Movement Festival 2027

7–11 July 2027 Landgoed Ottermeer, Netherlands

Move. Play. Connect.

A playground for movement, music & community.

Welcome to Movement Festival

Movement Festival is back for its second edition!

Born from a shared love for movement, music, creativity and connection, we come together once again to explore, play, inspire each other and celebrate life.

For five days, the beautiful natural surroundings of Landgoed Ottermeer transform into a vibrant playground of movement, creativity and connection.

Imagine waking up surrounded by nature, discovering new ways of moving, learning exciting skills, dancing freely, creating together, sharing music around the fire and connecting with inspiring people.

We believe that movement and play are essential parts of being human. Through curiosity, creativity and shared experiences, we cultivate presence, joy, connection and wellbeing.

Here, you don't have to become anything. You're invited to explore, express yourself and simply enjoy being alive.

Whether you're an experienced mover or completely new to these practices, there's a place for you.

Come as you are. Move as you feel.
