A Transformational 9-Day Kokle-Making Retreat in Latvia
Are your ready for this journey?
Create your own sacred instrument. Reconnect with your hands, your heart, and your heritage. Experience the deep joy of building something eternal — with your breath, your voice, and your soul.
Join this intimate and personal experience, only 9 participants per retreat (held once per year).
✨ Imagine this..
You are standing in a quiet forest workshop.
The scent of fresh wood in the air.
Your hands shaping something timeless.
Your voice humming gently as strings are tuned — not only outside, but within.
You are not just making an instrument — you are remembering who you are.
This is not just a craft retreat.
This is a sacred initiation into your own sound, silence, and inner song.
🌿 When I first heard the sound, everything changed…
There’s a moment – subtle, yet undeniable – when a forgotten part of us stirs. For many, the first sound of the kokle is exactly that moment. In the rush of everyday life, we forget who we are… and then a string sings, and we remember. The kokle doesn’t just produce music – it awakens something ancient, pure, and deeply human. Many who come to this camp describe it as a homecoming – a return to soul, to truth, to presence.
This retreat is for you if:
- You long to create something real with your hands
- You feel called to reconnect with your roots, your voice, your stillness
- You are a musician, dreamer, healer, or simply a human being seeking presence
- You want to enter a ceremonial space of transformation, not just a "course"
- You are open to silence, ritual, earth connection, and gentle power
What is a Kokle?
The kokle is a traditional Latvian string instrument — rooted in ancient Baltic culture and spirituality. Its gentle, harp-like tones carry healing resonance and meditative power.
In this retreat, you’ll build your own kokle with your own hands and take part in a ritual journey that opens your voice, your inner presence, and your connection to the ancestral sound.
🎼 One Instrument – Many Lands, One Soul
Kokle in Latvian. Kanklės in Lithuanian. Kannel in Estonian. Kantele in Finnish. Gusli in Slavic-speaking regions. These instruments are siblings in a shared ancestral family – the Baltic psaltery or zither family. They carry the spirit of the lands surrounding the Baltic Sea, each with its own shape, tuning, and tradition – yet all whispering the same ancient truth. In this camp, we don’t just build a kokle – we reconnect with a deep-rooted musical heritage that unites cultures and remembers the voice of nature itself.
