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. |
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 artist & audience. Our team is dedicated to deepening this quality of intimacy. With carefully selected facilitators, musicians, dancers and space holders, ALL committed to join our journey from start to finish, and to guide our every step toward joyful celebration.
At S&S, we journey together as one.

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.

It has been said, that S&S is a gathering for empaths & lightworkers. Since the beginning, these events were designed by its founder Alexander Sarvaan (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. Our retreats are around 50 people, and we only have one stage, going on this journey together as one collective group.

"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. However, while S&S is highly festive, it's not a festival. It's more like a holistic retreat with amazing artistry. It's still flexible and relaxed, but much more intimate, grounded and guided. It's the best of both worlds!
While S&S has a lot of beautiful & heart opening music, it's still only a fraction of our process. For us, sound is simply one of many powerful 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 Sarvaan
"The kind of meeting of a lifetime ... the magic happens in the meetings of sound and silence... a natural state of connection and happiness! I had the most beautiful experiences."

"Pure Magic ... Sound & Silence is much more than a festival, it's like coming home, home to a place where my visions of how a new society could work had an example ... "

"The gathering in Corfu was without a doubt the best meeting I've been in. I'm very happy to know that you will continue to create the most magical meetings again."
