Tuvums = Closeness. A living meeting -
with yourself and summer, in nature
August 1–2 · Purlīči, near Nītaure in Latvia
Experiences for self-discovery and ease of life, music, free-flow dance, and a meditative sound journey by the fire to the day - that's just part of the program.

Come solo, with family, or with friends. Everyone is welcome.

It's for you
If you're coming alone
The whole program is built so that everyone takes part on their own — no partner practices. If you'd like, one of the parallel options will be a get-to-know-each-other activity organised by Singlesonly.
If you're coming with family
A conscious experience in nature for the whole family — children under 16 enter free. It's a chance to draw kids into being in nature rather than on screens. From 14:30–17:00 there's a separate program for children aged 6–16. The tent area has a dedicated zone for families with children.
