The Fifth Element happens in Puerto Rico on Jan. 7-13. In addition to the music, the fest will also offer yoga, breathwork, sound baths and other “healing ceremonies and workshops.” This focus on wellness is a core focus of The Fifth Element, which was created by Phillip Pulitano, who also co-founded the longstanding BPM Festival. (Pulitano is no longer involved with BPM.)
Speaking to Billboard about The Fifth Element in May, Pulitano said he came up with the idea during an ayahuasca ceremony, an experience that made him want to create a festival that was about more than just partying.
“I knew I needed to figure out a way to create a hybrid experience in dance culture,” Pulitano said. “Not going for a super hippie vibe that plant medicine can be… but doing something that’s in service and creates a bit more awareness and brings more consciousness to what we’re doing.”
As such, The Fifth Element will also host a Sacred Space, a “wellness sanctuary” being curated by the Above & Below Collective, a group of artists, therapists, facilitators, and health care professionals that will host ceremonial gatherings, guided workshops and integration sessions led by reputable facilitators from a variety of healing traditions.
The Fifth Element is offering both seven and three day passes, both of which are available here. Discounted tickets are being offered to residents of Puerto Rico.
