Why Conscious Festivals Are Becoming Healing Spaces?
By Erblina Shehu, Founder of Soma Light Therapy
It’s hard to ignore what’s happening.
Festivals, once places for escape, excess, and adrenaline, are quietly transforming.
More and more, they’re opening space for something else: healing.
From Albania to Amsterdam, Berlin to Ada Bojana, I’ve watched this shift with awe.
Breathwork in bamboo domes. Sharing circles at sunrise. Nervous system resets between DJ sets.
People gathering not just to lose themselves, but to remember who they are.
This is the movement Soma belongs to. And it’s the reason I’ve spent the last two years traveling from one corner of Europe to another, carrying our lamps, mats, and sound, into the heart of these rising conscious festivals.
Why We Bring Soma to These Gatherings
When you arrive at a festival that’s built with care, you feel it in your body.
The pace slows. The people soften.
There’s music, yes, but also mornings in silence, wild baths, open eyes.
These festivals aren’t escapes.
They are portals.
Soma Light Therapy supports the integration of everything that moves through you in these spaces.
Our sessions don’t interrupt the journey, they anchor it.
In 30 minutes, with closed eyes and tuned frequencies, your body is guided into a state of rest and reconnection.
You don’t need to “do” anything. The light holds you.
And in a setting where emotions rise, boundaries shift, and the spirit awakens, that kind of pause can make all the difference.

“Ada Divine Awakening” Is More Than a Gathering
If there’s one place I urge you to join us this year, it’s Ada Divine Awakening.
Ada Bojana isn’t loud or overwhelming. It’s subtle, wild, feminine, and deeply supportive.
It sits where the river kisses the sea, and everything about the land invites softness.
It’s a space to unlearn, to re-pattern, to remember the version of yourself who feels whole without effort.
This year, Soma is offering something special for those who feel called:
If you book your Ada Divine Awakening ticket using the code “SOMA”, you’ll receive:
- A discounted festival ticket, and
- A free Soma Light Shot session during the event
This is my thank you, for choosing presence, for saying yes to your path, for believing that slowing down is not weakness, but wisdom.
This Isn’t a Trend. It’s a Return.
What we’re witnessing in these conscious festivals isn’t just fashion, it’s a re-alignment.
We are remembering that celebration can include stillness.
That healing doesn’t have to happen in clinics.
That transformation can look like dance, light, touch, rest, laughter, release.
If you’ve been looking for a place to start again, softly, honestly, these spaces are waiting.
And I will be there. With the light on.
With care,
Erblina
