Glowing with or giving off light.

Let’s disconnect from the chaos and noise of life and instead get really present to the power of community.

Come immerse yourself in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains for the weekend and generate new friendships, feel alive and supported, try new things, get playful + be inspired!

Lucent reminds us of why we are here on this planet and to what matters most.

The 13th Annual Lucent festival is being hosted at star 6 ranch!

The Star 6 Ranch is a place that welcomes youth, families, individuals and communities, to reconnect with the rhythms of our natural world. Through our land-based programs, equine connections and community partnerships, we hold space for individuals to embark on journeys of self-discovery, healing, resiliency-building and growth.

Reconnecting in meaningful ways with land, community and self, guides people of all ages to hone their inner compasses, unearth their authentic selves, and discover that everything we need to thrive lies within.

We are thrilled to be hosting here again and cannot wait to welcome you to the land.


The Star 6 Ranch acknowledges that we live, work and recreate on sacred lands and traditional territories within the Ozade Îmne (Kananaskis) region. Alongside Mînî Thnî (Morley), on the banks of the Ozade Imne Wapta (Kananaskis River), in the presence of Îyâ Mnathka (Yamnuska), we take responsibility for understanding our role in reconciliation and honour the past, present and future.

The Weekend Includes

Carve out intentional time to truly connect with yourself, your family and other like-minded wholehearted humans.


Come together in the great outdoors for our 12th annual eco and family-friendly festival, and allow yourself to reset, relax, and appreciate.

If good old-fashioned face-to-face connection, nature, health and wellness, live music, and community are your jam, we want you to come add your magic to the mix. A weekend of connection, creativity, and feeling fully alive.

Inspired by the spirit of 90s summer days, before constant notifications, when time stretched long and memories were made offline, Lucent has always held space for a return to analog living. Think sun-warmed afternoons, lawn chairs and coolers on the grass, music drifting through the trees, hands-on creativity, movement and conversations that linger.
