Ascend

Ascend produces multiple events annually, from one-day events to weekend-long yoga and music festivals.  The beginnings of the Ascend Festival (formerly known as MAYfest) can be traced to the Catskill Chill Music Festival.  It was here that Melia developed a Wellness Village and yoga program, the popularity of which provided inspiration for what is now the Ascend Festival which combines a music festival “buzz” with the sacred vibrations of yoga and meditative practices.

“It combines everything I’m so passionate about,” says Melia. “Yoga, music, art, wellness and the community that’s growing from these interests, it just inspires me to dream of bigger and better things for Ascend
