Embrace the Return of The Conscious Festival!

Mark your calendars for the return of The Conscious Festival by Green Is The New Black in the Lion City from May 31 to June 2 and June 7 to 9, 2024, along with a special event on June 21. Following two successful Festivals in Paris, Europe, the eighth edition in Singapore will witness an exciting partnership with i Light Singapore, Asia’s leading sustainable light festival. This expanded edition over two weekends will transform Marina Bay into a cosmic playground, celebrating the powerful symbolism of light and its connection to enlightenment, awakening, and spiritual growth throughout ancient times.

Immerse yourself in mesmerizing light art installations, thought-provoking talks, practical workshops, soul-stirring music, and delectable zero-waste, plant-based eats. Join us as we delve into the depths of consciousness and awaken to something greater than ourselves, sparking transformative action.

While scientists assure us that we possess the technology to save our planet, it is clear that we are yet to embrace the enlightenment required to make it a reality. The Conscious Festival x i Light Singapore invites you to be part of a collective shift in consciousness, ushering in a sustainable way of life that reconnects us to each other and to the Earth. This urban, experiential series of events is dedicated to nurturing global healing, promoting conscious leadership, and uniting a community committed to preserving life and safeguarding the planet for a sustainable future.

Over the 7 immersive days in May and June, the festival’s renowned marketplace will showcase over 50 conscious brands. Attendees will have the opportunity to participate in transformative talks, wellness workshops, interactive art, and purposeful games.

Green Is The New Black, CEO Sean Lee Davies, expresses his enthusiasm, stating, “After the successful relaunch of The Conscious Festival last year, we are thrilled to collaborate with i Light Singapore this year to bring more awe and wonder to a wider audience in Singapore. This partnership will solidify The Conscious Festival as the premier sustainability and wellness festival in the city, showcasing Singapore’s potential to lead the world in sustainability and conscious living.”

Jason Chen, Festival Director of i Light Singapore 2024 and Director (Place Management) of the Urban Redevelopment Authority, also shares his excitement, saying, “We are happy to partner with The Conscious Festival and include their diverse and insightful offerings in our programme line-up for the milestone 10th edition of i Light Singapore this year. This partnership aims to elevate the festival experience, remind visitors of the importance of sustainable living, and inspire them to become better stewards of the environment.”
