This is a sacred space where we come together to sing, pray, open our hearts, and feel the deep connection that reminds us we are all related, all part of the One. Chanting mantras is considered one of the greatest blessings of the Kali Yuga—the age we are living in—because the songs and the vibrations of our voices hold a unique power to bring us back to our true selves, reminding us of who and what we truly are. In a time of division, these songs guide us back into unity, something we deeply need.

These kinds of sacred circles have the power to transform our lives. You can feel that transformation as the harmony of your truth resonates with the truth of others while singing together as one.

This experience is a special musical treat because, alongside Ish Van, you'll always find her band, made up of professional musicians playing a variety of instruments that enrich the sound of our prayers. This time, we are joined by Rajko, who plays all kinds of drums you can imagine—from djembe and African duns to calabash and cajón and Kruno Carić who is a master of all string instruments that exist. He will bring his gudalka, 12-string guitar, his flute, some mongolian instruments nobody knows how to name and who knows what else jumps into his hand on the way to the door.

Ish Van is a yoga teacher, mathematician and a professional singer with a deep love for creating safe spaces for flow, creativity, prayer, and connection to the heart. Ish Van also teaches Kundalini yoga and Inner medicine teachings according to Lakota tradition, so in her singing ceremonies, she blends Hindu mantras with Kundalini mantras, Icaros and sacred songs that celebrate the nature of love and our existence.

In this voice activation & singing circle, we’ll awaken the power of our voices as a tool for freedom, connection, and healing. 

Through guided exercises, rhythmic exploration, and shared songs, we’ll break through limitations and tap into the raw, authentic sound within us. 

No experience needed—just a willingness to express and listen. Together, we’ll create a space where every voice is honored, blending in harmony and prayerful sound.

Zala and Žiga are the founders of Svetal.si, a platform dedicated to supporting, healing, and empowering individuals. Their primary tools are sound and music. Through sound therapy, energy healing, and deep voice work, they help people connect with their true selves, their free expression, their bodies, and their feelings—bringing relaxation and empowerment on the path of self-healing and soul purpose.

They continuously deepen their knowledge and, for the past two years, have been sharing it through a sound academy for both adults and children.

Crystal sound bath is designed for all lovers of healing sounds who wish to deeply relax, let go of the "backpack" of expectations, worries, fears, judgments, and physical tensions, and reconnect with their true essence.

During the sound bath, you will be lying or sitting in a comfortable position, immersing yourself in the high vibrations of crystal bowls, shamanic drums, vocals, guitar, and many other holistic instruments.

Let’s gift ourselves the vibrations of ancient instruments that have contributed to human well-being for millennia! The frequencies of these ancient, handcrafted instruments spread throughout our bodies, interacting and resonating with our fluids, stimulating flow, and thus healing our mental, emotional, physical, and energetic bodies.

That is why the gong is one of the most effective tools for personal and collective growth! The more we are exposed to its vibrations, the more benefits we receive. It gives us exactly what we need in that moment. For some, it offers deep relaxation and release from daily stress, while for others, it activates inner processes. We invite you to surrender and simply observe the moment as it is. And, of course, breathe. Boštjan, intuitive who loves to say that he doesn't play the gongs — the gongs play him.

Boštjan is an intuitive musician, dedicated explorer, and practitioner of sound baths. Through the vibrations of the gong, Himalayan bowls, and other holistic instruments, he helps people achieve inner balance. With love and clear intention, he creates a safe space for deep relaxation and connection with oneself and one’s inner healer.

Their journey is intertwined with the exploration of sound, intuitive expression, energy, and harmony, which he brings to life through sound baths and other transformative events under the name The Sound of the Heart. His vision is to raise awareness of the power of sound and the profound impact of vibration on the body, mind, and soul.

Join him on an unforgettable sonic journey!

Discover the power of your voice and experience the unique harmony of group singing in this in-depth vocal workshop, designed for everyone who wishes to explore polyphony, develop their vocal expression, and feel the joy of singing in community. This workshop welcomes those with basic singing experience as well as anyone seeking new pathways to personal growth and relaxation through the voice.

Through breathwork and resonance exercises, we will strengthen the stability, power, and presence of the voice, while also learning to listen and harmonize with others to create a rich blend of sounds. In a safe and supportive space, we will co-create spontaneous vocal compositions and explore free expression, opening the door to a deeper connection with ourselves and one another.

His musical journey is deeply connected to the Nomadic University, which led him across all continents of the world. He studied ceremonial singing in the Sahara and Mali, where he spent a significant amount of time exploring the magical power of tribal song.

"Singing is alchemy—it transforms the weight of life into joy and the lightness of being," says Aleksander. He has woven this knowledge together with his Balkan roots to create a unique musical style.

Aleksander Kozmič is a sound alchemist and a guide through the sonic dimensions of the unknown. A visionary of sensing, a boundless improviser, and an embodied messenger of cosmic vibrations.

The opening cacao ceremony will guide us into the sacred space of the heart. In the embrace of gentle love, we will be led through a deeply meditative experience.

The festival’s opening ceremony will be a weaving of a guided ritual with ceremonial cacao, led by Spela Sol, and a channeled meditation facilitated by Miha Itanimon.

The cacao prayer will be supported by the wisdom of cosmovision and the energy of the day. Spela will share with us the history and origin of this sacred heart medicine, and together we will sing a song in honor of cacao.

Ceremonial cacao is a special, sacred form of cacao that differs from industrially produced cacao not only in its method of cultivation but also in the intention with which it is consumed. When we drink this sacred elixir, we connect with the spirit of cacao — the guardian of the heart — who gently opens our inner gates, awakens love, and supports deep healing. For thousands of years, it has been used by ancient cultures for ceremonial purposes: in shamanic rituals, meditations, healing processes, and other spiritual practices.

The opening cacao ceremony is a beautiful opportunity to awaken your inner intention for the festival and to connect in a shared intention as a community.

