Eleven years of solstice gathering on the Daugava banks — four days opened and closed by fire ceremonies honouring sun, ancestors and living earth, with a hundred workshops, shamanic journeys and devotional music.

The sacred in the midsummer light. Complete rejection of alcohol and intoxicants keeps the field clear while drums, throat singing and sound bowls carry nights that never quite darken.
