Originally from South Africa, they are world travelers who have a passion for studying different spiritual and musical traditions and are avid collectors of instruments and songs that inspire them.

- Simon Glöde (DE) is a yogi and music producer who sings to awaken a world in which society is trying to make us sleep. Weaving songs, sounds and practices into immersive musical experiences where Kirtan, ecstatic dance and sing-alongs fuse into a melting pot of joy, connection and healing. Blending acoustic instruments with electronic elements in his live performances Simon’s immersive concert ceremonies invite listeners to explore compassion and courage in community. 

- Samantha Claire (SA/DK) - Singer-songwriter originally from Cape Town, Samantha has a background in performing arts and lived in London for 16 years. Now based in Denmark her music is rooted in her work with deep meditation and shamanism and she hosts festivals and retreats world wide. Todd and Julie are hosting Awaken In The Woods at the beautiful Margreteholm Mindfulness Manor.

- Nick Grimes (UK) - Vibrant, warm and melodic folk music which reminds you of an early Bob Dylan, yet Nick Grimes is totally unique and brings english folk to Sweden for the second time this summer.

- Todd Dorigo (UK/DK) - Recognised for his baritone vocal, brooding delivery, and contemplative lyrics, Todd Dorigo is usually heard crooning over dreamy or haunting dessert sonic landscapes. Todd has been playing his deep and mesmerising sings since the first ever Awaken and he is one of the head organisers and hosts along with his wife Julie and the rest of the team.

- Tom Nuth is a multi-instrumentalist musician and folk musician of Shropshire specialising in mandolin guitar and banjo. As part of several folk duos over the past ten years, he has composed instrumental and folk music & performed at festivals across the UK.

- Vide Chevalier is playing intuitive piano as well as his own original songs on his rolling Freedom Piano.
His wish is to bring both joy, relaxation and peace into the hearts of his listeners, so that this inner peace may spread - like ripples on water - into the world as a healing vibration. He may also take wishes of improvisation themes, songs and spontaneous collaborations. Just ask (between songs preferably). He recently upgraded his piano with more instruments, like a shamanic drum, tambourine, cymbal and chimes - so let’s see what comes out of it during this wonderful festival!

THE DJs

- David Ramati (DK) - David Ramati is a Danish DJ with over 20 years of experience, both on the local scene in Denmark and internationally. His impressive resume includes performances at major events such as Burning Man in Nevada and the Carnival at Copacabana in Brazil.

He has traversed many musical genres throughout his career, playing in various band projects, one of which ultimately saw him move to Berlin from Cape Town. Bummela’s music is sonically explorative, psychedelic, warm, and wild. With a deep love of sampling sounds of all fidelities, he is on the path of discovering electronic music’s power to re- contextualise moments passed through mixing analog synthesis, sampling, and live performance.

- David Lindberg (SE) – A Stockholm-based film producer, AI artist, musician and DJ who weaves together organic rhythms, oriental motifs and deep bass lines into hypnotic soundscapes. Having created visual worlds for Avicii and Swedish House Mafia, he now delves into his project Nakāya, where art, technology and spirituality meet. David is driven by the desire to create and play music that is as deep and mysterious as it is playful – sounds that entice both the heart and feet into the dance.

- Helena Edrén (DK) - Helena is a certified Yoga & meditation teacher and Holistic health coach, as well as Music and vibrations entusiast and Ecstatic dance facilitator. She loves inviting people to let their inner children out to play, roar and be silly together on the dance floor, while also embracing the subtle energies of Stillness to help you connect with your inside.
