Heart Festival

Yoga & Sacred Music

28th - 31st August 2026
with Heart Of Living Yoga Foundation

A Celebration of Love, Community & Living Yoga

A Gathering from the Heart

We warmly invite you to the Heart Festival.

Heart Festival is a unique, family-friendly, retreat-style gathering, a small village of love where we come together to share food, meditation, music and joyful connection.

In this spirit of togetherness, we explore more natural, human ways of living and discover how collective love can help heal our world.

This is more than a festival.

It is a space to connect, to soften, and to remember what truly matters.

Featuring Premanjali, Anne Malone and Frances Narayani Baker

“Heart festival is the most gorgeous friendly little festival - the perfect size and full of lovely, lovely people. The kirtan singing, dancing in nature, meditation, yoga and other practices offered are so heart opening. It’s delightful eating delicious shared meals together and having fun in the sun.
