This is not a festival. This is a co-created gathering of conscious & driven people – here to create new ways of life.
Join us for ecstatic dances, dirty DJ sets, and fireside conversations. For yogic flows, zen meditations, and wild swims. For meeting the creators of new villages, alternate space-holders, and emerging ideas.
Step into four days with up to 120 inspiring humans, immersed in lush nature. As we go deep, laugh lots – and take action toward more connected ways of being.

We Begin With The Threshold Ritual
Hold up. Take a breath.
Before the dancing and mischief — we pause.
And begin by intentionally contracting ...
Entering stillness. Meeting discomfort. Dropping into the present.
Our first evening will be "the threshold ritual” – involving raw nature, deep sound, and heavy breath.
It ends with handing in our phones and screens — a symbolic release to fully step into the now.
Only then, do we erupt into sound, color, and aliveness.
Reawakening what modern festivals have forgotten: the deeper the contraction, the greater the expansion.

Then, The Schedule Comes Alive
We'll keep the schedule light. Giving space for people to hangout, create spontaneously and enjoy the lakes together.
Expect mornings with dynamic meditations and active flows.
During the afternoons? Offerings to get you experiencing; contact improv, sauna-ice journeys, authentic relating. And offerings to get you exploring; permaculture workshops, community visioning, and teachings from pioneering land projects
At night – bonfires, DJ sets, psychedelic kirtans and wholesome shenanigans.

Held In Deep Nature
We’ll be at Aterra, in Alentejo, Portugal – a few minutes from the beaches and ocean. A private 12 acre eco-glamping site full of bird-songs, lush colours and festival vibes. .
We'll enjoy a private lake, established forest gardens, pool, temazcal, beach, moroccan yurt stage, organic restaurant, covered main stage, and more.

Ultimately, The People Make It
For those who believe a better way of life is possible.
For those building – retreats, villages and brands.
For those holding space – the yogis, facilitators and leaders.
For the conscious capitalists – living between two realities.
For the intuitives – who long to dance, to feel, to create.
For those … who remember.
We know that ‘normal’ is broken.
So, right now we gather in little pockets … an ecstatic dance here, a festival there, a retreat on the side.
It’s time for something bigger.
Let’s come together – to laugh, go deep and play. But to also take action – for new ways of life that bring deep connection back and enable thriving in our modern world.
