Transcend Fest VT comes to Stratton Mountain Resort, Bondville, VT, Expected July. Froligo tracks ticket prices, attendee feedback and travel details.

What it stands for

The festival describes itself as a multi weekend gathering that expanded in 2026 to two mountains, and frames the Vermont edition as an elevated, immersive weekend where movement meets mountain. Its own copy calls the weekend a full nervous system reset, a soul recharge and an expansion portal, and says the lineup is curated for depth, expansion and mountain magic, gathering facilitators, yoga teachers, embodiment guides, musicians and spiritual leaders so that each offering deepens connection to self, to nature and to community. The stated intention is not consuming content but embodying transformation. The closing ceremony puts it as leaving the mountain with clearer vision, softer hearts, stronger boundaries and deeper devotion, carrying the weekend back into ordinary life rather than escaping it

The experience

What's special

The Vermont debut of Transcend Fest, held at Stratton Mountain Resort in the Green Mountains on the former Wanderlust site. The weekend opened on the Friday with a two hour Opening Portal ritual of land acknowledgement, breathwork, shamanic meditation and a drumming circle, then kirtan, then a late DJ set. Saturday and Sunday ran seven parallel tracks from 8:30am, spread across three base lodge rooms, a village commons, a living room, a Green Mountain Room and an open air yoga deck at the mountain top, with 77 sessions in all. The range is unusually wide for a yoga festival: Ethereal Vinyasa, Power Yoga, Kundalini, Buti, Acro Yoga, Capoeira, JourneyDance and a barefoot yoga dance party sit alongside numerology, tantra, Reiki, crystal and moon workshops, pelvic health and postpartum Ayurveda, self defence, foam rolling and a yogic discussion of artificial intelligence. Evenings turn into Transcend After Dark, with kirtan, an ecstatic dance journey, a Siberian shamanic fire ritual and a reggae sound system set

What people love

The one independent attendee account of the Vermont edition, written by a yoga teacher for All Mountain Mamas, praises the honesty and range of the movement programme across disciplines, and singles out the stillness rather than the movement as what stayed with her: a tantra workshop built on conscious presence and being witnessed, a sound bath that unwound long held tension, and a Kundalini class that ended with a full minute of deliberate laughter. She also describes the space between sessions as part of the design, with poolside conversations, a Mindful Market of handcrafted goods, massage and acupuncture without leaving the resort, acoustic musicians through the village by day and DJs with glow in the dark hula hoops at night, in bluebird weather among hundreds of mostly women

Last time around

The Vermont debut ran July 10 to 12, 2026 at Stratton Mountain Resort with 77 sessions across seven spaces and 61 listed facilitators, opening with the Opening Portal ritual and kirtan on the Friday and closing with the Embers integration ceremony on the Sunday afternoon

The practice

Who it's for

all levels. No formal fitness scale is published. Individual session descriptions carry their own guidance: several say 'designed for all levels' or 'open to all levels with thoughtful options and variations offered throughout', Acro Yoga 101 is described as a beginner based class where all levels are welcome, and Deep Rest states no meditation experience is required. Intensity across the weekend ranges widely, from Yoga Nidra inspired rest, sound baths and foam rolling to Power Yoga, Buti, Somatic SWEAT, Capoeira and partner acrobatics

Accessibility & comfort

What the organiser or venue publishes about getting around, and what they do not.

Disability accessThe festival publishes nothing on accessibility for the Vermont edition. There is no accessibility page anywhere on transcendfest.com, and the Vermont festival guide and FAQ page, a near duplicate of the Connecticut one, never mentions accessibility, ADA, wheelchairs, step free access, companion or carer tickets, ASL, quiet space or adaptive practice. The organiser's Vermont venue page says the festival uses seven separate workshop locations across Stratton Mountain Resort but describes no route, gradient or surface between them; this is a large alpine ski resort, so distance and slope between those seven locations is the central unanswered question, and mat on slope is exactly the detail this page cannot answer. The organiser does say all accommodation is on site, just steps from the festival grounds, with easy access and ample parking. Treat that as lodging marketing rather than an access statement: it gives no distance, no gradient, no surface, and easy access is not defined. Service dogs are welcome. One important gap, stated plainly so it is not mistaken for an absence of provision: the venue's own site, stratton.com, could not be read. It sits behind an Imperva bot wall that serves a human verification challenge in place of the page, and the Internet Archive capture of the resort parking page recorded that same block page, so no venue accessibility detail could be confirmed at source. Stratton Mountain Resort may well publish accessible parking and step free routing information; we simply could not reach it. Phone the resort about accessible parking, step free routing between base areas, and whether any lift, gondola or resort shuttle is accessible. Nothing is published by the festival on accessible toilets or showers, accessible camping, companion or carer tickets, ASL or other interpretation, quiet or low sensory space, chair yoga or adaptive sessions, or teacher modifications
AgesAnyone 17 and under without an adult will be turned away at the gate, and children who attend must remain under their guardian's supervision for the duration of the event
ChildrenChildren are allowed with a supervising adult. No child ticket tier was named for the Vermont edition

