Core Concept
Horizon is more than a festival; it is a recalibration
We believe that true connection to life requires both the discipline of self-optimization (The Day) and the surrender of communal celebration (The Night). This is a boutique, unique, and exclusive gathering.
We preserve a high-frequency environment that fosters deep intimacy, meaningful connection, and absolute respect for the surrounding landscape.
Welcome to this curated sanctuary for the soul.

Daytime Workshops:
Transform your body and mind with expert-led journeys in movement and vitality
Vocal Activation Journey
Orka
Join us for a powerful vocal activation workshop with Orka, an internationally experienced facilitator of singing circles and vocal journeys. This safe and ceremonial space invites you to awaken, release, and reconnect with both your outer and inner voice.
Through guided group singing, intuitive practices, and deep listening, you will explore the healing power of sound, dissolve emotional blocks, and experience the joy of collective resonance. Orka’s unique approach blends vocal activation, self-inquiry, and embodied awareness to help you unlock your true voice and feel more connected, open, and alive.
No singing experience is needed – just a willingness to explore, express, and be heard.
Song of the Soul
Ayla Schafer
Unveiling the voice, sounds, and silence of your inner being
Song of the Soul is a sacred vocal journey into the heart of your true expression. Through sound, silence, and presence, you are invited to reconnect with your natural voice – the spontaneous song of your spirit.
This workshop is not about learning to sing, but about unlearning the fears, judgments, and blocks that hold your voice back. Rooted in ancient traditions and soul-based practices, we use the voice as a tool for healing, connection, and transformation.
By weaving between sound and stillness, you return to the source within – where your voice becomes a bridge to authenticity, freedom, and belonging.
Your body is the portal.
Your voice is the key.
Your silence is home.
Vocal Odyssey
Nessi Gomes
Meeting with the Spirit of Your Voice
Nessi Gomes is a British-Portuguese songwriter whose music meets life with quiet intensity – where beauty and fear, longing and hope, exist side by side. Singing not to perform, but to stay honest, she found her true home in sound after years of living between cultures.
In Vocal Odyssey, Nessi invites you on a deep yet playful journey into the healing power of your voice. This self-inquiry process moves beyond the noise of the mind, opening a new relationship with your vocal expression – raw, free, and alive.
Through simple, natural practices, you will reconnect with your authentic voice beyond judgment and limitation, discovering it as a bridge to your inner truth and the prayer you carry within.
Movement Medicine
Dana Hyman Kutin
Movement Medicine is a conscious, ecstatic movement practice that uses dance as a powerful tool for connection, healing, and transformation.
Rooted in ancient tribal wisdom and modern psychology and neuroscience, this international method is adapted for the times we live in. It encourages freedom of movement, deep release, and authentic self-expression through the body’s natural intelligence.
Movement Medicine invites us to reconnect with who we truly are, awaken our inner strength, and remember the wild, creative nature of our body–mind. Through dance, we experience renewal, personal growth, and a deeper sense of belonging.
No previous experience is needed -the practice is open to everyone.
Healing Power of Touch -Touch to Connect
Oda Meiberg
Oda Meiberg is a holistic bodywork practitioner and space-holder devoted to restoring connection through conscious touch.
In Healing Power of Touch, she invites couples into a gentle, heart-centered journey where the hands become a bridge for presence, trust, and healing. Rooted in ancient Eastern traditions, this 2-hour workshop offers a safe and nurturing space to slow down, listen with your hands, and reconnect beyond words. Through simple, powerful techniques and guided awareness, you will rediscover touch as a language of love, vitality, and deep emotional connection.
Secrets of the World & You Are as You Breathe
Igal Kutin
In “Secrets of the World’s Healthiest People, you will explore the nutritional patterns of the longest-living cultures on Earth and discover how conscious eating can slow aging, support brain health, and strengthen emotional resilience. This workshop reveals how food becomes a powerful medicine for both body and mind.
