THE SACRED SPACE

The Sacred Space, curated by Above & Below Collective, serves as a sanctuary of balance and grounding within the broader environment of an electronic music festival. Its purpose is to maintain a field of calm, clarity, and embodied presence amidst the heightened stimulation of the event. Our collective’s mission is to bridge the transcendental with the tangible, the Earth and sky. We at Above & Below collective work on integrating awareness, somatic intelligence, and communal care into the festival experience.

 

This space is held by practitioners from diverse modalities; including music, yoga, breathwork, somatic therapy, and various forms of ceremonial practice; ensuring an inclusive and supportive environment accessible to all participants. The intention is to sustain a shared atmosphere of respect, restoration, and guidance throughout the duration of the festival.

In essence, the Sacred Space functions as a living reminder that celebration and contemplation can coexist.
