During this drug and alcohol-free festival, spiritual teachings, sessions of meditation and movement - as well as the evenings of electronic music - are proposed in search of self-knowledge and freedom. And it is a beautiful way to party together!

Each day, we'll have two 3-hour periods of silence, one in the morning and one in the afternoon. The day will be punctuated by two movement sessions. This is a time when we invite everyone to be more connected with themselves.

KIDS:
To enable you to participate as a family a special area is created for children (aged 6 and over).

Under the big top of the "La Compagnie des Astres", the children will be able to try their hand at a variety of circus skills, various games, etc.

A daily meditation adapted for children will also be offered during the festival.

DENIS ROBBERECHTS (Dharma Nature): Teachings and guided meditation

Denis was born in Belgium in 1969 and grew up in a generous family, in a house where everyone was welcome. In 1997, he left for India, where he spent a total of seven years. His quest for beauty and depth led him to study Indian classical music under the guidance of Sri Parashuram Pandey.

His approach to meditation, based entirely on our ability to observe, is simple and defies all beliefs. It is a concrete approach which has nothing extravagenet or complex: an  incentive to take a diligent, sincere and honest interest in oneself. It's just a decision to take the time to observe yourself, calmly and free from any judgement. A simple path that leads to greater intimacy with ourselves and a better knowledge of who we are.

The circus is a complete art, which enriches both physically and intellectually. By directing learning towards creativity and play, children flourish and surpass themselves surprisingly.

-Through juggling, they become aware of space by manipulating objects.
-Through the trapeze (or aerial apparatus), they overcome their fear and apprehend height by becoming aware of the risk.
-Through acrobatics, they learn to know and control their body.
-Through balance, they feel their support, learn to search in order to find.
-Through magic they learn skill and
manipulation of the public gaze.
-Through clowning, they express their being and their knowledge in spontaneity and emotion.

Our collective workshops allow for group dynamics, to work on the notions of respect, listening and trust. Mutual assistance and exchanges between participants are essential. They promote the autonomy of people in their learning to respect the pace and needs of each person.

The Compagnie des Astres has existed since 2014.

Hélène Jamesse will be guiding the mouvement sessions during the festival.

Body awakening, based on the practices of stretching and yoga, enable us to better approach the first meditation of the day. 

The instructions are simple and are for everyone, to  just close their eyes and let the body wake up in the morning silence.

A little later in the morning, the second session of movement is all about fluidity, both energetically and within the body. The practice is based on free dance, yoga, visualisations and listening to our environment, moving into the heart of life.

No prior experience is necessary to fully appreciate and participate in these practices.

Hélène is a yoga and free dance teacher, and author of several publications (at Hachette)

Created in 2023 by 4 musicians from different worlds, Taalkimia is a sonic alchemy, where traditional Indian, oriental and tribal music merge with trance and techno.

Thomas J (sitar) illuminates the tribal and electronic rhythms of Raf Raavni (machines, keyboards, didgeridoo) with captivating melodies.

The percussionists Yohan Nouville (tablas) and Naim Ben Abdallah (derbouka, djembe, bongos..) give colour and emotion to this music which resembles tribal trance. Without borders, this mix is inspired by traditional music whilst using the power of electronic music.

Accompained by Franck Argentais, sound engineer and arranger specialised in trance, he brings the dancefloor touch to this musical fusion.

A show full of good vibrations, with a strong tempo that will take you on a journey through dance!

The fruit of research and work on the impact of soundwaves on the body and mind, the sound and visual experience presented by Fredo (.On.Iris.) takes us into deep, attentive listening and offers us the chance to plunge into the heart of ourselves.

The frequency-band technologies and binaural rhythms used in the composition of his music help to bring the cerebral hemispheres into unison, enabling the experimenter to access and control altered states of consciousness.

Multi-instrumentalist, Producer and DJ, Big John has been unleashing himself on French stages, clubs, festivals and raves since 2008.

Raised on the drums and doped with synthetic hormones, he is agile in handling analog, and his incisive synths coupled with his wild instincts as a drummer create a sound with a devastating groove.

For the Dharma Techno Festival, Big John invites singeMoostik from her side project: 'Odyssey 42' a mix of Cool Waves and Synth Pop. The two universes will immerse you in a story especially written for the event.

The festival's visual identity, merging decorative elements,
mapping and lighting, is the result of a collective creation led by Freeflow, Nico Tico, Feenix13, (.On Iris), and Infrapooh. Together, they immerse the audience in a visual and sensory experience.

Videographers, scenographers, lighting designers and visual artists from electronic cultures and alternative movements, they combine their talents to shape unique universes, adapted to each guest artist.
