Concert and Grand Co-Creation
Minifestival, August 10-11 th, 2024
The largest co-creation event of the summer on the Estonian islands, where soundscapes are born in the moment, from beautiful runic songs and folk songs to instrumental flows in co-creation. Music for every taste and age. A peaceful and calming experience awaits, offering solace for the soul.
Experience the magic through music and healing fire rituals, guided by Anu Pahka, the winner of the TV program: Challenge of the Clairvoyants, together with the Northern Eagles. Anu teaches how to empower yourself by using ancestral wisdom, drawing strength from nature, and protecting yourself from negative energies. She has helped thousands of people heal and shares her empowering chants with all co-creators. Anu, along with the Northern Eagles, uses music and fire to provide spiritual nourishment and peace of mind during challenging times. Bring your instrument you can play, drums, bells, rattles, and shakers, or simply come to sing and create together. Let’s heat up the August night.
Let’s meet in the magical Pädaste manor to create an enchanted land together and experience unity. After the concert, there will be communal singing, empowering rituals around the bonfire, and dancing that ends with a grounding gong journey. Bring something to sit on the grass during the concert. NB! If weather is rainy, the co-creation takes place inside the Carriage house Stone hall. Camping is available. There will also be an affordable café open at the Pädaste Yacht Club until midnight.
If you stay overnight, you can enjoy complimentary morning yoga class and experience Pädaste’s new SPA, featuring a smoke sauna ritual (limited space, book early) , a sauna circuit, nordic cold tube, and the only healing hot spring in Estonia and the entire Baltic Sea region.
But what does Co-creation mean?
Co-creation in music is a novel approach where musicians gather without any expectations or precise notions of what they will play. There are no predetermined, rehearsed, or agreed-upon rhythms, harmonies, or chords—no sheet music or prior rehearsals. Instead, musicians sit together and simply begin to create, carefully listening to each other and allowing space for individual expression. This process resembles a musical discussion, where every note is a question, answer, or comment, forming a dialogue of sound. In this collaborative environment, there are no right or wrong notes, just a wonderfully liberating shared journey of discovery.
Co-creation represents a revolutionary way of creating, listening to, and experiencing music, emphasizing the joy of creation, spontaneity, and mutual respect. This specific innovative form of music was born two years ago at Pädaste Manor, through the collaboration of Kristjan Järvi, Imre Sooäär, and some of the musicians who will also be performing this time. Thus, it is a small-scale celebration of Co-creation’s birthday. Kristjan Järvi also refers to this form as Meeltevidevik (Twilight of the Senses). A beloved child has many names!

Magic Yin/Voice Yoga with Daniil
We begin the day with awakening breathing practices on an empty stomach to attune to the body and mind. Before starting the practices, we take 2 drops of organically grown CBD hemp oil (note: does not contain THC) to support the balance of body and mind. After a 15-minute full-body warm-up, we smoothly transition through 21 yoga postures, following the natural rhythm and needs of the body. Daniil guides us as if he intuitively knows exactly what your body needs at that moment. Each posture is accompanied by vocal practices that deepen relaxation and allow for an even more profound experience. This yoga session takes you on an intimate journey with yourself, helping to release both physical and mental tensions and blockages.

Author’s Sauna Ceremony “Back to Zero” Guided by Daniil
The ceremony begins with drinking blue lotus tea to prepare us for the sauna. In the steam room, Daniil leads us through a unique experience where the flow of hot air and our own voices make the particles of the energetic body vibrate. During the first ceremony round, Daniil precisely scans the group’s spiritual intention, helping to create a deep connection. This is followed by a grounding and refreshing break with liquid tobacco mapacho and the Earth’s magnetic field.
During the second ceremony round, we focus even more on the harmony of body and voice, working in pairs or individually. In this round, we embark on a journey to release our fears, doubts, and harmful thought patterns, ending in a state of deep surrender and gratitude. The round concludes with a mapacho and spring water ritual.
The third and fourth ceremony rounds are stages of individual deep work, where Daniil guides each participant back to the starting point, where the body and mind are clean and sensitive. In this state, great opportunities and clarity about which direction to move—whether regarding food, relationships, or life’s path—open up to us. The ceremony is delicate and profound, bringing us to the purest core of our being.
We end this special experience with a celebratory drink of mapacho and Chaga, also known as black birch mushroom tea. Throughout the ceremony, we maintain high energy with invigorating water procedures and energizing teas prepared in a samovar. During the ceremony, our own voice plays a crucial role, helping to create a deep connection with ourselves.
