EXPERIENCE

Mother nature

Our origin and our guide. She teaches us balance, resilience, and interconnectedness. When we show her the love and respect she deserves, we deepen our connection to ourselves. By doing simple things like growing our own food and honoring the moon's cycles, we come back to who we really are. Our choices should nourish the Earth just as much as they nourish us.

Throughout the festival, we’ll explore vital practices for living in harmony with nature, blending traditional wisdom with modern life. From sustainable living tips to creative workshops using natural materials, you’ll learn how to align with the Earth’s rhythms and embrace the peace that comes with truly honoring her.

Health

The foundation of feeling good and making real, lasting changes. We believe that the path to renewal starts with eating fresh, local, plant-based foods, and moving our bodies every day. It’s not about perfection but rather making conscious choices that feel right for us. The festival is the perfect chance to hit reset, let go of old habits, and step into a healthier version of yourself.

Food is at the heart of any gathering, and at our festival, it’s no different! Our passionate chef and kitchen team are crafting a vibrant, plant-based menu designed not just to nourish your body, but to awaken your senses—with rich colours, delicious aromas, and flavours that truly satisfy.

And because health is a personal journey, this year we’re offering something special for those who want to go even deeper. Alongside our main menu, you’ll find a raw vegan bar serving seasonal fruit, fresh-pressed juices, smoothies, crisp salads, and light, energy-packed meals—perfect for those looking to detox or simply enjoy food in its most natural form.

Whether you come to indulge or cleanse, every bite is made with love, intention, and the magic of real, wholesome ingredients.

Freedom

True freedom is having the courage to be yourself. It’s about breaking free from societal expectations and living in a way that reflects our deepest values. Here at New Moon World, freedom is all about being creative, inspiring others, and dreaming boldly. When we tap into our own truth, we ripple that energy outward, sparking liberation and creativity in those around us. At the festival, an array of workshops, musical performances, and fun activities will be available, so feel free to choose where to participate!

Community

We believe in compassion, connection, and the beauty of supporting each other. When you join the festival, you become part of a family where we all have each other’s backs on this journey. This is your chance to connect with like-minded souls from all over the world. We strive to be a beacon of hope for those seeking a new way of life, proving that change is not only possible but attainable.

Growth

Growth is the heartbeat of our movement, and we want to help you become a leader of change: someone who challenges broken systems, embraces ethical living, and makes the world a better place for everyone. With nature as our guide and our hearts full of courage, we’re here to inspire action and transformation.

Our sacred family land


Nestled in the heart of Baldone, Latvia, this land carries the soul of our family. Their passion and care breathe life into every corner, creating a space filled with warmth, and the feeling that you truly belong. Though not vast, it is intentionally crafted to feel enchanting, like stepping through a portal into a world where magic is real.

Take a walk around the festival grounds and you’ll find all sorts of beautiful spots: a lively stage pulsing with music and movement, two spacious tents where deep and meaningful workshops await, cozy teepees, a soothing sauna and hot tub, tucked among the pines, a hidden tea house, and just next door, a horse stable adding that extra bit of rustic charm.

Here, every path leads to something new, every space tells a story, and every moment is yours to cherish. Welcome home!
