Welcome to OUR SPRING AWAKENING

As the winter slowly releases its hold, we gather at Ängsbacka to celebrate the ancient cycles of renewal, rebirth, and transformation. Join us this Easter for a festival inspired by the timeless dance between light and dark, winter and spring, silence and sound. This is a time to honor nature’s rhythms, both within and around us, as we release what no longer serves and open ourselves to new possibilities.

Death & Rebirth, Darkness & Light

The beginning of spring is the time of fertility and the triumph of light. We invite you to harmonize with the elements and each other. Together, we will witness the cycles of transformation, joining in practices that deepen our connection to the world and to each other. We’ll journey through space and time, moving with energy that unfolds and renews.

Cycles of Nature and Togetherness

We’ll explore the delicate balance between letting go and beginning anew. Through yoga and dance, we unite body, mind, and spirit, embracing every part of ourselves and the natural world. As the Earth awakens, so too do we, guided by the elements of water, fire, earth, and air, each representing the flow, power, stillness, and movement within us all.

The Spring Journey

Thursday: Our journey begins with welcoming workshops, a nourishing dinner and a beautiful Opening ceremony. During the ceremony, we come together in sweetness and celebration, meeting the musicians, workshop leaders, and our personal sharing groups.​

After the ceremony, you can choose to dance freely to enchanting music in the Upper Barn, relax in the café catching up with old and new friends, or embrace stillness through silent sitting.

On the first full festival day Friday, we immerse ourselves in a program filled with yoga, dance, movement, lectures, and other inspiring workshops both indoors and outdoors. The evening brings things like a magical concert, an organic dance journey, and Ängsbacka’s beloved Open Stage.

Saturday begins with our Morning Meeting, after which we enter a day of silence. This silence allows us to center ourselves and filter out the usual distractions. In this quiet, we often find answers, and sometimes even questions. It’s a day of reflection and deep presence.

On Sunday, we break our silence with a profound outdoor morning ceremony, marking the beginning of a day-long celebration where we all come alive again. After the quiet, you may find yourself newly attuned to the beauty around you, perhaps experiencing reality in a new and fresh way. The day culminates in a grand, exuberant evening celebration!

Monday, the festival’s final day, we gather once more to share our experiences. We’ll frame this closing with music, presence, and togetherness.

WORKSHOPS

Each day, you’ll have the opportunity to choose from a variety of activities including indoor and outdoor classes in different styles of yoga, movement and dance practices, meditations, forest walks, and other inspiring workshops. 

Dance

Dance is more than just movement; it’s meditation, ecstasy, wildness, and tranquility all rolled into one. It’s a spectrum of experiences, from crazy and energetic to slow and delicate.

Slow down and observe your breath, or unleash your body’s freedom of expression. Release tension as you immerse yourself in a meditative movement journey. Get ready for incredible music and rhythms that will move your soul!

Yoga

Throughout the day, we offer a diversity of yoga styles suitable for all levels and experiences. Our amazing teachers, each with years of expertise, bring their unique flavor to the festival. Deeply passionate about their practice, they’re here to guide you in discovering your inner essence through awareness, presence, and breath.

…and more

We really invite and encourage creativity and aliveness in this festival. The program will be filled with unique collaborations between teachers, musicians, artists, genres and styles. The offerings are profound and heartfelt, the range is vast. Welcome to be inspired and awakened, and ready for a new season!
