The Venue
Heartland Collective is located outside of Grass Valley in Wheatland California, approximately 1.5 hours from the Sacramento Airport.
Heartland is an off-grid, 25-acre, lakeside regenerative learning center. They invite individuals and teams to join them on the land, focused on the 4 Heartland Pillars; OuterWork, InnerWork, Transformation, and Celebration.
Unleash! is deeply honored and grateful to bring our community back to this precious land for Unleash! Wonder 2023.
Closed Container
At Unleash!, we understand that radical self expression requires a strong, safe, closed container. As such, we have curated an experience that keeps this in mind. Additionally, we have a trauma-informed emotional support team onsite at all times.
To ensure the safety and sacredness of the container, Unleash! has specific times for entry. While participants may leave at any time, we protect the space by not allowing participants to come outside of these times.
Substance Free
Unleash! is a substance-free event, which means participants will not be permitted to be under the influence of any kind of drug or mind altering substance. That includes alcohol, tobacco, marijuana, mushrooms, LSD, MDMA, Ketamine, Hape, or any other plant medicines.
The truth is, you can get high off of LIFE, and you’ll experience that when you’re here with us!