Spela's greatest wish is to live in a community where they can grow, create, and build together. Her passion is connecting people and raising the vibration of both individuals and the community. She views cacao as a sacred medicine that helps us vibrate from the heart, beyond the ego and mind. In Guatemala, she learned from the Mayan shaman Walter and discovered the power of cacao and the Mayan cosmology. She believes it must be consumed with respect – with awareness of where it comes from and where it leads us.

Miha Itanimon Korošec is a medium for messages from star beings, an entrepreneur, and a visionary. At the age of 18, he founded his own company, where for the past six years, he has been researching and developing projects and visions that co-create a better world. He is the founder of the brands Nova dimenzija podjetništva™, Dream Creator, and Under The Stars, as well as the organizer of the Guardians Festival. His deep love for storytelling inspires him to become a film screenwriter, director, and producer, using cinematic art to create stories that change the world.

The Lantern Ceremony is our traditional ritual at the Guardians Festival.

As the sun sets behind the nearby hill, we gather around the fire and unite in a shared intention. We release three lanterns into the sky - one for our personal intention, one for the community, and one for the world. Each lantern carries our intentions high into the heavens, like luminous messages to the universe.

As we watch them rise into the night sky, a sense of connection, hope, and trust in life awakens within us. This ceremony reminds us that we are part of something greater, that our thoughts and intentions matter, and that only together can we create a more loving world.

2Obred lampijonov je naš tradicionalni obred na Guardians Festivalu.

Ko sonce zaide za bližnji hrib, se zberemo ob ognju in povežemo v skupni nameri. V nebo spustimo tri lampijone - prvega za našo osebno namero, drugega za skupnost in tretjega za ves svet. Vsak od njih ponese naše namere visoko v nebo, kot svetlobna sporočila vesolju.

Ko opazujemo, kako se lampijoni dvigajo v nočno nebo, se v naših srcih prebudi občutek povezanosti, upanja in zaupanja v življenje. Ta obred nas spomni, da smo del nečesa večjega, da so naše misli in namere pomembne ter da lahko samo skupaj ustvarimo lepši svet.

"Stay still, do not be afraid. The light of the inner Sun will not burn you," Kolpa once told me, long ago, as she welcomed me into her healing embrace. A warm river, the Healer. Long before words existed, she cast her spells with a raven by her side. She is a Healer — tending to the wounded and the broken, holding the memory of our original code in her depths, guiding us through our wounds into the light of the inner Sun.

Rivers are calling the tribes of people who are ready to step into the essence of life, to listen to their stories, let them flow through their bodies and voices, to honor, celebrate, and co-create with them.

It is time to grow into Guardians of Life — those who honor the rivers with their voices and call their sacredness back into the world.

You are invited to a workshop where, through storytelling and ritual, we will connect with the Kolpa River.

A space where you connect with yourself in the present moment through meditative tea drinking.

The tea ceremony is a celebration of presence and silence. It guides you into your inner depth while connecting you with the people around you and the space itself. Its purpose is to become part of your daily experience, an integral part of your being. This ancient practice, a mastery that dates back thousands of years, originated in China and has traveled the world. We will be drinking black tea.

You are warmly invited to join me for a cup of tea in silence, embraced by the beauty of nature.

The tea ceremony is available for an additional fee of €10. Spaces are limited.

Eva Skledar is a seeker of life, a facilitator of women's workshops and programs focused on movement, creative expression, and yoga. She lives in an off-grid village deep in the wilderness of the Kočevje forest, where her greatest teacher is nature itself.

For the past seven years, she has been exploring deeper truths and sharing embodied wisdom with women. Her passion lies in group dynamics, which she weaves together with ceremonies and rituals as initiations into authentic nature. She is drawn to the primal, wild feminine essence, which she embodies through working with blood, ancestors, herbs, teas, the elements, voice, and body.

An intimate and safe space for exploring feminine energy through movement, breath, touch, sensuality, and ritual.

This circle supports the embodiment of softness, strength, and vulnerability, fostering a deep connection with your own body and with other women. Together, we will awaken our wild, intuitive nature—always present within us, simply waiting to be set free.

​​Kahani Cosmica is a sacred space where women return to themselves, to their full expression through dance, rituals, and sisterhood. We honor the beauty of life, the interweaving of endings and beginnings, where death and creation coexist.

In this space, feminine and masculine energies find balance, dancing together in continuous harmony.

We tell the stories of Life and the Universe, flowing through us like waterfalls. Each month, we return them to Mother Earth, infused with our blood as a sacred offering. Through them, we heal one another - simply because we allow ourselves to share.

This space is held by dancers, creators, and choreographers Eva Skledar and Manca Langus.

In the facial exercise and self-massage workshop, we will strengthen the facial muscles, stimulate natural blood circulation, and reduce tension through targeted facial movements. You will learn simple self-massage techniques that improve skin elasticity and release facial tension.

This workshop offers a beautiful opportunity to reconnect with yourself, restore your energy, and nurture your natural beauty – through touch and mindful awareness.

Anja has always been a curious explorer – of the world, the body, and herself. Her endless desire to discover led her, at the age of eighteen, to live and work with an Indian family in England. With their support, she began to explore the richness of Indian culture, entered the world of yoga, and wondered about the meaning behind the mantras they chanted together in a temple in the middle of London, while she herself tried eagerly to catch at least a few words.

Her curiosity then guided her across many parts of the world, where she deepened her knowledge of yoga, facial exercises, massage, and the healing power of touch.

Today, she shares the wisdom she has gained through her life experiences and the insights brought to her through travels and exploration. She describes herself as a lifelong student—believing that her greatest university is life itself.

Ancient south american knowledge in rapé ritual.

Carlos Merchan, a Colombian native with indigenous roots, guides this profound ritual to support the flow of energy in a transformative way and to help you reconnect with your inner self.

This journey invites you to understand yourself and your shadows, to see what is usually hidden, and to cultivate gratitude for it. It offers an opportunity to acknowledge your fears and face them, to step outside your comfort zone—and learn how to navigate it.

We will work with the sacred medicine known as Rapé, a gift from Pacha Mama (Mother Nature). This medicine leads us on a powerful physical and spiritual inner journey, culminating in a peaceful and surrendered awakening of spiritual sensitivity.

