General Admission

This all-access pass opens the door to the complete journeyโ€”from our opening moments on Thursday evening through the closing experiences on Sunday. Move at your own rhythm as you engage in workshops, music, movement, shared meals, spontaneous expression, and meaningful connection.

As the gathering draws near, the energy builds. This is your invitation to say yesโ€”to yourself, to community, and to the experience waiting to unfold.

Check-In Opens: Thursday at 2:00 PM
Arrive, settle in, and step into the unfolding experience.

Your wristband grants you access to all event offerings throughout the weekend.

Tent camping tickets are available as an add-on below. These tickets provide access to a shared group campsite reserved for our community to offer the best overall value. If you prefer a private campsite, you may reserve one directly through the Zion Ponderosa Ranch Resortย website. The promotional code for 20% off private campsites is YonF20.

All other lodging accommodations โ€” including RV hook-ups, glamping sites, cabins, tiny homes, and luxury homes โ€” are also reserved directly through the Zion Ponderosa Ranch Resortย  website. Click โ€œPromotional Codeโ€ and enter YOF26 for 50% off RV sites and all other lodging. This offer is valid through June 30, 2026.

Valid: Thursday, September 17 โ€“ Sunday, September 20, 2026

Come as you are.
Co-create what unfolds.
Leave connectedโ€”to yourself, to others, and to something greater.

Add Camping (Optional)

Each person who plans to camp needs to purchase a camping ticket in addition to their event ticket. Camping is not an option for those purchasing a one-day pass. This year, the venue will be open to the public, and there will be other campers, not with our group. We have reserved the large group campsites so that we can cluster together and offer camping at a very reduced rate. When you purchase a camping ticket you will be assigned a group site number. We will fill group sites one at a time. You can tell your friends to get their camping tickets right away so they can camp with you in the same site. If you don't want to be in a large group site and you want a smaller individual site, you need to go to the website for Zion Ponderosa Ranch Resort and reserve your own site through them. If you have questions or special circumstances or want to know about camping in your vehicle, or a camper, please email camping@yinonfire.com
