REGENERATE! Eco-Performance Fest Returning To Coastal Roots Farm

ENCINITAS, CA — Coastal Roots Farm will host its third annual REGENERATE! Eco-Performance Fest on May 17, featuring immersive performances centered on ecology, spirituality and Jewish culture.

Organizers said the event will include educational activities, food and live performances throughout the farm's grounds.

Co-produced by JFEST, the festival will showcase four original works created by artists from the Jewish Climate Artists for California Incubator, a nine-month program developed by Coastal Roots Farm with support from The Covenant Foundation.

Featured performances include "At Rise," a play with live music by Dan Schifrin; a dance piece exploring Eden and exile by choreographer Livya Howard-Yashar; "Kaddish," an ecological ritual by Michelle Shofat; and "Hear This Hereness," a music performance by Brother Man, featuring Heavy Meadow and Jake Chapman.

Rebecca Joy Fletcher, the farm's director of Jewish life and leader of the incubator program, said the event aims to inspire awareness and action around environmental issues through art and community engagement.

"REGENERATE! reminds us that art has the power to light our way — helping us see, feel, and act with renewed joy, compassion and determination," Fletcher said.

"Join us for a one‑of‑a‑kind celebration that will uplift your spirit, connect you with friends, new and old, and reawaken your love for our shared planet."

Guests may attend either the first or second half of the festival, or purchase tickets for the full event. Admission ranges from $36 to $58.

The festival will take place from 3:30 to 7:30 p.m. at the farm at 441 Saxony Road in Encinitas.