There will be 2–3 intimate Rapé ceremonies at the Guardians Festival. An additional contribution of €25 per person is required.

Carlos Merchan was born in Colombia, under the wings of the Chibcha culture. Through the creation of the Ritual Hunters movement, he teaches people how to maintain health in spirit, mind, and body—integrating ancestral medicines and plants, connecting with the elements of nature, and sharing knowledge about various tribes and cosmogonies, such as those of the Amazon and beyond—always with deep respect and the proper permissions.

Having come close to death himself, Carlos has developed a profound and beautiful perception of life. After several accidents, doctors told him he would be lucky to walk again. Yet he fully recovered the mobility of his body and has since developed his own training method. For more than 30 years, he has been teaching and helping people around the world to take care of their “armours.”

His core philosophy and teaching is: "You are the medicine."

At the main festival venue, there will be a special space dedicated to children aged 0 to 9, where both kids and their families can enjoy a variety of activities.

Anže, Jaka, Jerneja, and Petra have created a magical land where children will explore the enchanting world of natural elements - water, air, earth, fire, and love - through play, creativity, and discovery. Each activity will be infused with these forces of nature, allowing children to experience them through sensory, movement, and artistic expressions.

Crystal hunts, circus skills, forest adventures, musical creativity, storytelling, and heartfelt workshops will create a playful, inspiring, and safe space for children to explore. Meanwhile, parents can relax and immerse themselves in the festival experience.

At the beginning of this dance adventure, we will awaken our bodies together through fun games and simple movement exercises. Then, we’ll surrender to the music and step into a magical world of dance—where there are no rules, and every move is the right one!

This is a time to jump, spin, dance like animals, fly like superheroes, or create our own unique dance moves. The music guides us in exploring, expressing, and releasing all the energy we carry within. In this safe space, we can be exactly who we are, free from rules and limitations. Together, we create a dance story filled with laughter, play, and joy.

Manca explores the depths of her inner world through movement. Her journey is filled with a love for dance, contact improvisation, embodiment, and yoga, where she expresses the connection between body and spirit through movement. In recent years, she has deepened her spiritual practice, sensing energies that transcend the physical and reach into subtle realms. With her presence and knowledge, she frees people from old patterns of thinking, movement, and perception of their own bodies and the world around them. Her mission is to awaken true freedom and joy of being in others.

The Sound workshop for children is designed for kids aged 0 to 15 years. Through various techniques and exercises, we will explore the world of sound, music, movement, and voice, allowing children to discover instruments and their free expression through play and group dynamics.

Every child is welcome, as musical talent is not the focus. Instead, the emphasis is on energy release, connecting with sound and music, bonding with peers, and joyfully exploring life.

U obližnjoj šumi zaživjet će tajni kamp osmišljen za djecu od 10 do 14 godina, s programom prilagođenim njihovoj dobi i znatiželji.

Together with Matic, children will explore the natural elements - fire, water, earth, air, and energy - through experiential learning. Inspired by these forces, they will develop inner strength, perseverance, and patience, learn to overcome fears, and strengthen mutual trust and cooperation through movement, creative, and exploratory workshops.

They will gather around the fire, sharing stories, experiences, and whispering secret wishes into the flames. And who knows – they might even embark on a spontaneous adventure, leaving the festival with unforgettable memories!

In this workshop, you will get familiar with the basic partner acrobatics (or acro yoga) positions. In a fun and safe way, we will teach you some fundamentals and then connect them into a short flow. Throughout the workshop, you will develop mutual trust and cooperation, which are essential for this activity. Don't worry if you have no prior experience, as none is required to participate. It’s great if you attend the workshop with a partner (or in a larger group), but you are also welcome to come alone, and we will pair you with other individuals during the workshop.

Acro Connection is represented by Matjaž and Alja. After careers in gymnastics and dance, they fell in love with partner acrobatics, which they have been practicing for over five years. In 2023, they performed on Slovenia’s Got Talent and made it to the finals.

In addition to performing, they also teach partner acrobatics. This year, they successfully completed their fourth season, and their community currently consists of more than 130 students.

In dynamic Kriya yoga practice, I create a safe space and invite you to allow yourself to be everything you are, to feel and express everything that flows through you. In practice, this is expressed through shaking, dynamic movements, tapping, various breathing techniques, and free expression – it can be through shouting, roaring, laughter, crying, or even just a moment of silence. In Kriya yoga, everything is allowed within the 100 minutes, of course, while respecting the space of others, honoring their processes, and releasing your energy into the earth, not directed against any individual.

The purpose of the practice is to cleanse our energetic body, feel our center, and expand our light!

Špela is a great enthusiast of authentic expression, art, creation, and especially connecting in circles where she can raise her vibration, the vibration of those around her, and ultimately the vibration of the planet with her presence and light. This is actually her mission – spreading light in the best possible way in any given moment.

In 2020, while living in Bali, she discovered Energy Release Kriya Yoga, which gave her the freedom to express all repressed emotions, words, traumas, and limiting patterns. Later, in 2023, she completed facilitator training and has since held space for many people, allowing them to surrender to the flow of life energy and express themselves in ways that are unfortunately not always accepted in modern society.

In the fluid Synergy Yoga practice, I offer you a space to feel effortless movement and activate energy that is often blocked due to excessive tension, both on a physical and mental level.

Synergy blends elements of yoga, Tai Chi, Qigong, dance, and physiotherapy into a harmonious experience that will help you release tension, activate energy, and invite you into new dimensions of physical and spiritual connection.

The practice is suitable for all levels.

David Lah is a certified teacher of the Synergy Yoga method and Hatha/Vinyasa yoga, as well as a lifelong explorer of movement.

His approach is based on the belief that everyone deserves a healthy body and a peaceful mind and that life doesn’t have to be difficult. Yoga is not a process of adding but rather of removing—releasing tension, limiting patterns, and everything that obscures the natural freedom beneath the surface.

Through his practice, he offers people a space where they can rediscover the lightness of movement, the calmness of the mind, and the sense of wholeness that is always present beneath the surface.

Step onto the mat with enthusiasm and surrender to the natural rhythm of your body in this Vinyasa Yoga Flow.

