Greetings!
We are thrilled to share the details of our third edition of "The Musical Gathering" - a one-of-a-kind musical odyssey in Greece, taking place next summer from 16-22 July 2023. From the creators of Sound & Silence Festival, this newly designed musical retreat focuses on the creative process, calling together highly skilled multi-instrumentalists and improvisational savants who will serenade us with otherworldly performances each night. Many of them will also lead us in high powered workshops each morning as well.

This retreat is also designed to be deeply relaxing and rejuvenating, using yoga (with live music), sound healing, music themed workshops, and instrumental meditations to bring about deep peace and healing.
|
More of a refined holiday retreat than a festival, we will spend our mornings and evenings experiencing the joys of inspiring artistry and delightful activities, while most of our afternoons are free to enjoy a massage, a swim in Corfu's soothing seas, or a simple siesta. Dinners are recommended along one of Arillas' many seaside restaurants and cafés.

Our home for the week is the Corfu Buddha Hall, one of Europe's premier retreat centers. Spacious and sitting on a mountain top blanketed with olive and cypress trees, the Buddha Hall offers not only incredible views, but a rare combination of excellent group spaces. One of the only retreat centers in the world that boasts a large air-conditioned indoor space, as well as a sizeable outdoor music venue. You can be sure that we will make a lot of magic in both of them. This place is exquisite!

And all of this happens in Arillas, one of the worlds fastest growing spirit centers and wellness destinations. It will not take long for you to see why, the place is magnetic and the energy there is simply wonderful.
Side note - while the Buddha Hall easily fits 100 + people, we are limiting our group size to 44 people, so that we can maintain a peaceful intimacy while also giving space to those who need it.

Meet Our Musicians
"When mastery is near, the songs disappear, and all becomes music." What is Mastery? Some say it's 10,000 hours of deliberate practice. Others say it's a gift that you are born with. We believe it's both. What happens when you practice 20,000 hours or more? Basically you get this group below!
We have assembled a sweet, passionate and versatile team of musical artists, an inspiring and illustrious group with the ability to improvise and make breathtaking music on the spot, alone and as a group. Together they will offer concerts, instrumental meditations, sound healing journeys, musical workshops and more.
We love the element of surprise this group gives us, you never know what magic is just around the corner...

And Now Meet Our:
Yoga Teachers
Six mornings, six extraordinary teachers. When they say "Rise & Shine", this is what they are talking about, no better way to start the day! These yogis are experts in multiple disciplines and will be guiding their students on an "intuitive yoga" experience, based on what is needed in the moment.
Coming Soon...
What About The Program?
Every program is an experiential song, and this one is going to have us swooning! Inspiring and uplifting, a beautiful blend of carefully curated musical offerings, which are added to yoga classes, workshops and of course breathtaking evening performances. Five days and six nights of wonderful music that will have you feeling relaxed yet energized, while also leaving you plenty of time to enjoy the cozy atmosphere of Arillas and its beautiful surroundings.
Here is the complete Program from our recent gathering (all artists are returning in 2023):
We will be offering some spontaneous and fun activities/workshops in the afternoons as well.

Booking Details
***Tickets will become available on the Autumn Equinox on 21 September***
See you in Corfu for the time of your life!
While deep healing and transformation is always a natural and delightful part of our journey together, we seek to enjoy simple being, sparks of creativity and the joys of friendship and community. Our focus will be on finding a balance between active listening, playful engagement and inner silence.
Not as rigid as a retreat, not as wild as a festival, we will find our flow somewhere in the middle.
We are looking forward to celebrating some blissful summer days on the island we all love so much. Singing, dancing, meditating, enjoying sunsets, starry skies, and healthy, (delicious!) food are all predictable. But the real treasures will come from the spontaneous magic we will experience together. All are welcome, all are invited, the water is warm, jump in!
