As a business owner, it’s easy to get wrapped up in the daily grind. There’s always something to do, a task to complete, a meeting to attend, or a project to plan. That’s why festivals have become such a powerful escape for me—there’s nothing quite like the energy of stepping into a completely different world, away from work, chores, and cell phone connections. Disconnect to Reconnect. I just returned from an incredible trip to San Francisco, where I attended a music festival, and it reminded me exactly why these events have such a special place in my heart.
There’s something unmatched about the energy that pulses through a festival. Surrounded by thousands of people who are all there to live their best lives, you feel a collective joy that’s hard to describe. No worries about deadlines or to-do lists—just living in the moment, dancing, and connecting with strangers who quickly feel like friends. It’s therapeutic in a way that nothing else is, and as much as I love running my business, these experiences are what keep me grounded and refreshed.
For me, festivals are more than just music and dancing. They are a reminder to disconnect and dive fully into a world of pure exploration and spontaneity. No plans, no rules—just finding joy in each moment, from making new friends to discovering hidden gems in the festival grounds. The combination of live music and dancing can be incredibly healing. Whether it's dancing under the stars or having deep conversations in the chill zones, these festivals foster connection in a way that everyday life rarely does.
That sense of community, joy, and the wellness that comes from dancing, laughing, and living freely is exactly what inspired me to bring that energy back to Squadstyle. Which is why I’m excited to announce our very first Wellness Rave happening on October 20th. We’ll be blending the therapeutic nature of music, dance, and wellness services to create an event where you can recharge and rave with like-minded people. It’s our way of creating that festival vibe while also focusing on self-care and community. Stay tuned for more details, and trust me—you won’t want to miss this one!
In the meantime, if you’ve been feeling like you need an escape, I highly recommend finding a festival and diving in. It’s the best way to reset and come back with a full cup, ready to tackle whatever’s next.
Be well,
Hannah King