Move with attunement to sensation, breath, and rhythm, embracing momentum, expansion, and moments of stillness. Through seamless transitions, creative variations, and opportunities for personal expression, you’ll cultivate both strength and fluidity while deepening your mind-body awareness and developing a deeper appreciation for your body’s innate intelligence. 

Come ready to explore, breathe, and flow with intention. All levels welcome.

A dynamic practice where asanas are linked through breath with a functional approach that goes beyond traditional methods. This version integrates myofascial programming, neurobiomechanics, and neural work to improve mobility, efficiency, and body awareness. Neural flossing and tensioning focus on nerve mobility, which ensures better coordination and reduced restrictions. Myofascial programming releases fascial restrictions and enhances range of motion, while neurobiomechanics incorporates breathwork and neuromuscular activation to refine movement and decrease stress. This approach supports recovery, enhances performance, and promotes better control over movement. Functional Vinyasa Yoga is for those seeking a smarter, more efficient way to connect breath, body, and movement.

Tamara Miler integrates psychology, neuroscience, and embodied practices like yoga, Qi Gong, and meditation, focusing on the connection between the body, emotions, and mind.

Through her work, she provides practical tools to enhance balance, energy, and mental clarity, helping individuals connect with their authentic way of being.

Contact improvisation invites us to perceive ourselves more expansively—not just as a body, but as a field of possibilities. It transcends individualistic thinking and leads us into a shared space, where we truly perceive each other and co-create a dance where both of us lead. It expands our attention from the separate "I" to the shared body, the shared becoming. Every encounter becomes a co-creation that supports and empowers, transforming the private self into a shared, coexisting being.

During the Guardians Festival, we will explore the flow of the five elements—Water, Wood, Fire, Metal, and Earth—through five Qi Gong practices, each dedicated to one element. Following the natural cycle of transformation, Water nourishes Wood, Wood fuels Fire, Fire shapes Metal, Metal transforms Water, and Earth harmonizes them all. Each practice will embody an animal form connected to its element, allowing you to experience diverse movements and sensations. This approach blends Taoist wisdom with modern science, targeting meridians, organs, and the fascial system. As we move, we release emotional layers stored within each element, promoting energetic balance. White Tiger Qi Gong bridges body, breath, and spirit, supporting transformation throughout the festival.

Communication extends beyond words - our bodies are constantly expressing, sensing, and adapting. This workshop explores how the body communicates: internal (sensations, emotions, thoughts), external (physical, social, and environmental interactions), and their impact on consciousness. Through movement and awareness, we uncover how non-verbal signals shape perception, relationships, and self-understanding. By reconnecting with our body’s natural intelligence, we cultivate psychological flexibility, presence, and authentic expression.

Movement is a powerful tool for self-exploration and well-being, shaping not only the body but also the mind. With a background in dance, sports, acrobatics, and mindfulness, Anže explored how different movement disciplines influence psychological flexibility and the way we navigate life. He is currently pursuing a doctoral degree in Kinesiology, his focus is on how movement impacts adaptability and self-awareness. By creating spaces for exploration and growth, movement becomes a way to cultivate authenticity, resilience, and deeper self-acceptance in an ever-changing world.

Movement is a part of us. It is an expression of the body, freedom, playfulness, and exploration. Through movement, we discover our roots and awaken a sense of connection with nature and ourselves. It’s about more than just gaining strength or flexibility - it’s about how we feel when we free our bodies from expectations and surrender to the flow.

Primal movement includes natural motions we’ve performed unconsciously since childhood: crawling, quadrupedal movement, deep squats, and other ground-based forms of movement.

The focus is on sensing the body and allowing movement to flow naturally, restoring strength, softness, and a deep connection with oneself.

Tine is a passionate explorer of movement, sensation, and breath.

He has always sought ways to approach life differently, to see it through his own eyes - free from limitations and societal habits. Where others asked, "Why?" Tine’s inner voice always said, "Why not?"

As a teacher of natural movement, he inspires people to rediscover the free mover within - one with limitless potential, waiting to be awakened and expressed in a way that is unique to each body.

Awaken your body with natural and energizing movement. This session combines calisthenics, mobility, and animal flow to enhance strength, flexibility, and coordination.

Step into a world where vision fades, and sensation becomes your guide. In this immersive journey, the absence of sight opens the door to heightened awareness and deeper self-discovery. Guided by sound and touch, you’ll explore your inner landscape while navigating through space. Surrender to the unknown, awaken dormant senses, and connect more fully with yourself and your environment. This is a transformative practice that reveals profound insights and invites a richer connection to the present moment.

At the beginning of the ecstatic dance practice, Manca will guide an embodiment practice, focusing on feeling and connecting with our primal body. The embodiment practice transforms into Ecstatic Dance, an inner journey, an authentic moving practice where we can experience presence and ecstasy. It creates a direct connection between body, mind, and spirit, allowing us to merge with ourselves. During the dance, we are fully present in our body and space. Through movement, we discover our unique expression and free ourselves from the causes of movement and thinking that no longer serve us.

Manca explores the depths of her inner world through movement. Her journey is filled with a love for dance, contact improvisation, embodiment, and yoga, where she expresses the connection between body and spirit through movement. In recent years, she has deepened her spiritual practice, sensing energies that transcend the physical and reach into subtle realms. With her presence and knowledge, she frees people from old patterns of thinking, movement, and perception of their own bodies and the world around them. Her mission is to awaken true freedom and joy of being in others.

Through guided dance, we will open all seven directions (East, North, West, South, Mother Earth, Great Spirit, Heart) in a ceremonial space, following the tradition that originates from the Moon Dance.

The dance will guide us in opening fragments of ourselves on all levels – physical, emotional, energetic, and spiritual.

We will connect with Life as something greater than ourselves, while also anchoring deeply into the awareness that everything is already within us.

Awakening the sacredness of Life through dance, movement, music, and connection with nature.

Kahani Cosmica is a sacred space where women return to themselves, to their full expression through dance, rituals, and sisterhood. We honor the beauty of life, the interweaving of endings and beginnings, where death and creation coexist.

