Welcome to The Sound & Silence Experience
.
OUR VISION & MISSION
To create space for more art, collaboration, and celebration for our generation
|
Welcome to Sound & Silence, where joyful celebration and heart-centered collaboration meet in an atmosphere of magic making. No longer just one big festival, instead S&S is the parent to a growing variety of smaller retreats and gatherings, all designed for lovers of exquisite artistry and the silent spaces they emerge from. Our events offer deeply relaxing and meditative experiences, while enjoying the rapturous and bounteous artistry and workshops often found at the much larger festivals, yet without the maddening crowds, loudness and general over-stimulation. Often with 50 or less in attendance, we hold a vibrant yet gentle container which gives our participants the feeling of spaciousness, along with plenty of room to feel the expansive nature of our refined offerings.
Our gatherings host many gifted musicians, dancers, yogis, poets, group facilitators, artists and healers who have all chosen to offer their gifts in the spirit of selfless service. With guided meditations, yoga, dance and healing music leading the way, we enter into the blissful realms of sound and silence, and the joyful states of stillness and movement... |
|
AND WE DO THIS ON ONE STAGE ONLY! We believe in traveling together as one tribe, so we are not spread out with multiple stages and too many choices, thus, no fear of missing out... one program, one stage, one family, one LOVE.

Our Commitment to integrity
These gatherings will always be rooted in the heart. Intimate, mindful, and with the spirit of togetherness, playfulness and creative courage. Our carefully selected performers are not only gifted with great talent, but they are also kind-hearted humans with an eagerness to support, collaborate, connect and improvise as well. They join us from start to finish and their presence, openness and accessibility are just one of many reasons why Sound & Silence has become a unique gathering sought out by both performance artist and participant alike. There is a shared resonance between all of us in attendance, a kindness and joy that spreads from smiling face to smiling face.

These gatherings will always be about quality over quantity. We will never be a big gathering. We feel that keeping it small and intimate is a big reason behind the special vibe and strong unity we create together. Also, there is something very special about experiencing your favorite artists in a small venue. In the end, our focus is, and always will be on connectivity, co-creativity, and offering an abundance of magic for all to enjoy.

These gatherings will always be a great place to learn and try new things. From the first rays of the morning sun until well after the sun goes down, participants will gather on the sacred grounds of an ancient land, sampling music and meditative arts from far reaching lands and widely varying backgrounds and spiritual pathways.
|
These gatherings will always be open to all people from all backgrounds and faiths. We have no single dogma or creed at Sound & Silence, rather we are a collection of diverse individuals believing in the Oneness of all beings and the beauty of all pathways. You don't need to be a great meditator or be able to recite the Vedas. The only requirement of our guests is that they come with an open mind and open heart.
