This is Where the Sheep Sleep!

A transformative event needs a special environment… it’s to be found deep in the woods of the Dutch Veluwe… A place for amazement, creativity and community!

This year, Where the Sheep Sleep will be held on the beautiful Bosweide inside Park Berg & Bos in Apeldoorn.

Green slopes, majestic trees and even a tranquil spot for our Temple: Berg & Bos has everything our Sheeps need for a weekend of dreamed reality.

Berg & Bos is part of a nature reserve and is granted to us, thanks to our continuous effort in Leaving No Trace and cleaning all MOOP. This does however limits the use of open fires and amplified music at night. Other than that, it’s the perfect spot for this Burn Event where we invite all co-dreamers that want to make their dreams a reality.

PREP, PREP

With a self-reliant event like this, you need to take care of yourself and your own needs. So preparations are needed! Please read the survival guide carefully and act like it.

Bring sealable bags to separate waste and take it back home, buy wetties to wash yourself (or not, whatever you feel like ;-)), bring food, drinks, shelter, water, sleeping gear and your sparkling self (there are no foodtrucks on site people!), have your tickets downloaded and ready. And much much more to think of.

So, click & scroll and consume it all!

WANTED: YOU!