In this space, feminine and masculine energies find balance, dancing together in continuous harmony.

We tell the stories of Life and the Universe, flowing through us like waterfalls. Each month, we return them to Mother Earth, infused with our blood as a sacred offering. Through them, we heal one another - simply because we allow ourselves to share.

This space is held by dancers, creators, and choreographers Eva Skledar and Manca Langus.

You are invited to a unique workshop where you will explore a deeper connection with your body through self-massage, conscious touch, and free movement. Martina will guide you into the world of Conscious Touch® and relaxation, while Barbara will lead you through dance and movement for free expression.

The combination of these two practices will allow for tension release, the opening of flow, an energy boost, and a deeper connection with yourself. Connect body, mind, and spirit, and let movement lead you to a state of inner harmony.

Ecstatic dance is a freeform, expressive movement practice where you let go of judgments and dance without words. We warm up through the earth elements, tuning into our heartbeats and making every cell of our body smile. As you continue to explore your body’s natural rhythm, you’ll release tension and deepen your connection with yourself and others. This safe, non-verbal space fosters personal freedom, creativity, and joy. Join us for a liberating journey of self-expression, as you move, flow, and celebrate through dance! No experience required—just bring your authentic self.

Vlatka Bašić has been dancing since birth, passionately surrendering to her body’s natural flow. With a background in contemporary dance, she now shares her wisdom as a dance and yoga teacher. Through improvisation, Vlatka explores the concept of movement channeled through the body, rather than controlled by the mind. Her practice is a healing journey, where the connection to music becomes so deep that the beats almost seem visual. This organic movement fosters a space of self-expression, connection, and transformation.

Through free work and observation, as well as gathering elements for painting directly from nature, we will explore inner feelings and find inspiration in the colors, textures, and shapes of the natural world. The workshop offers a space for personal growth, relaxation, and deepening the connection with the environment, turning art into a meditative experience that opens the doors to intuition.

Let’s forget all the learned expectations about painting. Creativity is not something that is only accessible to a few talented individuals. Creative energy is the fundamental building block of the universe and is responsible for everything we see around us and feel within ourselves. In this Creative Alchemy workshop, we will connect with our inner silence through a short meditation and breathing techniques, entering the present moment.

Accompanied by live music, we will allow our intuition to guide us through sensations and intention into colors and lines. We will surrender to the creation process and observe how a unique reflection of our boundless inner landscape unfolds on the canvas before us. To conclude, we will explore the interpretations of these inner reflections together. You are warmly invited to this alchemical journey!

Klemen Orešnik is from Škofja Loka, a curious soul and researcher of creative potential, which he believes exists within each of us. After powerful mystical experiences 10 years ago, he fell in love with the incredible diversity of nature and our deep connection to all of creation. These revelations led him on a path of personal growth, mysticism, and creative expression, through which he reconnected with himself and found the inspiration to translate the intangible spheres of existence into tangible products. Through various media, he creates under the brand SuryaRay Lab of Creative Alchemy, where he aims to infuse the magic of life into our hearts.

In this workshop, we will awaken our creative energy and create with ethically sourced natural feathers. You will have the opportunity to craft magical feather creations that will support and empower you on your journey.

We will create:

• Feather jewelry (earrings, hair clips, necklaces, bracelets)
• Feather talismans
• Whatever we feel inspired to make ...

We will surrender to intuition and together bring magical feather creations to life.

Teja discovered her love for creating with feathers in her teenage years, and since then, this love has been growing and evolving. In addition to creating, her goal is to share her love and knowledge with others. That’s why she will share the magic of creating with feathers with us, and together we will awaken our creative energy. In a creative circle, she offers a space where you can express yourself creatively and discover your creative energy and the magic of feathers. You are invited to experience the magic of creating with feathers!

The workshop will be divided into two parts. The first part will be a theoretical introduction and an opportunity to get to know each other, followed by a visual presentation of the renovation of Hiša Virstan and the sharing of best practices. Then, we will dive into an experiential exploration of natural materials, where we will get to know the materials used in natural construction with our eyes closed.

At the end, we will gather in a circle to share our experiences of exploring materials through touch and conclude the workshop.

After the workshop, we will open a space for a two-hour free consultation session for quick architectural/construction advice.

Parenting From Within: Building Resilience in Yourself and Your Child

Parenting isn’t just about raising strong children—it’s about raising yourself first. Our kids don’t learn from what we say; they learn from how we live. When you develop self-awareness, emotional honesty, and make choices aligned with your values, you create a foundation for your child’s resilience. If you are emotionally grounded and handle life’s challenges with calm and clarity, your child will instinctively follow that example. True resilience starts with you—because raising strong children begins with raising yourself.

Sara Isaković, the most successful Slovenian swimmer, won a silver Olympic medal at the 2008 Beijing Olympics, marking the peak of her career. She has found her calling in exploring the brain (U.S. Navy SEALs, Marines, Olympians) and working in the field of performance psychology. With a degree in neuropsychology from Berkeley and a master's from San Diego, she helps athletes, pilots, musicians, and business professionals achieve top performance and develop mental resilience for optimal execution in high-pressure moments.

The workshop presents what blood rites are, their significance for women and their life growth, how they connect us with nature and the menstrual cycle, what supports us during these transitions, and how we can heal past transitions through new ones. We will explore each season, focusing on summer (motherhood) and autumn (menopause) as opportunities to unlock creativity and leadership potential. We will talk about the birth and the becoming of a Mother and how the arrival of a child and childbirth affect the mother’s body, psyche and identity. We will explore the often overlooked energetic and spiritual aspects of childbirth, which, through the unconscious, influence the physical part of birth, the transition into motherhood and its integration into a woman’s identity (matrescence). We will also talk about how our own births, time in the womb, and the first months after birth shape our creativity blueprint. The workshop includes reflective questions and a short meditation.

Irena Jamšek Halas is a healer of women's roots and a nurturer of holistic women's health through all seasons of life.

She is a manual body therapist specializing in women's health, a facilitator and coach, a prenatal and postpartum preparation guide, a birth and postpartum doula, and a leader of women's circles and experiential workshops.

