THE FLOWDOWN
Experience the magic of the Southwest Flow Festival at Gateway Ranch, just northeast of Flagstaff, Arizona.
The Southwest Flow Festival is an annual celebration of movement, creativity, and community. Each year, flow artists, fire spinners, dancers, and creators gather for a weekend of connection, learning, and play in the mountains of Northern Arizona.
Whether you are brand new to flow arts or a seasoned performer, you will find opportunities to grow your skills through hands-on workshops, inspiring performances, and live music that keeps the energy flowing all weekend.
Camp beneath the stars, dance in the fire circle, create art in the Creative Play Zone, and explore a festival environment built around curiosity and self-expression. The Southwest Flow Festival is beginner friendly and open to all ages, offering a welcoming space where everyone can feel included and inspired.
This gathering is about wellness in every sense of the word—spiritual, physical, mental, and relational. We invite participants to stay present, connect authentically, and care for themselves and others. Alcohol and substance use are limited to help preserve the clarity, safety, and peace that make this community special.
Gateway Ranch carries a calm and healing energy that defines all Sondering events. At SWFF, peace is our priority. We believe that letting go of fear, practicing vulnerability, and embracing play are essential steps toward growth and genuine connection.
When you leave the Southwest Flow Festival, you will feel better than when you arrived. Join us in feeling recharged, inspired, and part of a growing movement that celebrates flow arts and the creative spirit of the Southwest.
At the Southwest Flow Festival, everyone is invited to discover their passion for flow arts and the joy of movement.
Our community is open to all skill levels, from first-time beginners to experienced performers. Together, we learn, play, and connect in a supportive environment that celebrates curiosity, creativity, and growth.
The Southwest Flow Festival is more than an event. It is a gathering built on authenticity, presence, and wellness — a space to explore new skills, meet amazing people, and experience the uplifting energy of flow arts in the heart of the Southwest.