In “You Are as You Breathe,” Igal guides you through the life-changing power of the breath. Through practical training and a deep Circular Breathing journey, you will experience physical renewal, emotional release, and a stronger connection to your inner vitality.
Together, these workshops offer a holistic path to clarity, energy, and well-being – through nourishment, breath, and conscious living.
storytelling
Sahand Sahebdivani, Raphael Rodan & Mary Aygetsy
Step into an evening of intimate tales and unexpected laughter as Iranian storyteller Sahand Sahebdivani and Israeli storyteller Raphael Rodan return to the stage. Bound by a deep, decades-long friendship, they share personal stories rooted in conflict, connection, and love. Together, they revisit “the house their mothers grew up in” — an imagined home under the mulberry tree where memory, myth, and identity intertwine. With humour, heart, and a touch of rebellion, they offer a rare glimpse into what happens when two unlikely friends choose story over silence. Join us beneath the shade of the mulberry — and see what grows there. The stories are accompanied by the angelic singing of Mary Aygetsy, bringing Armenian folk songs to life.
The Evening Transition
Ritual Music
As the sun touches the horizon, the internal work of the day transmutes into external celebration. The music is a bridge between the earth and the stars, performed by world-class artists in an extraordinarily intimate setting.
Nessi Gomes
Deep vocal alchemy and emotional storytelling
A master of vocal alchemy and emotional storytelling, Nessi Gomes channels the raw, “larger-than-life” essence of traditional Portuguese Fado into modern British progressive folk. Her music is a hauntingly beautiful exploration of the human experience, blending deep emotional resonance with a captivating stage presence. Through her acclaimed songwriting and her world-renowned “Vocal Odyssey,” Nessi invites the audience to meet the spirit of their own voice in a deeply intimate and transformative experience.
Orka
Atmospheric and soulful resonance
A soulful force of nature, Orka is a ceremonial artist and songwriter who has spent over 16 years exploring the transformational power of the human voice. Her music is a bridge between ancient spiritual traditions and contemporary activism, weaving rituals and immersive performances into a collective prayer. Rooted in devotion and heart-led expression, Orka invites us into a journey of conscious listening and deep vulnerability, where every note becomes a gateway to our unique, authentic truth.
Alex Serra & Toti Dub
Organic beats and electronic textures
Born from a four-year nomadic journey across South America and Africa, Alex Serra and Totidub bring a metamorphic blend of organic beats and electronic dub textures. Their performance is more than a concert—it is a spiritual activation designed to dissolve boundaries and awaken a new way of being. By fusing soulful downtempo rhythms with a vision of global collaboration, they invite the crowd into a “Trance of Life” that celebrates trust, connection, and the beauty of the real world.
Ayla Schafer
World folk and medicinal song
Acclaimed as the “Voice of the Earth,” Ayla Schafer is a multilingual visionary whose music serves as a spellbinding tapestry of world folk and medicinal song. Her poetic repertoire, sung in Spanish, English, and Proto-Celtic, expresses a profound devotion to earth consciousness and ancestral wisdom. Every performance is a sacred, heart-opening encounter—an enchanting musical journey that leads us away from the noise of the world and back to the very core of our own inner existence.
The Village Heart
At its core, Horizon is built on the philosophy of the Village Effect. In an era of digital isolation, we return to the ancient wisdom of face-to-face community. We prioritize the quality of our interactions over the quantity of our attendees. Every guest is an active participant in a living ecosystem, contributing to a collective field of presence and belonging.
A Gathering for All Generations
Horizon is a family-friendly community gathering. We believe that the wisdom of the elders and the playfulness of children are essential to a whole community. Our space is designed to be safe, nurturing, and inclusive, allowing families to explore growth and rhythm together in the heart of nature.
A Catalyst for Change
This festival is specifically curated for those who feel the call to start a new chapter. It is a sanctuary for people who want to invite more presence, community, and embodiment into their daily lives. Whether you are a seasoned practitioner or just beginning to explore your inner world, Horizon provides the tools and the tribe to help you ground your transformation in your physical body and your local community.