At a time when modern society is facing an increasing mental health crisis, a loss of meaning, and alienation, more and more people are turning to ancient sacred medicines. In this panel discussion, we will explore their potential in healing individuals and communities, fostering spiritual growth, and restoring balance between humans and nature. Together with experts and practitioners, we will discuss experiences, scientific research, and the ethical and cultural aspects of using these powerful tools in the modern world.

Birth of a Mother - untold dimensions of pregnancy, birth and beyond in relation to our identity shaping and creativity blueprint

During the workshop, we will talk about how when the baby is born, so is the mother, and  what the arrival of a child and childbirth mean for a mother’s body, psyche and identity. We will explore the often overlooked energetic and spiritual aspects of childbirth, which, through the unconscious, influence the physical part of birth, the transition into motherhood and its integration into a woman’s identity (matrescence).

Since women give birth to more than just children we will also talk about how our own births, time in the womb, and the first months after birth shape our creativity blueprint. The workshop includes reflective questions and a short meditation.

If we want to be the Guardians, as the festival is called, paying attention to the way we raise and educate children is crucial. Children create the future, and their minds and emotions also shape the way and content of learning. If we desire a better future, the upbringing and education of our descendants must reflect this. Therefore, we have prepared a workshop on homeschooling, which allows children to fully develop their potential. The workshop will be led by Mateja De Laat, a pioneer of homeschooling in Slovenia, and Katja Tomšič, the founder of the alternative family association Naš plac. First, we will discuss the legislation that defines homeschooling, followed by a conversation about its advantages and challenges, which will also include the principles of nature-based learning. In the second part, we will present a good practice example of creating a community where homeschooling parents provide their children with a more free and beautiful learning journey.

I am a mother, author, researcher, historian, and lover of all living things. For the past 15 years, I have been homeschooling my children. Throughout this journey, I developed the concept of Natural Learning, which takes a holistic approach to education and teaching.

I was one of the main initiators behind the creation of a website dedicated to homeschooling and the connection of parents and children. I am the author of two books, numerous popular science articles, and two scientific papers. I have participated in two GHEX conferences and have appeared in various media outlets to introduce homeschooling to the Slovenian public.

Katja Tomšič is an academic designer who allowed motherhood to guide her toward creating natural solutions for families with preschool and school-age children. In this spirit, she and her husband founded the alternative family association Naš plac in 2020, located in Volčji Potok. Katja is also active in the field of visual arts, developing methods that enable individuals to express themselves creatively and freely. She is a devoted advocate of natural living and a passionate lover of the Slovenian mountains.

Experiential workshop on herb gathering and preparing natural herbal medicine.

I will introduce plants that can be gathered from meadows or forest edges, and from them, we can prepare additions to our diet or store them for the winter months to support our immune system (in the form of pesto, tea, tincture, macerate, etc.). Herbs are an unlimited source of creativity, so I will share many ideas for their use and recipes with you. Returning to nature slows down our life pace, and through this workshop, you will see your green surroundings in a completely different light. A walk in nature can become a trip to the market of nature, where a flower grows for every ailment.

Dunja Perko revives the sacred medicine that has traditionally been present in the Slovenian region. Herbs were placed in her cradle, as her great-grandmother taught her about herbal gathering from an early age. She returned to the use of herbs when facing her own challenges. She personally explored the therapeutic benefits of deadly nightshade and fly agaric. She further deepened her knowledge by studying the use of psychedelics for therapeutic purposes. In her work, she integrates transactional analysis, traditional Chinese medicine, Tesla metamorphosis, and various shamanic healing techniques. Recently, she has dedicated herself to janzu (holistic water therapy).

Fermentation as Ritual: A Sensual Journey with Sourdough & Sacred Eating 

In this deliciously grounding workshop, we’ll return to the ancient art of fermentation through the lens of sacred presence and modern simplicity. Anita Šumer—international sourdough educator and embodied ritualist—will guide you into the heart of sourdough as both nourishment and practice. Learn how to start and care for your own natural starter, understand the basics of wild fermentation, and explore how this living culture connects us to our ancestors, the Earth, and our own inner rhythms.

You’ll also be guided through a slow, mindful bread-tasting ritual—awakening all your senses and tuning into the body’s deep intelligence through conscious eating. This is a space where ritual meets recipe, where simplicity becomes sacred, and where devotion rises with the dough.

No prior baking or meditation experience needed—just your curiosity and presence.

Anita Šumer is an international sourdough educator, bestselling author, and the loving force behind @sourdough_mania and @anita.sumer. Known as the Fermentrix of Life, she has over a decade of experience guiding thousands around the world in baking with wild starters—and wild love.

After personal tragedy and years of disconnection from her body, Anita’s healing journey led her into tantric embodiment, sacred ritual, and reclaiming nourishment as a spiritual act. She now weaves ancient wisdom with everyday magic—bringing sacredness into the simple, sensual, and slow.

A certified Tantra Energy Massage therapist and current participant in the Embodied Tantra Facilitator Training, Anita’s work is rooted in presence, softness, and devotion.

Follow her at @anita.sumer—where sourdough meets sensuality, and where ritual is always rising.

At the Guardians Festival, we will showcase our products and share the knowledge we've gained in the field of low-tech mushroom cultivation — a simple and accessible way to grow your own mushrooms. Participants will learn about mushroom cultivation on straw and logs, explore the differences between these two methods, and discover their respective advantages and challenges. We will also talk about medicinal mushrooms and their effects on the human body.

Miha Grulja is the founder of Fungalist, a company dedicated to raising awareness about the many culinary and medicinal uses of mushrooms. He promotes self-sufficiency through mushroom cultivation and offers education on how to grow them. Together with his partner, he crafts premium-quality tinctures and extracts from medicinal mushrooms such as lion’s mane, reishi, chaga, and more. Fungalist is based in the Dolenjska region of Slovenia, where they have been cultivating and processing mushrooms since 2016.

The lecture “Have a Good Trip!” will explore how the therapeutic use of psychedelics differs from recreational use, touching on all the key factors that shape a psychedelic experience — particularly the concept of “set and setting.”

