Dear friends,

We are thrilled to share the details of our new event with you, which we are calling "The Gathering" a musical odyssey in Greece.

Inspired by Sound & Silence Festival, yet quite different, this gathering will be more of a holiday retreat, starting our days with yoga, followed by diverse workshops and concerts in the late mornings. After lunch, we will have our entire afternoons free to enjoy the beach and all Arillas has to offer, including delightful seaside restaurants for dinner. In the evenings we will return to the Buddha Hall for its breathtaking sunsets followed by performances in their spacious Hall or outside in their new concert space under the olive groves. The program will be relaxed yet inspiring, a balanced and rhythmic blend of carefully curated workshops and performances, including wonderful music that will have you feeling uplifted, while leaving you plenty of time to enjoy the cozy atmosphere of Arillas and its beautiful surroundings.

Final notes:  While deep healing and transformation is always a natural and delightful part of our journey together, we seek to enjoy simple being, sparks of creativity and the joys of friendship and community. Our focus will be on finding a balance between active listening, playful engagement and inner silence. Not as rigid as a retreat, not as wild as a festival, we will find our flow and glow somewhere in the middle.

We are looking forward to celebrating some blissful summer days on the island we all love so much. Singing, dancing, meditating, enjoying sunsets, starry skies, and healthy food are all predictable. But the real treasures will come from the spontaneous magic we will experience together. 

All are welcome, all are invited, the water is warm, jump in!

See you in beautiful Corfu!
