Gabya Isle Rituals

Gabya Isle Rituals Returns — may the magical, conscious journey continue.

On August 28–30, embraced by the nature and togetherness of the Kaunas Lagoon peninsula, we gather once more to farewell the summer — consciously and authentically.

Gabya Isle Rituals is more than a festival; it is a space of transformation, where the spirit of ancient rites meets the freedom of contemporary creation. Here, every soul is invited to immerse in a mindful journey of self-discovery — through music, rituals of body, soul, and fire, awakening the inner flame of joy.

We will greet the end of summer with hypnotic world rhythms and heart-opening melodies – the festival stage will be led by the legendary mantra music duo Deva Premal & Miten, whose voices and sacred songs opened the world of mantras to the West more than three decades ago. Their sound is a living prayer, inviting inner peace, heart opening and a shared field of devotion.

Sharing the stage with them are Mirabai Ceiba (returning to Lithuania after a long break), El Búho, J.Pool, Kulgrinda, Reinhardt Buhr, Nasiri and Yemanjo. These artists weave organic electronic textures inspired by global traditions, heart-soothing mantra melodies and the flow of live improvisation. Each performance invites the soul to rise through sound and the body to awaken through dance.
