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
Song of the Soul is an intimate, embodied journey with the human voice as prayer and living expression. Through breath, sound, silence, and deep listening, this workshop invites a remembering of the voice as it lives within the body — natural, instinctive, and alive.
Guided by ancient and earth-based traditions, we explore using the voice as people have done in ritual and prayer for millennia: to communicate with the spirit of life, the sacred, and the unseen realms. This is a space of authenticity, freedom, and belonging — a return to what has always been our nature.
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.

Held with care, respect, and warmth, Oda’s workshops provide a nourishing retreat within the festival, where authenticity, trust, and shared human experience can naturally unfold.

In Jimmy’s Jam, you will.

Sit down, lie down and allow yourself to be carried by the experience.
No prior experience with breathwork is required.
The Rhythm of Who You Are
Galit Shabi
Beneath the noise of everyday life, there is a rhythm that is uniquely yours.
Guided by music and the wisdom of the body, we reconnect with the rhythm that is already alive within us.Through dance and movement, we meet ourselves in the here and now, not as a fixed identity, but as a living expression that is constantly unfolding.
As we dance together, reflection, resonance and connection reveal new perspectives. In this playful exploration, we discover how our individuality comes alive, and how encounters with others can bring us closer to ourselves.
There is a gentle invitation to step forward: to claim your space, express what is alive within you and allow yourself to be seen. Just as in life, authenticity flourishes when it meets the world.
A vibrant and embodied dance journey into vitality, connection and the courage to move in rhythm with who you are.
The Mask Comes Off
Erik Van Nieuwburg
Most men are hiding some part of themselves. Sometimes small. Sometimes a lot. Even when they think they’re not.
This is 90 minutes to drop the act and feel what’s underneath. And show it.
Through movement, breath, and exposure work amongst your brothers, you get a taste of the work that breaks men open, and puts them back together, stronger, more aware & real.
You’ll leave lighter. Maybe a little exposed. More connected. With ourself. And your brothers.
Sound Healing
Anna Maria
In a safe and intimate setting, participants are guided through Kriya Yoga practices, immersed in sound baths of Tibetan temple bells, flutes, and drums, and led on deep subconscious journeys through meditation. Each one is designed to reveal, nourish, and integrate what the soul most needs to see. Every session becomes a catalyst for transformation, clarity, and renewed inner strength..
Each journey offers a sacred space to reconnect with the body, heart, and spirit, fostering clarity, realignment, and deeper self-awareness.
Rooted in intention and personal connection,
Inner Temple Journeys invites you to slow down, listen within, and nourish your inner world.

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 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.
