Dear Friend,

Thank you for your wish to share your gifts with us! We are deeply moved that our gathering has called forth your soul to be warmed by our fire. We bow to you!

Before we take our first steps into co-creation together, we all need to enter into an agreement field. So Before you submit your applications, we feel that there are some things you should know in advance:

Sound & Silence is about frequency, shared resonance, deep connection, collaboration, support and intimacy. This "being together throughout" is what facilitates new friendships and spontaneous creations which lead to unforgettable moments on (and off) stage, while creating many future opportunities after the fire goes out. So our contributors are asked to be with us from start to finish and to be present throughout the gathering. If your only interest is to play/teach, collect a paycheck and go, sorry but this is probably not the right gathering for you.

At our core, we are building a loving and lasting community, not just a fleeting festival experience. So while incredible artistic talent and genius is greatly valued, what we value most, is the quality of your heart. Our artists, teachers and healers share a collective desire to connect deeply and authentically with their audience, and create spaces within their music and meditation which bridges heaven and earth...

Lastly, we do not do any paid marketing or advertising for our events. We prefer grass roots movement, word of mouth promotion and organic growth. We also love for our guests to come from the networks of our contributors and prefer to pay our artists instead of advertisers. So please know that you will be asked to help us spread our message to your networks.
The Final Five – A Request from Sound & Silence to all submitting Artists & Teachers:
  • We ask all artists, teachers & healers to be with us from start to finish
  • We ask all " " to be present throughout and to support the other artists, musically and otherwise
  • We ask all " " to take their meals with us and engage with our guests.
  • We ask all " " to actively support our marketing & promotional efforts
  • We ask all " " to be playful, spontaneous, and courageous. Much of the magic happens when we take a risk, go off script, and allow the musical muse residing within all of us to take the reins for a little while…

​*A Note to DJ's: Guys and gals, this is mainly a live music gathering so we typically have only 1 (occasionally 2) DJ's for each event. They are chosen with care to offer conscious sets, pleasant resonances and usually support the gathering with an Ecstatic Dance Workshop or Trance Dance Ritual. 

** A final note to Artists: Even if you are not chosen for a concert slot, we encourage you to come and join us for this artistic journey. This is a gathering designed for artists by artists, and our audience is full of talented musicians, dancers, poets and more, and many of them do make their way on our stage. So come and join us, make yourself seen and heard, and who knows, anything can happen when you let yourself shine! <3
In Their Own Words: What Our Artists Have To Say About S&S...
"Pure Magic ... Sound & Silence is much more than a festival, it is like coming home. Home to a place, where my visions of how a new society could work got an example ... there is space for the heart is speaking, space for silence and expression, for love and creativity, for laughter and tears... and space for everyone's truth.
It is not about music ...it is beyond music, it is - what I felt since a while for myself but never found on a festival so far - about being and melting with all beauty we are in the field of universal sound that is surrounding us always, within nature, within silence, within a strong feeling of connection, and share this magic with everyone. A new tribe was born, (or maybe just remembered :-) ... thank you universe for guiding me to that place....thank you Corfu-tribe for the experience of the new earth community. Thank you love."

"​Being invited to the Sound and Silence gatherings in 2016 & 2017 to join the group of international artists was the biggest honour of my career to date. The gatherings themselves took me on a journey of deep healing, radical inspiration and personal transformation. The days spent within this mothership of beauty, music and magical unfoldings, were genuinely some of the most profoundly affirmative experiences of bringing me home to who I truly am as a soul, an artist, and a being with a purpose. I will always have endless gratitude for Sarvaan for "seeing me" early in my career and inviting me to step up and stand alongside my idols - artists who continue to inspire me for both their work in the world musically and humanitarianly. I have so much love for these sacred gatherings and hope they grow from strength to strength, and that I am able to join you for many more to come."
~ Elise Yuill
​"I bow down with such gratitude - there aren't adequate words to describe the depth of beauty that was present in so many forms these past 8 days. Sarvaan Ziva thank you from the expanses of my heart for having me as part of this exquisite group. It touches me deeply to know that each one of the beings present at the gathering is going back into their lives with a deeper knowing of the truth of their beautiful Beingness. This is how the world changes, with people who are willing to BE and to Shine and to deeply LOVE. I love you all."
​~ Brenda McMorrow
I've been traveling all over the world the last 30 years playing in hundreds of festivals and this is the most unique gathering I have ever been to.
