Sound Festival 2026: A Journey Back to Our Roots
Let’s gather around sound, music and silence in a space beyond concepts, opinions, ideas and beliefs, and explore the connection established across millennia of human existence and way beyond. At the Sound Festival, the sound, music and silence themselves are the main guide.
Sound Festival invites us to explore our own musicality, regardless of our previous experience or beliefs we might carry about our own skill or talent. Here we sit side by side as we recognize that music, sound and vibration indeed are the universal language.
With awareness that there is a wounded musician inside many of us, knowing that voice and creativity can be tender, vulnerable places, can we care for them, together?
Join us from August 27 till August 30, 2026

Workshops, gatherings and your own flow
Workshops and gatherings in the Sound Festival invite you to re-experience sound, music, and silence — as pathways to connection, healing, and greater sense of aliveness, expanding the capacities of our nervous system, our hearts, our souls.
You choose your own participation – our workshops are designed to meet the different needs for connection and solitude, activity or relaxation.
World class sound baths, jam sessions, drumming, singing circles, concerts, lectures, skill learning like how to play different instruments, offering a sound bath or crafting your own instrument, dance, yoga, meetings in nature, around fire or indoors.. we cover it all.
In this festival, hands-on workshops are an important part of the program, opening up the space for you to experience the magic of music creation, learning to play an instrument, offer a sound healing journey and much more without a need for any previous experience.
Creativity, Art & Craftsmanship
Instruments are our passion — having gathered decades of experience, our shared knowledge covers everything from the design and crafting process to sharing the art of how they come alive in human hands.
Thus, at Sound Festival, you can experience instruments from all around the world, brought to you by the artisans we choose to collaborate with.
We offer hands-on encounters with a great variety of instruments, guided with care and respect, so you can feel their voice and soul for yourself.
Join the festival
Dive into the resonance of Embodied Sound, where every note is a journey to the soul’s core.
Join a community guided by the Power of Sound
The vision of creating greater awareness of the powers of vibration lives on in participants of our previous festivals.
As the creators we know that we might be biased so read about their experience in their own words below.
If you are curious about how Sound Festival could possibly enrich your life and relationship to music and creativity – we wish you have the opportunity to join.
There is a space only you can fill and we are so looking forward to co-creating new experiences together with our growing community this year!
The festival creates a beautiful space for healing, amazing music and meetings with others as well as with yourself. I left the festival with warmth in my heart and gratitude for what was healed in me, through the music and sound and all the experienced and talented workshop leaders.