We’ll also look at how to support someone going through a challenging psychedelic experience and when it’s necessary to seek additional help. Finally, we’ll dive into why the process of integration after the experience is just as important as the experience itself — or in other words, “what now?”

This workshop does not involve the use of any psychoactive substances.

Marko Vide is a transpersonal and psychodynamic psychotherapist who has been passionately exploring expanded states of consciousness for over two decades, offering professional support to those who experience them. He is the co-founder of the Rabbit Hole Institute and the Katabasis Institute — two organizations dedicated to researching and educating about the healing potential of altered states of consciousness.

The workshop is an introduction to the ancient wisdom of various cultures that have used powerful healing plants and rituals to heal the body, mind, and spirit. We will explore the significance of Sacred Medicines such as psilocybin mushrooms, ayahuasca, cacti, tobacco, and others — and their potential for personal growth and inner cleansing. We will also touch on the importance of safety, proper approach when working with Sacred Medicines, and how to choose the right facilitators for shamanic ceremonies.

Dani received his first shamanic initiation over fifteen years ago in Bali. This event marked the beginning of his deeper understanding of various spiritual traditions. Throughout his many journeys around the world, he immersed himself in different cultures and their healing practices. Among his most transformative experiences in the spiritual realm was an in-depth apprenticeship with the Quechua and Shipibo tribes in Peru, the Mazatec in Mexico, and the Kogi in Colombia. Guided by their elders and shamans, he embarked on the path of sacred medicines and healing music—a path he continues to walk to this day.

Avtentičnost nas kliče nazaj h koreninam in naše slovanske korenine so zelo močne. So pa drugačne od tega, kar se v tem času in prostoru podaja kot resnično. Marsikatera "strupena" rastlina je prav zaradi te oznake postala "prepovedana" in posledično zavita v tančico skrivnosti, stigmatizacije in tabujev in izgubilo se je marsikatero vedenje. Volčja češnja in rdeča mušnica sta le dva taka primera svete medicine. V okviru predavanja bom predstavila njuno uporabo v terapevtske namene in za potrebe osebne transformacije. Volčja češnja pomaga pri prizemljevanju. Mušnica pa odpira nova znanja.

Dunja Perko oživlja sveto medicino, ki je bila tradicionalno prisotna v slovenskem prostoru. Zelišča so ji bila položena v zibelko, saj jo je že prababica poučevala o nabiranju zelišč. K uporabi zelišč se je vrnila, ko je imela svoje izzive. Sama je preizkusila terapevtske koristi volčje češnje in rdeče mušnice. Izkušnje je nadgradila s študijem uporabe psihadelikov v terapevtske namene. Pri svojem delu integrira transakcijsko analizo, tradicionalno kitajsko medicino, tesla metamorfozo in različne tehnike šamanskega zdravljenja. V zadnjem času se je posvetila janzuju (celostnim terapijam v vodi).

The path to self-sufficiency and regeneration is a return to oneself and a journey back to nature. It is a conscious choice to co-create a healthy planet through food cultivation, soil care, and ecological balance. By growing local food and nurturing the soil, we reduce our dependence on the system and build the resilience of our communities. It is a process of learning, hands-on work, and heartfelt presence that restores life to the land, the community, and ourselves. You are warmly invited to explore the paths of empowerment together through holistic regenerative approaches.

Kristina and Miha are the heart of Monera, a regenerative farm. On their farm, they mimic nature’s patterns and apply them through various regenerative growing practices to produce local, high-quality food that grows in living soil. In addition to growing food, they also share their knowledge through workshops, believing that the future lies in small farms rooted in healthy soil and in harmony with natural rhythms.

The lecture will focus on the attention disorder known as ADHD/ADD. The aim of the lecture is to approach the diagnosis from a different perspective, where the focus is not on the problems and negative traits, but rather on finding possible solutions and discovering strengths through understanding. The topic will be presented through personal experience of living with ADHD, as well as work in elementary schools in this area. We will touch on the medical perspective and pharmacological approaches, with an emphasis on non-pharmacological, natural approaches.

The speaker will be Matic Novak, MSc in Health Promotion, who works with children diagnosed with ADHD/ADD in elementary schools and through the association Blue Heroes. He is also active in the Institute for the Development of ADHD Potential, which focuses on research and educational work in this field.

This is a hands-on, exploratory workshop focused on natural dyeing and a journey into the invisible. Each child will create their own unique, ritual cloth. They can later use it on a personal altar, place it somewhere special, or even sew it into something meaningful.

We’ll be using the Japanese technique tataki zome, also known as eco-printing. With small hammers, we will imprint fresh flowers directly onto fabric.

Due to the use of hammers, the workshop is suitable for children aged 6 and up.

Romana Brina is the creator and founder of Brinas Studio, a natural dyeing atelier where she explores the intersection of color, nature, and sensory experience. After several years in the corporate world, she followed her deeper calling and became a self-taught natural dyer.

Her work is rooted in the exploration of new ways to apply natural dyes, textures, and pigments, revealing the unpredictability and beauty of natural materials.

Her workshops are a sensory, experimental journey into the world of natural pigments and the invisible realms that emerge through the process.

Every month, she also hosts the Colors & the Invisible Children's Academy at her studio.

"Colors and the invisible" is a research-experiential workshop on natural dyeing and a journey into the unseen. Each participant will dye their own unique, ritualistic cloth. If desired, it can later be used on an altar, in another special place, or even sewn into something else. We will dye using the Japanese technique "tataki zome," also known as eco-printing. Using hammers, we will imprint flowers onto the fabric. Alongside the dyeing, we will observe inner processes and address any creative blockages that may arise.

We’re offering a workshop for 20 participants to create and take home a candle made by them, for them. But hey — this isn’t just a candle. It’s a ritual of oils, waxes, textures, and intention that awakens the senses. Scents (if desired), textures (you can use it on your body), and of course, the beauty of fire — the great father of all.

Rosa and Alexandra are the founders of CocoBee, a Slovenian-Venezuelan brand that creates natural candles and body care rituals inspired by both their cultures. Raised in Venezuela by their Slovenian grandmother, they blend the softness, warmth, and rhythm of Latin America with the calm, minimalism, and intentionality of Slovenia.

