White Light Festival Program Every day a wide range of inspiration
During White Light Festival, you create your own program.
Every day there are multiple workshops, sessions, and concerts — spread across different rooms.
Sometimes small and intimate, sometimes grand and captivating. Some expansive, some calming.
Although there’s no fixed format, each day revolves around a theme, as part of a transformation process. And within that, you follow your curiosity, your needs, your heart.
🧘 Day 1 – Discover – Journey Inward 💜 Day 2 – Deepen – Heart in Connection 🧠 Day 3 – Connect – Wisdom of the Body 💃 Day 4 – Wonder – Free Movement 🙇♀️ Day 5 – Heal – The Power of Healing
Each workshop has a legend with emoticons. These indicate which themes the workshop focuses on (1 is a little, 5 is a lot), and how physically intense the session is. For example:
🧘 3 💜 2 🧠 4 💃 1 🙇♀️ 1 💪 5
The muscle (💪) stands apart from the thematic icons and shows how physically demanding the session is. This way, you can estimate in advance what a session asks of you, and what it might bring.
The Main Hall Program
While the smaller halls have lots of charm and invite deep inner work, the Main Hall also offers a rich program.
Each day begins in the early morning with Sadhana: mantras, yoga, and meditation. This sets a beautiful frequency that’s hard to resist as a participant. The benefit of Sadhana with a large group is that you’re carried by the group’s pure energy. For many people, Sadhana alone is already enough. But of course, there is much more…
After breakfast, a yoga session begins, always led by a very experienced and kind teacher.
Then there are two workshops: one in the morning and one in the afternoon. Again, you can expect very skilled teachers who fully embody their teachings and share with joy. In nearly all cases, your body is an essential instrument during these workshops.
Every evening there is a performance. On Wednesday we begin gently with a lying concert by singer Krystl; on Saturday evening we’ll dance freely to the beats of Ecstatic Dance DJ Kareem Raihani.
