In this inspiring quest, the lush landscapes of Being Gathering serve as a transformative sanctuary where the harmonious dance between nature, music, and the human spirit unfolds in a magical symphony of shared moments and self-discovery.

vision

Supporting the Conscious Movement

For several years the Boom Team had this idea of making a smaller gathering. A joyful event that would embrace the many aspects developed since 1997 through Boom Festival: presenting healing areas, offering a mind expanding experience, and providing tools for inner empowerment. The connection to nature at its essence. While also, of course, keeping the communal celebration moments of music and play that are so inherent to Boom.

Originated as the Be-In Gathering during the Summer Solstice of 2015, The Being stands as a testament to conscious evolution, where healing, mind expansion, and inner empowerment converge in an intimate journey of human transformation and alignment. Now, returning with a thoughtfully curated program for all generations, encompassing healing, well-being practices, sustainability, and music workshops, it returns as a transformative force emphasizing a culture of giving and shared well-being.
