Come together for fun, creativity, and the spirit of world peace.
Join us from December 31, 2025, to January 4, 2026, for four days of music, dance, workshops, and nature, all set in a drug and alcohol-free environment designed for families, singles, and all kinds of couples.

The Festival for World Peace is more than just an event – it’s a celebration of life, culture, and connection. Over four days, you can immerse yourself in live music, dance, inspiring workshops, meditative practices, and creative activities for all ages. Whether you come for the rhythm, the art, the healing, or simply the joy of being with others, you’ll find something that nourishes both heart and soul.

Our lineup of artists brings together talent from around the world and across traditions:

Shivam Rath – A multi-instrumentalist who blends the classical Indian slide guitar with modern beats, Shivam’s music carries a meditative, transcendental quality that draws in listeners seeking depth and fusion.
Shunya – This genre-bending artist blends electronic soundscapes with live instrumentation, creating music that is soulful, experimental, and utterly original. Shunya appeals to people who love fresh, boundary-pushing sounds with an emotional core.
Kathryn Riding – A poet, singer, and workshop facilitator, Kathryn’s performances are rich with spoken word, story, and song. She appeals to those who love reflective, heart-centered art that brings both beauty and insight.
Eltara – With her ethereal voice and evocative melodies, Eltara weaves soundscapes that invite listeners into a dreamlike space. Her music resonates with anyone who loves angelic vocals and music that feels healing and otherworldly.
Sudeep – A master of devotional chanting and soulful music, Sudeep creates an atmosphere of reverence and joy. His work appeals to those drawn to the spiritual dimension of music, offering moments of connection and upliftment.
And many more – Each day will feature surprise performers, local talents, and collaborative sessions that bring everyone together in the spirit of peace.

Beyond the music and dance, the workshops offer opportunities to grow, connect, and learn. Highlights include Nonviolent Communication, a practical and transformative way of relating that helps participants build empathy and understanding in their relationships.

The arts and crafts village will host painting, drawing, and hands-on creative activities where you can tap into your inner artist, no matter your experience.

Each morning begins with yoga to awaken the body, followed by meditation to center the mind and spirit – setting a calm and positive tone for the day ahead. Throughout the festival, you’ll also find cool-time activities: spaces to relax, connect with others, or simply enjoy the natural beauty of the sanctuary.

The Festival for World Peace is a chance to enjoy yourself, explore new experiences, and share in a collective vision of harmony. With music, movement, creativity, and mindful practice, we come together not just for fun, but for something greater – the simple yet profound act of promoting peace in the world, beginning with ourselves.
