The festival takes place at AVANI, a beautiful retreat center nestled within three hectares of private land in the heart of the Brabant countryside. Surrounded by forests, open skies, and the nearby Loonse & Drunense Duinen National Park, the setting offers a peaceful and inspiring environment for movement, connection, and creativity.
The center features a spacious wooden-floored studio, a large communal kitchen, a fire circle, a natural swimming pond, a hot tub, a sauna, and woodland paths for wandering and unwinding. Horses grazing nearby add to the calm and grounded atmosphere of the land.
There are several accommodation options available on site. Two shared dormitories offer up to seven single beds each, thoughtfully arranged with room dividers to create a sense of privacy while maintaining a communal atmosphere.
For those seeking a more secluded experience, two traditional yurts are nestled among the trees. Heated by a wood-burning stove, they provide a cozy and intimate retreat in the heart of the forest, allowing guests to fully immerse themselves in the natural surroundings.

At the heart of the festival is our sense of community.
Each participant will take part in small, unique tasks -just one time- during the festival that help keep the space clean, warm, and welcoming.
We’ll share responsibilities such as:
Cleaning the toilets and showers
Keeping the tea corner stocked and inviting
Sweeping and maintaining the dance floor
Together, we keep the space clean, cosy, and cared for.
