Solstice At Wasing

“Peak experience, highlight of the year and one of the best experiences of my life. Life affirming, healing, absolutely spoiled by the level of musicianship, the overall production and attention to detail. It feels like coming home to the tribe.”

“Everything about it was phenomenal. I left feeling on top of the world. Blessed to have been there.”

“One of the most transformational and sacred days I've ever had in the British Isles”

“Sublime peaceful and magical land at Wasing, amazing musicians, and great people, top class, surrounded by ancient woodland. One not to miss. Life changing events at Wasing.”

“Most magical of Solstices. From the ceremony to the exquisite live musical performances, we were held in wonder beauty & reverence. Ape Chimba & Anouska Shankar around the fire was a bit beyond words to describe. We danced laughed and celebrated life held by the Earth & land and the Wasing team. The venue is incredible- the attention to detail land art and atmosphere was stunning. Our experience was transformative and profound. Thank you so so much Wasing team so very much. This will live on in my heart and we will be back”

“It gave me a profound sense of mindful community. Place of mutual trust and celebration full of good energy. I will always cherish this special event and kudos to who team who has curated such meaningful space.”

“Anoushka Shankar around the fire is something I will keep in my heart for a very long time. Exquisite. Stayed by the fire all night, loved every moment. And the morning walk, ceremony and welcoming the sun was all perfect.”

“Magical! The location, the music, the workshops, the people- it was a fantastic experience. I left feeling a profound reconnection with everything.”

“A gentle unfolding, like petals opening under the sun. The land, the tribe, the music, the silence… all holding space for the layers to melt. Lit from within, glowing from that sacred remembrance. A real heart-opening, soul-aligning flow. That pure frequency where time bends and everything just is. Love, connection, spirit, truth… all of it woven into the moment. Riding a golden wave right there — riding that peace, grounded in the afterglow where everything’s slower, softer, more real.”

“One of the best festivals I have ever been to.”

“Wasing truly does have a magical feel to it and we feel blessed to have been there again.”

“The Solstice Festival was absolutely beautiful. A wonderful event created and facilitated by lovely people. I felt blessed to have been part of something so special.”

“My experience at Solstice is one I’ve never felt before, it’s was beautiful. I left feelings energised, happy and ready for the summer.”

“I was genuinely moved by several performances, and the closeness of the setting created a memorable, heartfelt experience.”

“I absolutely loved it. I thought it was really relaxed, friendly, and well-organised. Beautiful venue and spaces, beautiful music, sun ceremony, ecstatic dance. I left feeling on cloud nine.”

“Sending love to all involved and all the artists. Amazing experience I will never forget.”

“I love that it was a low-key, authentic and intimate experience - everyone seems to be there for the right reasons.”

The ‘Ragas‘ they play from Indian Classical Music have a profound effect on our energy field. Ragas are charged with prana/chi and help regenerate and restore our energy and balance. This music therapy emits a deep vibration which nourishes the listener. This brings harmony between the mind, body and soul. The Blue Lions begin with instrumental music and then sing different Ragas and compositions before beginning the mantra chanting. They play ancient stringed instruments like the ‘Taus’ which is very rare and was designed by the Sixth Sikh Guru.

Augustine Leudar: Sol

Augustine Leudar has spent the past twenty years crafting interactive hallucinations—immersive 3D sound and visual installations that merge cutting-edge technologies with dreamlike ethereal experiences. Exhibited across the globe, his work transforms physical space into living, breathing environments that respond to the presence of the audience. A subconscious fascination with the occult runs like an underground current through his practice and many of these installations function as invocations as much as they do artworks.

For the solstice, this new work, Sol is an atmospheric quadraphonic composition, an immersive ode to the sun. Within this sonic environment, the ‘holomorph’ utilizes Max/MSP and sensor technologies, enabling the audience to sculpt sounds in 3D space with their hands creating an interactive audio landscape — aligning the senses with the turning wheel of the year and propelling them into its next radiant phase.

