Family-friendly festival that unites people who share a vision of a more loving world!

Guardians Festival is a five-day journey held in pristine nature, right by the Kolpa river. It’s an alcohol-free space where families and friends gather to celebrate life through music, dance, and rituals. Together, we co-create a vision of a more loving world and carry it back into our everyday lives.

The festival will be entirely held in English, featuring performances by incredible local and international artists, speakers, and visionaries.

Guardians Festival welcomes dreamers, visionaries, artists, healers, free spirits, spiritual seekers, families – all who feel the vision of a more loving world.

Guardians Festival is a family-friendly festival that unites people who share a vision of a more loving world!

• A healing space where our inner guardians awaken and our hearts open wide, guiding us to protect what is sacred.
  
• Guardians Festival is a community-centered event. Only as one can we remember who we are and rise together in unity.
  
• This festival it’s not just an event - it’s a living vision of a world we believe in! Are you ready to be part of it?
  

Naša vizija je, da na festivalu poustvarimo svet, o katerem vsi sanjamo - da vsak udeleženec esenco te globoke in navdihujoče izkušnje ponese v svoje življenje, s tem pa soustvarja lepši svet, kjerkoli že je.

The name Guardians carries the essence of what the festival stands for. It reminds us to awaken and remember the inner Guardian within each of us, the one who protects life, the Earth, the sacred, the family, the circle of community, and the ancient ways of ceremony.

At the festival, we gather as guardians from all winds; keepers of wisdom, love, and presence, who remember that true guardianship begins within, through awareness, compassion, and conscious action.

Our logo, depicting Thoth, the ancient Egyptian god of wisdom and truth, symbolizes this timeless role of the guardian — the keeper of divine order, the bridge between heaven and earth, and the protector of the sacred.

Absolutely! Guardians Festival warmly welcomes families. At Guardians, we believe that children deserve a festival experience as rich and exciting as the grown-ups! Our diverse kids’ program caters to all ages, giving little ones the space to play freely, explore, create, and connect.

Here, kids don’t just watch — they experience, experiment, and grow as they dive into a world of creativity, wonder, and endless discovery.

The children's program is divided into two groups — children aged 0 to 7 and children aged 8 to 14.

Guardians Fairyland for kids aged 0 to 7

Led by three heartful and playful pedagogs, Fairyland is a space where children can play freely, explore, and have fun. Through interactive corners, hands-on activities, creative games, and imaginative adventures, kids get to build, experiment, and discover new things while developing social skills, coordination, creativity, and confidence. The pedagogs support each child to try new experiences, make friends, and enjoy the wonder of learning through play, all in a safe and cheerful environment.

Guardians Camp for kids aged 8 to 14

Guardians Camp is an adventurous and engaging space guided by Matic Novak, an expert in working with children with ADHD, together with his two dedicated assistants. Here, children are encouraged to be curious, brave, and collaborative, with nature as the heart of their exploration and learning. Through fun challenges, creative activities, and a storytelling adventure that takes them deep into the world of natural elements, kids build confidence, teamwork, resilience, and mutual support. They learn to overcome fears, encourage one another, and discover their strengths, all while having unforgettable fun in a safe and inspiring environment.

During Guardians Festival 2025, we created seven unique stages and spaces, each carrying its own energy and purpose. Together forming a multidimensional journey through music, workshops, and ceremonies.

• Guardians – The festival’s main stage, home to larger activities, ecstatic dances, and musical performances that bring the community together.
  
• Anubis – A ceremonial stage by the fire, hosting vocal workshops, sound baths, and ceremonial concerts under the open sky.
  
• Sirius – Set by the Kolpa River and lit by a disco ball, this space features daytime electronic music, ecstatic dances, martial arts practices, and yoga sessions.
  
• Amenti – Dedicated to movement and experiential workshops, where the body becomes a gateway to presence and flow.
• Thoth – The educational temple of the festival, offering talks, lectures, panel discussions, and learning experiences that expand awareness.
• Hathor – The creative space, where participants can express themselves through art, and co-creation workshops.
• Gaia – A tipi tent with a sacred fire, hosting ceremonies, intimate rituals, and deep experiential workshops.
  

Not all stages may remain the same. In 2026, we are preparing an even deeper and more mystical experience, where each space will further evolve in its symbolism, purpose, and energy, inviting participants into an ever-expanding journey of transformation and unity.

Našo prelepo festivalsko prizorišče se nahaja v Braslovčah, Slovenija - zelenem srcu Evrope.

Čeprav smo vsi veliki ljubitelji živali, smo se letos odločili, da psom in drugim živalim prepovemo vstop na območje kampa in festivalskega prizorišča. Ta odločitev je bila sprejeta predvsem zaradi varnosti naših najmlajših. 

Za vse lastnike štirinožnih prijateljev pa smo se povezali s pasjim hotelom Smrček, ki poskrbi za varno in ljubečo oskrbo vašega psa medtem, ko vi uživate na festivalu.

Pasji hotel Smrček se nahaja dobro uro vožnje od festivalskega prizorišča (na poti , če prihajate iz Ljubljane) in ponuja celotno oskrbo psa za samo 25 € na dan.

The festival takes place in all weather conditions. And honestly, based on our past festivals and events, we seem to have pretty good connections with the weather spirits ;)

In case of rain, there’s no need to worry. We have several large tents and covered areas across the festival grounds where you can comfortably move your body, attend workshops, or simply relax until the sun returns.

So come prepared, but trust that the spirits are usually on our side.
