Events & Workshops
Welcome to Feÿtopia, where the concept of a “typical day” has yet to be invented.
Our days are filled with impromptu, emergent, and participatory events—think improv workshops, music jams, all-night philosophy discussions, intellectual and cosmetic salons, sports (indoor, outdoor, or delightfully unconventional), movie screenings, and talks, just to name a few of the more familiar offerings.
Beyond these spontaneous activities, we also host a curated selection of week-long workshops and larger scheduled events, as a chance to go deeper into a topic with a group. From planetary health to poetry, from science to spirituality : the range of topics is wide.
🗝️ Open Workshops: Most workshops you can join by registering with the listed contact person—reach out, they’re waiting to hear from you.
🔏 Sign-up Workshops: Intrigued by a workshop that’s marked as “Sign-up”? Please contact the facilitator as this workshop requires a dedicated time commitment and full attendance throughout the allocated timeline to participate.
🔒 Closed Workshops: Intrigued by a workshop that’s marked as “closed”? Don’t worry! Even if you can’t participate directly, you’re welcome to stay with us during that time and absorb the vibrant, collective learning atmosphere.
And remember, even if you’re not attending the workshops, Feÿtopia is still brimming with joy, spontaneity, and creativity. With plenty of impromptu happenings like music jams, casual sports, and philosophical deep dives, you’ll always find a way to immerse yourself in the magic of Feÿtopia.
Somatix
with Askja & Marvin
What becomes possible when we attune to our own bodies, to each other and to the group field? How do we return to our natural state and unlearn the frameworks that keep us in separation? And what wants to be created through us from there?How does our inner world meet the outer world?
Your Inner Atelier
with Diana Olifirova
Embodied flow, yoga, inner listening. You are a deep well of treasure, but to enjoy it, you must listen to your body.

Clowning
with Kae Burke.
A week-long inquiry into "The Clown" - as an archetype, a tool, a cultural phenomenon.
We will explore history and origin, as well as where clown shows up in our modern societies and communities. We will conduct exercises that will help you access your inner clown archetypes (jester, trickster, fool, mime) and explore how these archetypes can help us in our personal growth, spiritual paths and somatic aliveness.
School of Shtick
with Shelby, Sarah, Will, Sofi, and Anna
Our famous School of Shtick. Experience Design Week is back! Previous years we have taken a journey of the hidden histories of Feÿtopia through the years, been host to the 3025 World’s Fair, faced up against the tyrannies of AjarAI,
Join us for another transformative week learning about immersive theatre and experience design. You’ll team up with your fellow Feÿtopians, and create a themed space and performance somewhere in the Chateau. On the Saturday evening, all of these spaces will open to create an immersive world of characters and secrets for everyone to discover.
OpenScience
with Charlie
For the third time, we invite you to Feÿ to explore how we can reach higher in science (and the sky) by relying on each other. 🤝
We'll start each day with a pre-lunch human pyramid session, followed by open science curated discussions in the afternoon to :
- Share audacious ideas, powerful practices, and useful tools for doing open science (and, more broadly, for creating knowledge as a collective endeavor);
- Explore how AI can enrich open science~.
- Discuss the state of open science, its politics (sovereignty, anyone?), and the health of its community;
- Conjure up a collective field of excitement and imagination, from which new intentions for open science might emerge—to pursue collectively or take home individually.
🧑🚀 Human pyramids are not mandatory, but the practice welcomes all kinds of participation and enriches the week aesthetically, conceptually, and emotionally.
Planet.Health
with Alix, Rita and Alex (register here)
How can we heal ourselves, our communities and the planet together?
planet:health roots in the premise that the health of individuals is bound to the health of communities, ecosystems and the wider environment. The metacrisis pulls at each of these threads at once, with rising rates of mental ill-health, fraying communities and accelerating environmental collapse.
The realities of current health systems, humanitarian response and the climate challenges already unfolding, and asks what action-oriented pathways exist for meeting planetary health challenges now. Expect conversations and practices spanning community chaplaincy, the more-than-human, embodied and contemplative approaches to health, practical tools, the science of how wellbeing and ecology are entangled, and moving to respond to these layered challenges from the personal to the systemic.
ECOWEAVING, ECOSIGHT & XENOHEALTH
with Tony, Rita, Alex and Neno (register here)
Week 2 moves beyond the now to what is needed for planetary health futures, gathering what earlier weeks set in motion. Here we invite the practise of ecoweaving: regard, attunement, ritual and kinship across people, land and intelligence. We invite ecosight: seeing ourselves as part of the ecosystems we belong to, moving between “me first” and “we first”, and weaving many such views together. And we hold xenohealth: health as something shared by people, ecosystems and the technologies now entangled with them, with symbients met in right relationship rather than as servants. Bring a question, a practice or a semantic crystal from an earlier week, or come fresh. The shape of the days will grow with whoever arrives.
PRE-MORTEM
with Caro & Askja
The grown-ups aren't coming. Now what? How does a castle full of builders, mystics, nerds and poets respond to a world in transition once they've rehearsed their own death, kept silent long enough to hear their intuition, and played like six-year-olds?
"If all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail." (Maslow)
This castle is full of people who can map the metacrisis in detail, yet most of us still don’t know what to do about it on an ordinary Tuesday morning. Overwhelm, numbness and hopelessness are familiar companions. Meanwhile, many gifted, driven people are between chapters, drifting from project to project. What if they joined forces? The responses we were taught won’t get us there; we keep handing the problem back to the tool that made it. Our hunch is that the way forward lies through the doors the mind tends to avoid.
Over one week, we’ll open three: death, silence and play. Each is a two-day immersion, kept a surprise and grounded in embodied experience. Only afterwards does the mind return, to notice how our answers to “now what?” have shifted. Each ends with one small action per person that spills into the castle or beyond. Coherence can’t be forced, only made more likely, but a group may form that keeps creating together. The first door, death, goes to the root of an economy built on avoiding impermanence. “I’ve seen rooms of strangers share stories about dying and their outlook on life shift within two hours.”
The Sensorial Poets
with Sofi , Miranda, Jake & Alexa
Open to all, but please Register Here
What does it mean to sense with your poetic body? What does a poem sound like that was weaved by the ghosts in the kitchen cupboard? What song is the forest obsessed with right now? What gifts can transform a mind?
Bringing together embodied ritual performance practise through cave singing, Butoh dancing, song writing, and trance states.
Feÿnale
The END is here, again! Join us for a week of coming together to say goodbye. Co-created full house of wonders. Goodnight Feÿtopia Season 8! Feÿnale is bookable for an additional ticket price, plus your room cost.

The Art and Philosophy of Home-making
The art of home-making is a delicate and continuous process we all engage in throughout our lives. Our desire to feel safe, to belong, to find comfort, and yet to remain free and authentic individuals creates a constant tension and imbalance. Going far beyond our usual perception of home, this unique 2-weeks philosophical workshop inquires deeply into our human nature and the connections we form with our environment.
