Music Temple - a New Year's Gathering

Room to breathe between the moments that matter.

For the last three years, this has been our community's home for turning the calendar together - festivals and celebrations held in the same spirit Awake was built on: authentic connection, presence, and conscious community.

This year, we're doing it again - but it looks different. Not a festival. Not a buffet of everything at once. An intimate gathering - spacious, ceremonial, held by facilitators, performers, and artists from this land and our own community. Time to sit by the fire, share meals, jam, dip in the river, or do nothing at all.

We're still in the early stages of dreaming this one up - and we'd love your voice in it. More coming soon. For now, we're building this together.

What to Expect

The full shape of it is still coming together - but here's the world we're building it in:

Local Artists & Talent Live Music DJ Sets Song Circles Workshops & Talks Sound Healing Yoga & Movement Ecstatic Dance Kids Area Family Programming Arts & Crafts Market Vendor Village Food Market Sacred Fire Cacao Ceremony Threshold Crossing Ceremony & Intention Alcohol-Free
Held Gently

This gathering is alcohol-free, in keeping with the ceremonial, heart-centered space we're creating together - nothing sold or served on site.

Families are always welcome, and kids attend free. They're part of the gathering, not an afterthought, with their own space and programming running throughout.

Artists & Facilitators

First up - Uria Tsur · Creative Director & Master of Ceremony

Uria is weaving this year's gathering - song, ceremony, and facilitation threaded through all four days. He's shaping the flow of each day by hand, so the gathering feels held rather than programmed.

We're at the very early stages of building the full lineup. Many more artists, musicians, and facilitators from Costa Rica and the wider region will be joining us - names and schedule to come. For now, know it's being shaped with real care.

Community & Family

Bring the Whole Family

Kids are always welcome, with their own space running through the gathering - lots of activities, fun, and spaces to get creative.

A family ticket allows two adults with kids to enter for a discounted price - and children are always free!

Tickets are open

Super Early Bird tickets are LIVE now! Tiers move up by date and by quantity, whichever comes first - the earlier you commit, the more you support the artists and facilitators shaping this gathering.
