Satyaa and Pari – Music for the Heart

Satyaa and Pari will perform a live concert on Saturday evening, and on Sunday morning, they will invite us to mantra singing in our Forest Temple.

Through their music, Satyaa and Pari invite us to open our hearts and connect with the universal source of love. Their concerts are a unique experience of deep presence, singing, and dancing – a celebration of life in its purest form.

If you are not able to join us for the whole weekend, you are still very welcome to attend just the concert on Saturday, June 28 at 7:00 PM.


Playful

For små og store blir det aktiviteter ute i naturen og inne, som kanopadling, steinmaling og andre kreative aktiviter.

Presence and Love for 25 Years

This year, Dharma Mountain celebrates its 25th anniversary, and we’re excited to mark this special occasion with you during the festival weekend. Since its beginning in 2000, Dharma Mountain has hosted countless groups and retreats focused on meditation, mindfulness, self-discovery, and creativity. It is a center where anyone wishing to get to know themselves better can come to find peace, presence, and acceptance. Everyone who works here has meditation as a part of their daily life, and both meditation and love are deeply woven into the atmosphere.
