Our Mission

Guided by the values of our principles, the intention of Paradise is to generate community that connects each individual to their own creativity, to genuine participation, and to their truest selves.

Paradise Festival is a place for you to unplug from your day-to-day, reconnect to yourself and to community, and hopefully learn a few things along the way. Kindness, expression, and play are too often lost in the delicate balancing act that is life these days. Dive in with us.

The Principles of Paradise Ranch

Here at Paradise we follow a small set of simple principles that ensure we are all happy, healthy, and gaining as much as possible from the experience. These principles were crafted not to dictate how we should be and act, but as a reflection of our intentional community's ethos.

1. Always Be Kind and Considerate

   I will do my best to be kind and considerate to my fellow participants in all circumstances that may arise. I will do my best to be patient and understanding towards those I encounter.

2. Leave No Trace

   I will dispose of any and all cans, wrappers, and/or general trash in the proper trash cans located throughout the grounds. If I notice litter or other trash on the ground, I will pick it up and properly dispose of it. I will respect the land and natural beauty of the space I occupy.

3. Normalize Self Expression

   I will express myself to the max comfort level of myself and those around me. I will respect others' choices of self expression.

4. Have a Sense of Self Reliance

   I will come prepared with all things needed to take care of myself. I will ensure I have proper shelter, food, water and minor first aid needs. I understand that I cannot rely on others for my basic needs.

5. How Can I Be of Service?

   I will look for opportunities to help my fellow participants when they are in need. I will not be afraid to ask for help when I need it.