Audyssey (Gavin Lawson): Audyssey AVE - The Portal to the Immortal

‘The Portal to the Immortal’ reimagines ancient solstice rituals through a 30-minute electronic music performance that merges production tools (Ableton Live 12, Serum, Pigments, Max for Live) with field recordings and ritualistic rhythms. By translating ancestral practices into a contemporary electronic framework, this composition is designed for live performance and creates a liminal space for consciousness exploration, aligning with both historical solstice ceremonies and modern principles of sonic entrainment.

Over the last 12 years I have been analysing data, trialing new methodologies in audio immersion, mindful living & soma sensory stimulation. My fascination is with the investigation of creativity in music, exploring the intrinsic and rudimentary forms of musical entrainment. Such entrainment not only facilitates but also nurtures the emergence of further creative expressions across a variety of temporal frameworks, anchored in an individual's capacity to forge profound associations with their auditory and visual landscape.

Robot Koch & Naina Eira: Svarasa Ritual  

Following their appearance at Breaking Convention—Europe’s largest conference on psychedelic research—Robot Koch and Naina Eira bring their transformative sonic ritual Svarasa to Wasing. Rooted in nondual tantric principles, contemplative science, and ancient Buddhist practice, Svarasa is a 20-minute immersive meditation and sound journey that invites participants into deep presence. Award-winning composer Robot Koch guides a spatial soundscape that blends electronic, ambient, and immersive audio elements to gently shift awareness and foster profound inner listening. Meditation teacher and psychedelic researcher Naina Eira leads the meditation with a grounded approach to timeless wisdom traditions, activating sound as ritual and the body as a field of awareness. Svarasa—from Sanskrit Svara (primordial sound) and Rasa (essence or nectar)—offers sound as a path back to our true nature.

Robot Koch is an award-winning composer, producer, and sonic innovator whose work exists at the intersection of sound, art, and immersive technology. With a deep curiosity about the connection between music, science, and consciousness, he creates cinematic soundscapes that transcend traditional genres, blending electronic, ambient, and modern classical elements into deeply evocative experiences. With a discography spanning multiple albums and over 100 million streams, Koch's music has been featured in films, TV series, and immersive audiovisual experiences that captivate audiences worldwide. His live performances, known for their multi-sensory depth, have sold out venues across the globe. A recipient of multiple international awards, including "Best Immersive Experience" at the DTLA Film Festival, Koch has collaborated with renowned artists such as Grammy-nominated conductor Kristjan Järvi, as well as Max Richter, Christian Löffler, and Anoushka Shankar. Constantly exploring the transformative power of sound, Koch’s work pushes the boundaries of music as a tool for healing, connection, and expanded awareness—bridging art, technology, and human emotion in profound and unexpected ways.

Soul Revolution

In a dysfunctional modern world that rarely allows our mental, physical, and emotional health to flourish, our vision is to create a festival where we provide access to tools designed to help improve all areas of their wellness. This includes our connection to nature, each other, the divine – and above all our innermost self, our Soul.

Soul Revolution’s vision is to co-create a more unified world and way of being at a time where feelings of division and separation are widespread. In a world full of escapism, we envision facing reality head on. There is a call for us to turn inward, to face our fears and our flaws so we can evolve together in a loving, gentle, and compassionate way.

THE FIRESIDE SESSIONS 

In 2025, an unparalleled musical experience awaited us as Anoushka Shankar and Âpe Chimba lead the Fireside Sessions.

For those who attend Solstice seeking not just music, but a holistic and transformative experience, Anoushka’s fireside performance promises to be one of the highlights of the festival. It’s a chance to experience the beauty of live music in a setting that nurtures both the soul and the body - a place where the sounds of the sitar, the forest, and the sky will come together in perfect harmony.

Âpe Chimba is a multi-instrumental musician, singer, composer and music producer. His music resonates across borders and times blending the primal with the divine. He draws inspiration from old African music, Flamenco, Latin, Indigenous folk songs, world electronic music, Ape’s live music conjures both deep self-reflection and liberating dance ecstasy.
