Eclectic Music Productions
Liberate Music & Yoga Festival, is founded by Eclectic Music Productions, LLC.
The mission of EMP is to celebrate the power of music and yoga to to consistently create new freedom and liberation where the was none before. EMP events encourage expression and support the human desire to push against boundaries, transform, to creatively express and grow.
EMP is created and run by Ben Lanza and Jane Jarecki Lanza, who produce large scale music and yoga events and community gatherings. EMP’s success and vision is largely supported by the work and dedication of Sage Plakosh, who has been with EMP since the first Liberate and BYC (pictured below).
Liberate
EMP’s flagship festival, Liberate, was first launched in Vermont in 2008 and has steadily grown in size and scope to become a summer tradition for Vermont residents and fans from coast to coast. EMP remains committed to world-class events at affordable prices and to its grass roots beginnings.
The Liberate Music & Yoga Festival is a 3-day, outdoor camping event held annually in the beautiful foothills of Sheldon, VT.
Liberate is an eco-friendly, intimate family festival celebrating, music, yoga, consciousness, and community. With diverse, mindful and eclectic music from both local and national touring artists Liberate features non-stop music, no overlapping sets, and over 15 yoga workshops throughout the weekend.

Burlington Yoga Conference
Burlington Yoga Conference, first produced by EMP in 2009, has grown from a one-day event into a weekend long destination-event, from Friday evening to Sunday evening. With the feedback and support of our guests and students and continued interest from our teachers, BYC has grown to the largest annual yoga conference in New England. We gather a community of teachers, students, speakers, vendors, guests, and living advocates of yoga and its many offerings.
BYC’s mission it to unite local yoga studios, teachers, and students to create community and to give back to the communities that we’re a part of. Top-notch instructors offer a variety of traditions of yoga that appeal to all levels of students. BYC intends to inspire personal practice, a sense of connection, and positive change through yoga.