When we hold clay in our hands and gently invite form from it through our loving touch, we are directly connecting with the primal matter of creation. What is it that you wish to call into being?

You are warmly invited to a ceremonial encounter with clay, where—drawing inspiration from ancient goddess figurines and guardians—we will create our own talisman. Through this process, we will connect with the magical landscape of the Kolpa River and also with our inner landscape.

After the festival, you will have the opportunity to offer your figurine to the river—if you feel called to do so.

Join me for a magical macramé workshop where we will create colorful, unique macramé pendants and amulets with crystals!

Children will make their special pendant through simple macramé knots, weaving in a chosen crystal – their supportive friend. Crystals carry unique energies that can inspire, calm, or empower them.

During the creative process, we will develop fine motor skills, encourage creativity, connect with materials and crystals, and discover a meditative state through knotting. Each child will take home their unique amulet, which they can wear as a talisman of good luck, and we will also energetically cleanse the crystals.

See you on the macramé adventure!

She finds inspiration in mythical figures and stories, ancient traditions, and life philosophies. Dancing with forest fairies, hugging trees, running with wolves, and wandering through remote hills are all part of her everyday life.

Lea weaves the mysticism of Nature into her macramé creations, each knot carrying deep symbolism and heartfelt presence. All of her pieces are handmade and unique, and she often creates custom designs with the intention that each piece tells its own story and holds its own power.

With gentle, child-friendly paints and skillful brushstrokes, we bring smiles to little faces and open the door to a world of imagination. Face painting is a beloved attraction at our festival, where children's faces are transformed into little works of art. Each design is unique and created with love, to brighten their day and awaken the magic within.

The workshop consists of two parts.

The first part is theoretical, where we will learn about resins and herbs, their purpose, where and how to use them.

In the second part, we will move into the practical section, where we will try different incenses (resins and herbs) and learn their usage methods (space, body, and soul cleansing).
At the end, we will gather around for a cup of tea.

Each participant will also receive a gift that they can use immediately after the workshop. Please bring a notebook and pen, as well as a water bottle.

Through water cleansing actions that he leads around the world, he raises awareness and connects the unconscious hidden parts of us with the reality we see before us. He leads fire circles aimed at quality socializing, connection, reverence, conversation, singing, and dancing. He writes inspiring/zen stories for both young and old. He organizes nature expeditions (Pristine Journeys), teaching people how to collaborate with, learn from, and respect nature. He became enchanted by incense from a young age, when fire took him under its wing and began teaching him. Currently, he dedicates more and more time to working with divine presence and exploring spiritual journeys that have a global impact.

Nevrotransformative breathing is a technique that has powerful effects on the physical, emotional, mental, and energetic levels. With deep relaxation of physical tension, you will also be able to release emotional blockages during the breathing work. Therefore, it’s not unusual if you find yourself crying, laughing, or feeling vitality, joy, relaxation, calmness, and contentment during the guided session. No prior knowledge is required.

For this breathing session, I’ve chosen the theme "Shine of Light," where love will be activated within us, and we will enter the portal of pure light. At the beginning of the session, we will connect and share how we feel, creating a safe and supportive environment for our further processes. The music will be live. Žiga Miklavc will accompany us with instruments (drums, flutes, bells, rattles, didgeridoo...) and will support us during the integration phase, allowing you to fully disconnect and reset deeply.

Breathing is a wonderful practice that takes you deep within yourself and helps you find inner healing and the healer within. Through various techniques of energy movement and bodily sensations, we achieve a deep connection with the body. All of this is supported by instruments such as the shamanic drum, crystal bowls, and other ceremonial instruments. Breath opens you through sound, which accelerates cellular healing through vibrations. You must feel the breath and completely surrender to it, as it benefits not only your body but also your energetic body. Through breathing, we purify the body by delivering oxygen to every cell, while also clearing energy blockages from our field. In this way, we ensure that we are filled with pure and beautiful prana, which is all around us, and we use it through the breath. Our ancestors gathered in circles, breathed together, and connected through breath, which led to harmony between their hearts. We breathe together, as one big heart.

The purpose of our brand is to create beautiful and versatile pieces of clothing made from entirely upcycled materials - we are sourcing vintage silk sarees (traditional indian garments) and giving them a new life by converting them into flowy and comfy, unisex and freesize kimonos, dresses, jumpsuits, pants and other pieces of clothing - Therefore each piece is made from unique piece of material.  The fabrics were already worn by Indian women before they made it into our collection and because of the upcycled nature of the fabric, there can be minor imperfections which give the garments unique character and soul. Revently we also started working with organic, raw cotton - we created a beautiful collection in earthy tones, suitable for dancing, yoga and other movement practices.

In my stained glass artisan studio nestled in the woods on the outskirts of Ljubljana, I create unique stained glass pieces using the Tiffany technique. Ever since I first encountered the restoration of old furniture and damaged antique stained glass, I’ve been driven by the desire to perfect my craftsmanship. I’m fascinated by the play of light captured in glass and the enchantment of glass itself—especially colored glass, which I bring to life through stained glass imagery.

In my studio, I also craft delicate stained glass jewelry using silver, copper, and leather, as well as a variety of decorative one-of-a-kind creations. My view of the world and my connection to shamanism are woven into the magic of my creations.

Now, a new project is being born: Bringers of Light—lamps made from clay and wood, co-created with Milan, who works with wood.

Mushrooms didn’t evolve active compounds for you - human. They are the oldest organisms on Earth. Overcoming extreme environments throughout evolution gradually boosted their resilience and, metaphorically, their confidence. There’s a reason they are among the few lifeforms that have survived the harshest conditions. Aliens? Maybe. We earthlings interpret it in ways that are useful to us.

They developed active compounds—molecules that protect them from microbes, insects, and predators. Some of these compounds also protect humans, helping us on our path to balance and a deeper connection with ourselves.

We offer this superpower in a drop. High quality functional mushroom extracts, made in Slovenia. With love.
