Welcome to OUR SPRING AWAKENING
As winter gives way to spring, we gather at Ängsbacka for five days of togetherness through yoga, dance, movement, music, sound and silence. The festival is inspired by the changing of the seasons, and by the cycles of letting go and beginning again that we recognize in nature and in ourselves. It is a chance to slow down, come together, and step into the new season with energy and openness.
Join us over the Easter holidays, March 25th to 29th, 2027. Whether you come on your own, with a partner, or with friends, you are warmly welcome.

From darkness to light
Spring marks the return of light after the long Nordic winter. It is a natural moment to pause and make room for something new. During this festival we work with the contrasts of darkness and light, rest and activity, silence and sound. Through movement, breath, and attention, we explore how they balance each other.
Many traditions see the turn of the year as a time of ending and beginning at once. Here, you are invited to take part in that turning, together with others, in a setting surrounded by nature.
Cycles of Nature and Togetherness
Water, fire, earth, and air give us a simple way to describe the qualities we move through in yoga and dance: flow, power, stillness, and movement. Each has its own sensation in the body, and each has something to teach us. Some of us find it easy to flow and harder to be still, or the other way around.
Over the course of the festival, the program invites you to explore all four, in your own way and at your own pace.
Embracing New Beginnings
This is a time for change, and for nourishing the contact with your body, your energy, and the people around you. Whether you arrive tired from the winter or full of curiosity, you are welcome to take part in the way that suits you. Together, we celebrate the new season.
At the heart of the festival is a feeling of belonging. We eat, practice, dance, and rest side by side, and many guests find that this sense of togetherness is what they remember most.
The Spring AWAKENING Journey
Thursday: We begin with welcoming workshops, a nourishing dinner, and an opening ceremony, where we meet the musicians, workshop leaders, and our sharing groups. This is the moment to arrive, to meet others, and to set the tone for the days ahead. In the evening you can dance in the Upper Barn, spend time with friends old and new in the café, or sit in silence.
Friday: The first full festival day offers yoga, dance, movement, lectures, and workshops, both indoors and outdoors. You can fill the day with activity or leave space between sessions to rest and enjoy the surroundings. The evening program includes a concert, an organic dance journey, and Ängsbacka’s much-loved Open Stage.
Saturday: After the Morning Meeting, we spend the day in silence. Without the usual conversation and distraction, it becomes easier to rest, listen, and notice what is going on inside and around us. Many people find that this quiet day brings peace and clarity, and sometimes new questions as well.
Sunday: An outdoor morning ceremony ends the silence and opens a day of celebration. After a quiet day, many people experience the festival, and each other, with fresh attention. Sounds, colors, and conversations can feel brighter than before. The day ends with a joyful evening celebration.
Monday: On the final day we gather to share our experiences and reflect on what we have lived together. We close the festival with music and a last moment of integration, so that you can travel home with something to carry into the new season.
WORKSHOPS
Each day offers a choice of activities, both indoors and outdoors: Yoga, movement and dance practices, meditation, lectures and forest walks. You can follow a full schedule or pick just a few sessions that appeal to you. For early risers, we offer sadhana on selected mornings: traditional Vedic chanting and yoga at sunrise.
YOGA: TO UNITE, TO BELONG
The word yoga comes from a root meaning to join or to unite. At the festival, that means bringing body, breath, and mind together, and practicing alongside others. We offer a broad range of styles for all levels, from gentle and restorative to more dynamic and strengthening. Our teachers are experienced and committed to their practice, and they guide each session with care and attention.
DANCE: BODY, ENERGY, SPACE, TIME
Dance can be described as using the body, with different kinds of energy, to move through space over time. Our dance sessions cover the full range, from energetic and playful to slow and quiet. You can use dance to release tension, to meditate in movement, or simply to enjoy great music. No experience is needed, only a willingness to move in your own way.
…and more
The program is created through collaboration between teachers, musicians, and artists from different traditions and genres. These meetings often lead to sessions you won’t find anywhere else. We encourage you to bring your own creativity and curiosity, and to leave inspired and ready for the new season.
