In the summer of 2022 the Blue Monkey opens its gates again and welcomes you to dance, heal and connect together as a tribe! We are gathering in a non-judgemental space where everybody is allowed to come with whatever is present for them at the moment. Let’s nourish ourselves and each other with real heart connection and community… 🥰 💎 A Place for Healing and Connection💎  There will be Ecstatic Dance, DJ sets, sound journeys, concerts, morning yoga and transformative workshops from the fields of Breathwork, Meditation, Trauma Healing, Inner Child Work, Shamanism and more.

Every morning we meet in small tribe groups in which you can share and be heard with whatever comes up for you. We have experienced the circling groups as incredibly healing and transformative. They foster a deep connection with the people from your festival family. 💎 Selfcare 💎  Festivals can be busy and we offer a lot of activities – so please chose where you want to go – or just go with the flow. Take good care of yourself. Take time to rest and integrate. There is a huge forest just next to the venue. Go for a walk. Connect with nature. Dive into the lake. Let nature heal and purify you. 💎 Healing Space: Bodywork & Massages 💎  The Healing Space will be held by an amazing group of healers and spaceholders that will take care of you if you need empathy during the gathering. Our healers come from the fields of Pantarei, Shamanism, Bodywork and Massage. They also offer paid individual sessions if you want to go deeper. 💎 Sauna & Sweatlodge (Temaczal) 💎 From the afternoon until the night our Monkey sauna will be hot and running. The sauna master Torge, supported by Sascha, is going to pamper you with aroma oil infusions and fragrance journeys… A highlight will be definitely the nightly sauna sessions, accompanied by some soft yet danceable DJ sets/ Live Acts. In order to help covering the costs, we ask those that want to use it to pay a one time fee of 10€ at the Check-in on Thursday or directly to Torge and Sascha. Our Sweatlodge shamans Mario Lange & Kerstin Dettin will also offer their incredible Temazcal again for a fair extra fee that you can pay at the Check-in on Thursday or directly to them. A Sweatlodge is a transformative indigenous ritual of healing and purification. If you want to sweat, relax and dance in the night, hang out at the sauna space. If you want to go deep, try the Temaczal!  💎 Transport 💎  By car:� Take the B158 (e.g. via B109), enter Leuenberg, turn right onto Gartenstraße and follow the map below.
