Two days and two nights to return to yourself with TēJā.
21-23 August
We will gather around the fire, wake up in the silence of nature, and after a shared picnic, surrender to a continuous flow of tea ceremonies, somatic practices, and sauna rituals and music.
On Saturday, most of the program will take place in complete silence.
Our guides will lead you into the magic of presence. Together, we will create a space where you can set aside your social masks and deeply reconnect with your true essence.
Tea Masters at the Festival 🍃

This year, TēJā Festival transforms into TēJā Journey, inviting you to discover yourself more deeply and experience that genuine understanding often happens without words.
Silence helps slow down the perception of time, deepen the breath, and awaken creative potential. At the end of the day, after our shared sharing circle, we will begin speaking again and continue experiencing the festival from a completely different, much deeper state of presence.
The space of silence will be filled with the sound of tea being poured, the rustling leaves of the tall aspens in the old manor park, the calls of the herons living along the Mūsa River, the gentle touch of the wind, the steam rising from the saunas, and the soft strokes of the sauna master’s birch whisk.
Our guides will be beside you, offering only gentle invitations back to yourself, never instructions. We will not tell you how to live. We will create a space where you can hear your own inner teacher.
Together, we will learn to listen to the wisdom of the body, trust its intelligence, and restore a deep, intuitive connection with ourselves and with nature.
In the evenings, we’ll gather around the fire with live tribal music. On Friday, Terra Shamanica; on Saturday, Andean medicine songs by MALLKU WAYRA Emanuel Martinez , and Sandis, Arjun, Konstantin as AtmaNada with percussions; and on Sunday, Manu Straume.
We’ll sing together under the starry August sky, surrounded by the crackling fire, and dance until the night settles into silence.
These will be days filled with tea, living silence, gentle inner warmth, and, above all, authentic encounters that arise from genuine depth.