What it costs

Transcend Fam (VT AND CT)$375.32Covers BOTH the Vermont and Connecticut editions, per the ticket name on the official checkout; includes a $25.32 fee. Captured live from the Connecticut Eventbrite checkout on September 3, 2026, because it is not sold on the Vermont checkout. Not a Vermont only pass.

PRICING IS INCOMPLETE FOR THIS RECORD. The Vermont Eventbrite event closed after the July 2026 edition and now exposes no ticket classes, no price range and no archived capture, so no Vermont only figure could be captured verbatim from a real checkout. Ticket names are recorded from the official Vermont tickets page and the Eventbrite listing; The single priced line is the both editions Transcend Fam pass, captured from the Connecticut checkout

Festival passes (Single Day Pass and Full Access Weekend Pass) are sold through the official checkout, where the current prices are shown.

What to bring

A full weekend of practice is easier with your own kit. What earns its place in the bag:

Yoga Mat
Pen And Paper (For One Session)
Personal Headphones (Optional, For One Session)
Four rolled cotton yoga mats in pink, yellow, blue and blackYour own mat

Rentals sell out and shared mats are thin. Bring a grippy, cushioned mat you trust for a full weekend of practice.

Shop options
Four reusable water bottles in a rowWater and electrolytes

Vigorous flows plus dry, high-altitude air dehydrate fast.

Shop options
Stack of folded flannel shirts in blues and greensWarm layers

Studios and shade run cool between sessions even when the sun is hot.

Shop options
Recovery and comfort. A three day festival on a Vermont ski mountain in July, with sessions running from 8:30am to 11:00pm on the Saturday, so most people practise several times a day and stay in resort lodging a short walk from the venues. The programme builds in recovery deliberately: scheduled BREAK slots between every session block, a lunch hour, a dedicated foam rolling class using Rollga rollers provided on site, and a restorative strand (Deep Rest, Release, and Rewiring, delivered through headsets on site, Quiet Beneath the Chaos: Deep Stretch and Reset, Sleep Better Live Better, and several sound and meditation sessions) alongside strenuous Power Yoga, Buti, Somatic SWEAT, Capoeira and Acro Yoga classes. Sessions run indoors across three base lodge rooms and outdoors on a mountain top yoga deck, so layers and sun protection suit the July setting. One attendee account describes leaving 'sore in all the best places'

Shop links may earn Froligo a commission; they never change the price you pay.

Teachers & presenters

Roster from the July 2026 edition, the Vermont debut and the most recent held; no 2027 roster is published. Names and profile URLs are from the Vermont Sched tenant only. The home page featured presenter strip is shared across both editions and four of the presenters it names are Connecticut only; they are excluded here

Plus the rest of the 63+ teachers, practitioners and speakers across the weekend.

The Vermont vendors page introduces these 39 names as vendors who joined in 2025, which cannot be literally correct because the Vermont edition debuted in 2026. The list is distinct from the Connecticut vendor roster. Treat the names as the Vermont market roster and the year caption as unreliable, pending organiser confirmation

Mindful Market

The festival calls the Mindful Market the central hub of the festival and says it features over 50 vendors. It is open to the public, Saturday 9:30am to 6pm and Sunday 9:30am to 5pm. An attendee account describes handcrafted jewellery, botanical skincare, wellness products and art from dozens of makers, with massage and acupuncture available at the resort
