HeartSong Gathering 2026 (Singing Festival)
Description
OPEN THE CHANNEL OF YOUR VOICE
Welcome the new year with prayer, devotion, and plenty of joy at our largest signature gathering of the year. Over five vibrant days, you’ll be immersed in singing, dancing, drumming, yoga, cacao, nature, and community.
Come ready to open your voice, express yourself fully, and shine with authenticity. This is an invitation to step into your power as a medicine musician and heart warrior, expand your heart, and learn how to hold sacred space through music.
Calling All Medicine Music Lovers!
With limited space for an intimate atmosphere, this substance-free gathering centers the voice as medicine. Singing medicine songs is a joyful way to open the heart, create a special community feeling, and unite as one tribe. It is a beloved part of the Mystical Yoga Farm experience, and we are excited to share it with you.
Who's this mini-festival for:
This gathering is ideal for anyone who loves to sing, or for those curious about devotional music as a healing practice. It’s a beautiful fit for kirtan lovers, plant medicine enthusiasts, cacao lovers, yogis, festival-goers, and mystics alike. Whether you are an experienced medicine musician, an aspiring one, or completely new, you are likely to find both inspiration and healing here.
Expect a nourishing, sober, and holistic festival experience that encourages connection, friendship, and personal growth. With a cap of 120 participants including staff, there is plenty of space to meet people and build meaningful, lasting bonds.
This experience is also well suited for entrepreneurs or city dwellers seeking a digital detox and a deeper connection with nature in a spiritual yet lighthearted setting.
What will I gain from this experience:
You can look forward to learning new songs, rhythms, strumming patterns, melodies, chanting techniques, vocal activations, yoga flows, songwriting practices, and much more. Overall, this is a grounded and inspiring festival experience designed to relax the nervous system while keeping things fun and spiritually uplifting.
You’ll leave with a deeper appreciation for music and nature, new friendships, and valuable insights into yourself. The setting at Lake Atitlan also places you near a thriving conscious community known for events, festivals, ecstatic dances, cacao ceremonies, and spiritual gatherings, so you may want to extend your stay before or after the event.
What Makes This Different Than A Regular Music Festival?
In short: no electronic music, more intimate circles, and a substance-free environment. Accommodations and meals are included, helping you rest well and stay nourished throughout the experience. The atmosphere is smaller, gentler, and more retreat-like.
Expert facilitators will guide you through inspiring workshops, and each evening will include shared song circles around the fire. There is also space for all experience levels to contribute. Because everyone sings and shares, the event becomes a true co-creation where each person is both artist and audience.
This one-of-a-kind experience is often compared to Bhakti Fest, Singing Alive, and Rainbow Gatherings, yet it has its own distinct magic. It is a blend of music festival, healing retreat, and adult summer camp — a five-day journey shaped by everyone who joins.
