Yes, it is spring time!! 💚

The Spring Equinox marks a powerful shift; the moment when day and night are perfectly in balance. It’s a time of renewal, growth, and awakening. Nature begins to bloom, the days grow longer, and we are invited to step into a new cycle of possibility.

This is a moment to reflect: What seeds; both literal and metaphorical; do you want to plant? What intentions do you want to nurture as we move into the light half of the year?

Many cultures and traditions honor this sacred turning point with rituals of cleansing, gratitude, and connection to the earth. Whether through a fire ceremony, a sunrise meditation, or simply taking a mindful walk in nature, the Equinox offers a chance to realign with the rhythms of life.

At Hipsy, we believe in the power of gathering, celebrating, and tuning in to the energy of the seasons. Explore upcoming Spring Equinox events and welcome this new chapter with intention and community.

Have you already booked your festival for the summer? 💚

Life is incredibly beautiful and extraordinary. The very fact that we exist is a great magical mystery. Joy, celebration, and enjoying life are inherent to being human, and what could be more beautiful than celebrating life itself?

By coming together at a festival to dance, sing, share, play, explore, and experience, we celebrate life by fully embracing it. In doing so, we say yes to life, to ourselves, and to everything it is and encompasses.

March is the month of awakening, of the first warm sunlight on your face and the promise of new beginnings. It’s the perfect time to step outside, breathe in the fresh air, and invite lightness into your days.

Start your morning in the sun, take your coffee or tea to the park, and feel everything slowly coming back to life. Surprise someone with fresh flowers, wear that outfit that’s been waiting in your closet, get a ticket for a dance night, or grab your paintbrushes and let your creativity flow.

Step into spring with intention and small moments of joy.

The Art of Being Outside – A Journey Back to Presence 💚

Menno Heling has always believed that stepping outside is more than just opening a door; it’s a shift, a ritual, a way of seeing the world with fresh eyes. In his latest blog on Hipsy, he explores The Art of Being Outside and what it truly means to connect with the landscape.

From his self-built cabin in Lorraine Gaumaise, France, Menno documents his journey through Closer to Landscape, a video diary that captures the rhythm of nature, local traditions, and the quiet moments that bring clarity and healing. Through walking, observing, and engaging with the land, he discovers how being present in a place shapes identity and deepens the connection to the world around us.

In this blog, he shares how the project took shape, what he has learned so far, and why being outside is more than just an escape—it’s a way of coming home.

For many, embracing polarity means stepping out of comfort zones. For men, this could mean softening into emotions, learning to trust intuition, and embracing the feminine within. For women, it could mean claiming personal power, setting boundaries, and embodying the masculine when needed. The magic happens when we stop resisting these forces and instead allow them to support us.

From ta**ra workshops to ecstatic dance and conscious relationship events, Hipsy offers a space to explore polarity in all its forms. Whether you're looking to deepen your self-awareness or create more meaningful connections, the journey of polarity invites you to step fully into who you are; embracing both the fire and the stillness.

𝐇𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐝 𝐨𝐟 𝐚 𝐃𝐫𝐮𝐦 𝐂𝐢𝐫𝐜𝐥𝐞?! 💚

A drum circle is an ancient ritual where people come together to connect with each other and Mother Earth. By standing in a circle and following your own heartbeat with your drum, you naturally attune to a shared rhythm. As the rhythm builds, you infuse it with your intentions and dreams, grounding them through your feet into the earth.

This creates a powerful energy field where collective dreams and wishes are sent into the earth through the vibration of the drums. It is a deeply healing and connective practice, both for yourself and for the planet.

𝐀𝐫𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐚𝐥𝐬𝐨 𝐰𝐨𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐚𝐧 𝐄𝐜𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐜 𝐑𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐢𝐬?! 💚

Ecstatic raving is an emerging trend that blends the energy of the party scene with the mindfulness of ecstatic dance. More and more people who love electronic music and dancing are discovering this concept; one that offers all the highs of a rave without the lows of a hangover.

With the same pulsating beats and euphoric atmosphere as a nightclub, ecstatic raving takes place during the day, attracting like-minded people who dance purely for the joy of movement. The focus is on natural highs, deep connection, and freedom of expression. The music is more upbeat than traditional ecstatic dance, creating an electrifying space where people can lose themselves in the rhythm while staying fully present.

Instead of waking up drained, dancers leave with an afterglow; feeling recharged, inspired, and connected. Ecstatic raving is more than just a party alternative; it's a movement redefining the way we experience dance, music, and celebration.

Getting into your body means shifting your awareness away from the constant chatter of your mind and into the physical sensations, emotions, and experiences present in your body. It’s about becoming fully present in the moment, feeling grounded, and reconnecting with your natural rhythms. When you're truly "in your body," you're not just thinking about how you feel; you are experiencing it directly.

In modern life, we often disconnect from our bodies due to stress, overthinking, or spending too much time in the digital world. This can lead to tension, emotional numbness, and a sense of disconnection from ourselves and others. By getting into your body, you cultivate deeper self-awareness, emotional balance, and an overall sense of well-being.

Our energy centers (chakras) are deeply connected to our emotions, memories, and inner balance. Many of our unconscious blockages originate in childhood, and by combining chakra work with inner child healing, we can experience deep transformation and healing.

In this blog, you will discover how each of the seven main chakras is linked to different life stages and how to break through limiting patterns. You will also learn how techniques such as kundalini activation, ta**ra, breathwork, and detox can support you on your journey to wholeness.

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐩𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐈𝐧𝐧𝐞𝐫 𝐂𝐡𝐢𝐥𝐝 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤

We are not born as adults. As children, we explore the world and move through various stages of growth. No one’s life is perfect, and we all face challenging moments during our childhood. When these experiences aren’t fully processed, they can settle into our subconscious and affect us as adults, often without us realizing it.

By doing inner child work and reconnecting with these parts of ourselves, we can rediscover creativity, joy, and passion. This process helps life flow freely once again, bringing a sense of renewal and deeper connection to our true selves.

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐩𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐫𝐞𝐥𝐚𝐱𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐨𝐟 𝐬𝐢𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐲 𝐛𝐞𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞 💚

Obligations, expectations, stress. “How are you? Me? ...Busy!” Sound familiar? Finding a moment of rest and relaxation often feels impossible, yet the solution is so close: nature!

In our daily lives, we’re constantly "switched on," exposed to technology, deadlines, and social pressures. Stepping outside can offer a truly healing experience. Whether you’re walking through a forest, strolling across the heath, or letting the sea breeze refresh your mind, nature provides the perfect reset.
