Interfusion Festival returns to Crystal Gateway Marriott, Arlington, VA, Jan 14 to 18, 2027. Froligo tracks current ticket prices, attendee feedback and travel details.
What it stands for
The organisers describe Interfusion as a celebration of the human spirit and a grassroots, community centred creative project in which more than twenty percent of participants are involved in creating or servicing the festival. Its stated mission is to bring awareness of a collective of practices and modalities that promote an integrative approach to wellness, and its programme is framed as shared living art. Ten published core values and guiding principles cover integrity, respect, transparency, authenticity, playfulness, community, inclusion, mindfulness, accountability and curiosity. Consent is central and formalised: everyone entering the grounds agrees to a ten point Consent Code of Conduct, a consent team wearing lanyards is available throughout, and there is an incident reporting form and a consent committee contact
The experience
What's special
A five day indoor movement arts and wellness festival held over Martin Luther King Jr. weekend in a hotel convention space in Arlington, Virginia. Yoga is one of ten programme tracks rather than the whole event: the AcroYoga & Bodywork track sits alongside Healing Arts, Partner Dance, Intimacy & Sexuality, Care and Consent, Wisdom & Science, Conscious Communications, Expressive Arts, festival wide offerings and a large night programme. Daytime runs workshops from beginner to advanced with no partner required, and at night the space becomes eight social rooms with parties, an AcroYoga Night Jam, Candlelight Conversations and the Serenity Lounge running through to the small hours. Pass holders build a personal schedule in advance through the festival's scheduling system
What people love
Testimonials published by the festival describe it as a transformative weekend, praise the range of disciplines under one roof and the way people try art forms far outside their norm, and single out the community feeling: laughing, breathing, dancing, chanting and learning together
The practice
beginner to advanced. The festival says the programme is carefully designed for both individual and shared learning, from beginners to advanced offerings, and that no partner is required to participate because facilitators usually offer the option to rotate. It tells newcomers to look for offerings marked 'beginner' or 'all levels' on the full schedule when planning
Partner work blending yoga and acrobatics. Expect to fly, base and spot.
Long, passive floor holds that reach deep tissue. Slow, quiet and meditative.
Fully supported poses with props, built for rest and recovery rather than effort.
