Dear Friends,


During the last two years we have been expanding our vision, experimenting with new collaborations and celebrations, and discovering that there are endless pathways to joyful experiences.

Our artistic evolution has brought us three new gatherings this year alone, all considerably smaller and quite different from our original Sound & Silence Festival, and yet still carrying the sweet energy and exquisite nature that made S&S the unique celebration that it is known for.

In 2022 we will offer all three - one in Spring, Summer and Autumn.
Meet Our Newest Additions To The Sound & Silence Family:

The Movement Gathering

The Movement Gathering is a wonderful new celebration dedicated to the body. A high quality and variety filled offering of Yoga and Dance, this journey is designed to awaken the joy of the physical body. We will quite literally dance our way to happiness through Ecstatic Dance, Trance Dance Ritual, Biodanza, Embodied Dance Practices and so much more.
Leaving plenty of room for spontaneous co-creation, and with the support of DJ's and live musicians, our team of professional dance performers and teachers will dazzle us with their improvisational skills and movement mastery. Their goal is to also awaken the dazzling dance maestro within you too.
Next Gathering: 15 - 21 May 2022 @ the Corfu Buddha Hall in Greece

The Gathering Corfu
The Gathering is a unique and elegant new micro festival focused on musical improvisation and artistic collaboration. A kind of mini Sound & Silence, this one of a kind odyssey takes place over the course of a week at the Corfu Buddha Hall, one of Europe's most beautiful retreat centers. It is designed to be a creative tour de force for multi instrumental musicality, and a bridge to the meditative arts.
Powerful yet peaceful, engaging yet relaxing, this journey is for those who wish to experience artistic enchantment, while still getting plenty of rest and rejuvenation on the beaches of Corfu, one of the fastest growing wellness centers in the world.
Next Gathering: 31 July - 6 August 2022 @ the Corfu Buddha Hall in Greece

The Soul's Story

A festival focused on the most ancient art form there is - Storytelling. Almost a lost art in this day and age, it has been buried behind modern pop culture. However, storytelling is slowly making a comeback. The ancient bards were the rock stars of the ancient world, with kings & queens begging the best of them into their courts with offers of land and gold. 
They were not just storytellers, they were world bridgers, bringing news, technology, innovation, wisdom, humor and of course entertainment to every castle they passed through. These savvy word-smiths were often poets, musicians and dancers all rolled into one, and their art form was valued above all others. And they are still out there weaving their tales to small but growing circles.

We just completed our first festival and it was delightful! We got to see and experience such a beautiful diversity of stories, reminding us that there are literally endless ways to tell the story of infinite topics. The Soul's Story is about awakening the bard within all of us, and coming together to re-enchant the world with words of love and peace and even a little dragon fire.
"A story untold, is medicine buried in the soul" - Alexander Sarvaan
Next Soul's Story: To Be Announced (Sometime in Autumn 2022)
And of course, the original gathering:

Sound & Silence
​A Seven Day Journey
Guided by The Heart.
A Unique Gathering of
Artists, Teachers, Healers
And Lovers of Life
A Week of Magic
A Lifetime of Memories
*Next Sound & Silence: S&S is still on hiatus while current global events remain uncertain. However, the moment we are able, when the time and place is just right, we plan to host another large S&S Festival. Who knows, if the stars align, possibly even in 2022...

Let's Re-enchant the world together

A Holiday
​with A purpose

Artful Well-Being, Holistic Living, and Heart-Opening Experiences

The art of
​making magic

Art has the ability to induce states of bliss.
All of our events are designed to awaken the ecstatic lying dormant within us. When we align our frequencies to each other and deepen our connection with the earth and the present moment, there is a possibility of what one would call the experience of rapture...

​S&S is about creativity and the expression of art, and authentic connection. It's a coming together of creative souls, ready to explore energy & frequency, and the edges of alchemy & artistry.
"After Silence, that which comes nearest to expressing the inexpressible, is Music." ~ Aldous Huxley

Artistry & intimacy

Is Our Alchemy
The intimacy we are speaking of is the softness that opens the heart. It's the closeness that brings sweet friends together. It's also the invitation that brings people closer to the stage, and blurs the lines between the audience and artist. Being highly curated, our team is dedicated to deepening this quality of intimacy. With carefully selected facilitators, musicians, dancers, visual artists, healers and space holders, ALL committed to join our journey from start to finish, and to guide our every step toward joyful celebration.
And at S&S, we journey together as one. ​
EVERYONE eats, sings, and sits in sweet silences together. Our journey slowly, safely and subtly opens the heart, leading to deep, endearing and enduring friendships. We keep it small enough to make sure all in attendance are able to connect with ease. No one gets lost in the crowd. And yet it's also big enough to feel festive and exciting without ever becoming overwhelming. ​​

Everything done
​with Love, is art

We are all artists. Sometimes, we just need a little reminder, a large dose of inspiration and some very good role models to tease it out of us again. We are born to create, to share our gifts with the world. Our programs are designed to wake up the latent artist within each of us, tapping into experienced teachers and their powerful workshops. Over the course of a week, we playfully experiment with life together, to open ourselves to a new way of living and being in this world. And for those who are ready, we always have an Open Stage to turn the spotlight on YOU. It's time to shine, and WE are ready for you.
"Art enables us to lose ourselves and find ourselves at the same time." ~ Thomas Merton

A safe place
​for sensitives

It has been said, that S&S is a gathering for empaths & lightworkers. Since the beginning, this festival was designed by its founder Alexander (himself a "highly sensitive person") to be a haven for "HSP's". It's a refuge for individuals who want to experience the amazing artistry of big festivals, yet without the large crowds, drugs & alcohol, ear piercing noise, and general over-stimulation. We tend to limit ticket sales to a couple hundred people (often much less), and we only have one stage, going on this journey together as one collective group.

Exquisite Arts  &  Healing Hearts

"I like to joke that if a festival married a retreat and had a child, her name would be Sound & Silence. Indeed, since our inception, S&S has been a harmonious merging between these two polarities, integrating the essence of each and celebrating their union. So while S&S is highly festive, it's not designed to be a music festival. It's more like a large holistic retreat with excellent artistry. This is true for all of our offerings. They have the same freedom and flexibility of festivals, while being intimate, grounded and guided like retreats. It's the best of both worlds! And while S&S has lots of high quality and heart opening music, it's still only a fraction of our process. For us, sound is simply one of many tools we use to guide us to those ecstatic spaces beyond the music. In fact, the majority of our time together is spent in workshops, classes, healing sessions, and enjoying healthy food in a nourishing environment. In the end, S&S is a dance, guiding us all back into alignment & attunement with our natural rhythms"  

 ~ Founder of S&S, Alexander
