ARILLAS, CORFU · GREECE
2027 EARLY PREVIEWECSTATIC HOLIDAY
2027
Dates to be announced
LESS RUSH. MORE LIFE.
Somewhere between the music and the sea, you find a different rhythm.
SHINE brings people together through ecstatic dance, live music and movement in Arillas, a coastal village on Corfu. There is time to go all in. And time to do very little at all.
We’re dreaming up our next chapter for 2027, with the people who made the first one special.
MAKE ROOM FOR THE GOOD STUFF
No steps to learn. Just music to move you, a floor to meet on and space to find your own way.
Dance without a scriptEcstatic dance journeys, different sounds, your own rhythm.
Get a little closerLive music, movement and moments of connection.
Leave space for the seaSlow afternoons, salty skin and the pleasure of doing less.
FAMILIAR SOULS. A NEW CHAPTER.
The full first-edition lineup is our starting point for 2027. Meet the DJs, musicians, facilitators and practitioners.
All 18 appearances are planned, subject to confirmation. Sessions and programme details will follow.

YOUR DAY, AT A DIFFERENT PACE
A glimpse of the rhythm we loved in 2026. The 2027 programme is still taking shape.
Inspired by our first editionBegin with Qigong, dance meditation or a gentle movement practice. A chance to arrive in your body before the day unfolds.
Breathe · move · arrive
Let an ecstatic dance journey, a cacao gathering or a singing circle bring the morning into full colour.
Listen · dance · connect
Explore a workshop or a private session. Or take the afternoon slowly: a swim, a village wander, a long lunch with someone new.
Explore · rest · swim
Gather again as the light softens. Ecstatic dance and live music were at the heart of our first evenings together.
Gather · celebrate · glow
An illustration, not a timetable. Your 2027 daily programme will be announced.
ARILLAS · NORTHWEST CORFU
Arillas, on Corfu’s northwest coast. Sea air, green hills and sunsets that ask you to stay a little longer.
Our first edition found its home at Gayatri Mandir, an open-air gathering space beneath the trees.
Arillas is the setting for this 2027 preview. Venue and travel details will be confirmed with the dates.
A little island planning Corfu International Airport (CFU) is the island’s airport. Transfers and places to stay will be covered in the 2027 travel guide once dates are announced.
