HeartSong Gathering

January 5th – 9th, 2024

All Acoustic Devotional Music Festival

Join Us for Our Favorite Event of The Year!

This is a mini-festival focused on devotional singing, or bhakti yoga. Inspired by Singing Alive and Rainbow Gatherings, this event is all about opening our voices to praise the divine. Opening the heart to the divine light within and sending it out.

There will be special workshops/activities to open our hearts and expand the voice. Yoga w/ live medicine music every day! And every night will be open-share singing around our Sacred Fire, where everyone gets a chance to share their voice!

This gathering is perfect for heart-centered musicians, kirtankaras, medicine people, and aspiring musicians looking to share their songs, learn new ones, and expand their musical offerings!

Stories of Love & Transformation From HeartSong Attendees

“It’s literarily like coming home to your inner child and having summer camp with all your friends. We were such a unified force in love and sharing and support. And being able to share my own music and have people love it so much was really really empowering.”

Roxy

“This gathering empowers every single person to step into their voice, step into their hearts, and share it fearlessly and courageously. And this community will hold that space for you.”

Riley

“It was wholesome and so true. It just felt like truth. Being in this energy has opened me up to feel safe and be my full authentic self. I feel like I’m leaving with so much impact and so much love to spread to the rest of the world.”

We’ve got some extra special guest musicians including Eric Mandala, NJB, Faye Ma, Colleen, plus all the regulars you know and love!

Join us for Lake Atitlán’s ONLY party with no electronic music, because our intention is to reconnect people with a more ancient and intentional way of celebrating. Singing around the Sacred Fire like our anscestors did!

This event is co-created by all who join. The song circle is inspired by Singing Alive, where we encourage everyone to share their beautiful voice, and to be seen by the community. Everyone is an artist AND the audience. Welcome to our amazing lineup.
