MOVEMENT FESTIVAL 2027
Move. Play. Connect.
7–11 July 2027 | Landgoed Ottermeer, Netherlands
WELCOME TO MOVEMENT FESTIVAL 2027! 🌿
Born out of love for movement, music, creativity and connection, Movement Festival returns for its second edition! Once again, we come together to explore, play, inspire each other and celebrate life.
For five days, we transform the beautiful natural surroundings of Landgoed Ottermeer into a vibrant playground of movement, creativity and connection.
Imagine waking up surrounded by nature, discovering new ways of moving, learning exciting skills, dancing freely, creating together, sharing music around the fire and connecting with inspiring people.
We believe that movement and play are essential parts of being human. Through curiosity, creativity and shared experiences, we cultivate presence, joy, connection and wellbeing.
Here, you don't have to become anything. You're invited to explore, express yourself and simply enjoy being alive.
Movement Festival is a drug- and alcohol-free gathering. We believe in the beauty of connecting, celebrating and experiencing life fully, just as we are.
Whether you're an experienced mover or completely new to these practices, there's a place for you.
Come as you are. Move as you feel. 💚

🌳 The Location — Landgoed Ottermeer
Hidden in the Dutch countryside, Landgoed Ottermeer is a nature sanctuary surrounded by forests, water and open green spaces.
With its swimming lake, woodland paths, beautiful gathering spaces and welcoming atmosphere, it offers a unique setting to reconnect with nature, yourself and others.
For five days, we create a temporary community where movement, creativity, shared meals and meaningful encounters become part of everyday life.
A place to feel at home in nature.

🌱 Beyond the Festival — A Movement Towards Regeneration
We believe movement is not only something we do with our bodies. It's also something we create together.
By reconnecting with ourselves, each other and nature, we can explore more conscious and regenerative ways of living.
Through community, creativity, ecological awareness and shared experiences, Movement Festival invites us to imagine and practice a healthier relationship with the world around us.
Small movements can inspire meaningful change.
