Join us in an unforgettable life-changing summer experience that will lead you into deep connection with yourself, other people and nature and the world as a whole!
We realign our inner compass, unleash our creative potential and learn to live meaningful relationships - to consciously and proactively create a regenerative and just future together. With music, art, dance, ceremonies and holistic learning we celebrate pure life in all its facets!
Embracing narratives and tools from ancient wisdom traditions and latest scientific insights our stages are designed to inspire contemplation, self-inquiry, togetherness, exchange and transformation.
Mind
Our inner worlds hold many secrets and great power. What happens when we become aware of these - and learn tools and methods to change and shape the fabric of our perception and wellbeing? We meditate, dive into the mystery of consciousness, discuss and explore philosophies of selfhood, identity and mental health. By training our minds we cultivate an accepting, kind, and compassionate relationship towards ourself and others.
Heart
Our heart - center of love, compassion and forgiveness - holds deep and profound truths. What will unfold when we dare to open it, listen to its whispering melodies, tap into its power - and express its geatest desires? With heart-opening breath work-sessions, practices of authentic relating, compassion and kindness, we aim to support the cultivation of an ethic of love through which we can walk through life and act more benevolently and generously.
Body
We are marvelous sentient beings! How can we truly find a home in ourselves? How do we build trust in our emotions and in the wisdom and resilience we intuitively hold as breathing moving bodies? Grounding our experiences in movement and body awareness, we embrace a philosophy of embodied learning.
Play
To play is an essential form of our true nature. Play worships the present moment, it allows a space to try, fail and learn without judgment. Unleash your imagination to envision the new worlds of tomorrow!The Play stage is also our big main stage: During the days, laughter, curiosity, and joy reign supreme while at night we celebrate the liberation of the human spirit with big ceremonies and blissful DJ-Sets.
World
This earth is more than our environment. When experiencing ourselves as one with nature and this universe, how do we look on global challenges and processes of destruction and transformation? How can we become guardians and caretakers of a flourishing planet? We reflect on our role in creating new visions and values to build new tomorrows in deep and meaningful relation with everything around us.
