Arcosanti is known worldwide as one of the most uniquely beautiful destinations in the state of Arizona. With intentionally built architecture resting on top of a cliff in the Sonoran Desert, Arcosanti is a magical manifestation of a dream. The space is its own vortex, one built around, and completely influenced by, the desire to shed the superfluous elements of post-industrial society and to live with purpose, in unison with the natural environment. Arcosanti’s founder, Paolo Soleri, coined the term ‘Arcology’ to represent this. He wanted to challenge the notion of the urban environment as something separate from and antagonistic to nature.

"We're here to be a part of the landscape, not in spite of it."

Our goal with MELT is to activate the natural beauty that resonates throughout Arcosanti in an intimate and unique fashion. We aim to build an experience that is a confluence of music, art, and mindfulness, all blending with the soul and mission of this magical place. Through the mix of these various vibrations, we hope each attendee can explore new perspectives, and go home with refreshed purpose towards what it means to live with intention, in harmony with our natural environment.
