to be hosting here again and cannot wait to welcome you to the land.
The Star 6 Ranch acknowledges that we live, work and recreate on sacred lands and traditional territories within the Ozade Îmne (Kananaskis) region. Alongside Mînî Thnî (Morley), on the banks of the Ozade Imne Wapta (Kananaskis River), in the presence of Îyâ Mnathka (Yamnuska), we take responsibility for understanding our role in reconciliation and honour the past, present and future.

YES! We know, you rrreeeaaaallllyyyy want to join us for LUCENT but are unable to stay the night. We have created a special SATURDAY ONLY ticket that does NOT include camping or Sunday morning festivities. Hopefully, you can at least stay for 1 cheeky S'more. If you would like to stay and enjoy the music and the market, you can also purchase a Day Pass NO CLASS option. This gives you free roam of the festival but NO access to any workshops.
