About us:
Returning to roots, fire, and self
“Gabya Isle Rituals” was born from a deep desire to create a space in today’s fast-paced world where one can pause, ground oneself, and truly experience the present moment.
Surrounded by the nature of the Kaunas Reservoir peninsula, we bring together ancient Baltic mythology, deep spiritual and somatic practices, live sound, and contemporary electronic music. Here, the fire is not just a decoration – it is the sacred presence of the goddess Gabija, the axis of togetherness, and a symbol of inner renewal around which a conscious community gathers.
Our mission:
To gather creators and community around the living fire of Gabija, nurturing respectful connections with the Earth, ancient traditions, and one another through music, rituals, and togetherness. This is a pure, conscious festival space where everyone is invited to remain in a clear, sober state and walk the path of self-discovery and inner growth.
This year’s focus: RITUALS
Birth and wedding rites, celebrations of the wheel of the year, fire, chants, incantations, divination, farewells and new beginnings. Rituals accompany us through life’s most important transformations, help us remember our ancestors and preserve our connection with our traditions.
Gabya 2027 will invite you to discover the rituals of the Baltic and other world cultures, to explore their origins, meaning and place in the life of people today – together with those who preserve, practise and pass these traditions on.
Over all three days of the festival, music, rituals, practices, creative workshops, crafts and conversations await us. There will be a chance to learn from teachers and creators of different cultures, to delve deeper into familiar traditions and to discover new experiences.
