°˖✧NīANSA✧˖° is an interspecies outdoor gathering initiative primarily focused on fostering collective, deep listening experiences by exploring the symbiotic relationship between soundscape and landscape. Through active, sensory communion with the sonic and natural surroundings, we reflect on the interconnectedness of nature and human experience, cultivating a heightened awareness of sound and its profound impact on our perception and consciousness.
Moving beyond conventional institutional norms, we strive to craft bespoke, delicate playgrounds where creators and wanderers alike collide, exchange, and voyage freely. We envision our gatherings as a departure from the typical festival grind. Instead, we like to think of them as temporary, world-built microcosms, where like-minded beings from all walks of life, converge to connect, touch grass, and drift together into the luminousness of the unseen and the unheard.
LOCATION
This year’s NiANSA portal opens in the lush embrace of Rakov Škocjan Landscape Park, with our main gathering point centered around the Guest-house Rakov Škocjan, which will once again serve as the NiANSA mothership for our journey.
Over three consecutive days, from June 6th until June 8th, 2025, you’re invited to explore a fantastical realm of sensory delights and landscape fascinations. Shapeshift your consciousness and let your curiosities unfold amidst the luminous karst landscape, with the gentle Rak River flowing just 100 meters away from our gathering zone.
In this shimmering, kaleidoscopic playground, you’ll submerge yourself in over 40 carefully curated audio-visual experiences. From exploratory live music, sound art, and avant-garde dance performances to genre-defying DJ sets, site-specific installations, experiential workshops, guided sound walks, and collective deep-listening sessions—all seamlessly interwoven with bespoke world-building experiences hand-crafted for this exquisitely rare occasion.

PROGRAM
Beyond various psychoacoustic experiments, live music, and audiovisual performances, a key focus in our program curation is also placed on hyper-specific, genre-defying DJ explorations and collages, adding an extra layer of sonic intricacy to our gathering.
In addition to the aural dimension, we place equal importance on the visual and experiential layers of the gathering. Scenography-related works—such as projection mappings, site-specific installations, contemporary dance performances, and unique world-building experiences—transform the landscape zone during NīANSA, offering a full-spectrum sensory delight for every voyager traversing with us.
