Creativity has as many faces as there are beings on this earth… at least!

We are absolutely convinced: Each person brings something that cannot be replicated. A way of seeing. A way of feeling. A tone, a rhythm, a perspective shaped by their unique lived experience.

🎨🎭

And at the same time, creation as an expression of self is never isolated. At Pura Vida, we experience it as something deeply relational.

Because when we give space and permission to whatever is moving in us to be felt, seen and heard, something larger begins to grow and form, as an evolving field that is continuously shaped by everyone who steps into it. The secret lies in the courage to really dare to connect and let something emerge without already knowing where it will lead and what it will transform into.

Except, that is for sure: always art.

Our festival journey takes us into the subtle webs that unfold between humans.

Connection, communication and intimacy….

How do we meet each other? How can we relate to and feel with others, while also staying truthful to ourselves? What does it take to build a flourishing community?

Pura Vida has never been just a festival.

It is a living space shaped by the people who gather,
the conversations that unfold between workshops,
the quiet moments under trees, the laughter, the tears, the unexpected encounters.

For a few days, something rare begins to emerge:
a sense of being human together.

Beyond roles, beyond performances, beyond the noise of everyday life.

And then, slowly, again and again, we witness how connection grows in the smallest gestures, like a shared smile, a spontaneous hug, a conversation that lingers long after sunset.

Pura Vida is built from these moments.
From presence.
From the courage to meet - ourselves and each other.

And maybe that is what people carry home with them.
♥️

Wir vermissen euch - und möchten nicht bis Juni warten!

Am 25. Februar kommen wir für einen Abend zusammen. Für Verbindung, Präsenz, echte Begegnung und Magie. Ein Raum zum Ankommen, Durchatmen und Austauschen. Zum Zuhören und Erzählen. Zum Zusammensein jenseits von Oberfläche und Alltag.

Wir wünschen uns, dass Pura Vida mehr ist als das jährliche Festival Retreat. Dass wir uns immer wieder begegnen, uns stärken und miteinander in Kontakt bleiben. Genau dafür ist dieses Gathering. ♥️

📍 Neue Schönholzer Straße 3, 13187 Berlin

🎫 15 € – online oder an der Abendkasse

Und dieses Highlight können wir jetzt verkünden:

Zum Ausklang des Abends dürfen wir uns von der Musikerin auf eine sanfte musikalische Reise mitnehmen lassen. Mit ihrer warmen Stimme und einfühlsamen Präsenz öffnet sie Räume, die nach innen führen und zugleich verbinden. Atmosphärische Eigenkompositionen und gemeinsames Singen – ein Moment zum Ankommen, Integrieren und gemeinsamen Schwingen.

See you there ✨

Artists always had a special role in society. Building immersive experiences, bridges and portals, temples and passages, spaces to pause, reflect, transform. And through these liminal spaces, art becomes a channel for new seeds, expressing the ineffable, alchemising pain, holding a mirror, moving with intention and wonder... and opening us up to new perspectives.

✨ We are calling you!

All artists, visionaries, weavers of stories, masters of mischief, guardians of the in-between, agents of change, translators of the invisible, travellers of the unknown…

Showcase your art and co-create with us!

Tauwetter.

Und: die Rückkehr des Lichts.

Der Anfang eines neuen Jahres ist selten leicht. Weniger Licht, weniger Nähe, mehr Innenwelt. Gleichzeitig lässt uns das Weltgeschehen dieser ersten Wochen kaum durchatmen. Der 1. Februar, „Imbolc“, das alte keltische Fest für die Feuergöttin Brigid markiert heute das Überleben der Dunkelheit des Winters, den nahenden Frühling.

Die alten Rituale sagen uns: Es ist bald geschafft.

Und wir müssen nicht allein durch diese Zeit gehen. Verbindung ist nun wichtiger denn je. Nähe wärmt, Stille wird gemeinsam leichter und das Miteinander lässt Neues wachsen.

Und auch wenn es im tiefsten Winter immer irgendwie unmöglich scheint, flüstern die Gesetze der Natur uns bereits zu: Wartet ab - bald blüht die Welt.

Riesengroße Freude: Dr. Emilia Roig wird in diesem Jahr Teil des Pura Vida Festival Retreats sein!

steht für radikale Veränderung, für Gerechtigkeit und die transformative Kraft der Liebe. Als Politikwissenschaftlerin, Autorin und Impulsgeberin prägt sie mit pointierten Analysen seit Jahren den Diskurs über soziale Gerechtigkeit, Heilung und gesellschaftlichen Wandel. In ihren Büchern und Essays – darunter die Bestseller „Why We Matter“, „Das Ende der Ehe“, „Lieben“ und „LIEBER SOHN oder So rettest du die Welt“ – entwirft sie neue Visionen für ein anderes Miteinander: freier, liebevoller, bewusster und für alle.

Sie lehrt an Universitäten, spricht europaweit auf Bühnen und bewegt sich als Ashoka Fellow und vielfach ausgezeichnete Impulsgeberin an der Schnittstelle von politischem Wandel und persönlicher Verantwortung.

Wir sind so aufgeregt, dankbar und voller Vorfreude, dass Emilia uns in diesem Jahr bereichern wird. Wir können es kaum erwarten, mit ihr in die Tiefe zu gehen, genau hinzuschauen, bestehende Paradigmen zu hinterfragen und uns zur Gestaltung einer kollektiven Transformation inspirieren zu lassen. Mehr Infos folgen bald.

Bis dahin: Wir freuen uns unglaublich auf diese Begegnung!

Looking back at 2025, we get so excited for this year’s festival retreat.

When the world feels torn apart in global crises, the most powerful tool we have is our connectedness.

And with Pura Vida, we will once again explore new meaningful ways of relating - to ourselves, to each other, and to this planet. We believe that the flourishing of the individual goes hand in hand with the thriving of the whole.

Will you join us?

Some days carry more weight than others.

Today is often referred to as Blue Monday. Not as a diagnosis, but as a label for something many experience around this time of year.

January can feel heavy. Less daylight, social withdrawal after the holidays, accumulated exhaustion. The idea of one single “sad day” isn’t scientifically sound. But the conditions it points to are real.

Loneliness is not a personal failure. The World Health Organization describes it as a growing public health concern. Research in psychology and neuroscience shows that our sense of safety and well-being is closely linked to social connection.

Connection is not a luxury. It is a basic human need. We share this to acknowledge what often remains unspoken. Photos by Sofia Szabó

Winter is a time of stillness, a time of shedding and turning inward, of loss and grief.

We need times and spaces like this. In the middle of all the noise and turmoil of a chaotic world, they allow us to pause and feel.

To acknowledge what we love.
To grieve what is lost.�And to remember our place in the greater web of life.

We are more than grateful that .ora.o created an altar dedicated to this practice at our Festival Retreat last year: The Oase. 🤲

Inspired by the work of Joanna Macy, her altar followed a spiral of transformation - a cycle that invited us to meet the world honestly and walk forward with courage. In Active Hope.

We could sit, breathe, feel gratitude, feel grieve or simply be. It was not a space for fixing but to reconnect.
ora.o is convinced: „Transformation becomes possible through honest confrontation with what is.“

✨What breaks my heart?

✨What is worth acting for - even if success is not guaranteed?

✨What is one small step I can take today?
