As we reach the 7th edition, first of all we want to thank each one of you for participating these years in Waha, helping it grow strong and beautiful as it is. As mere facilitators with a clear intention, we share this playground where each one of you is a co-creator of the Now, who acts within this space of freedom and potential, shaping the reality we all want to live in, where everything is possible and happens in the magical way we all already know. This is the seed that we want to plant in the world, a seed of change and hope to build a healthy existence.

The mysterious forest, the smooth hillside, the trippy twilights, the starry nights, the cows, the shepherd, the happy people, the smiles and laughter,the bass, the dance, the love, these are few of the main forces that we all play with to create the Waha Experience. So let’s come together and celebrate these 5 days in the most fun and creative way possible
