Beloved,

We are really happy to invite you as a full volunteer for the Awaken as Love Tantra Festival in the Netherlands 2025. The festival will take place from the 23rd – 27th July, 2025 at the Kasteel de Berckt in the Netherlands.

The Volunteer days are 22nd – 27th July, 2025.

• A Free Festival Ticket. Food and accommodation is for your own cost. This means you get a discount of 50% on the all inclusive ticket price – and if you work in the kitchen we give an even bigger discount!
• A 20 Euros referral commission on each ticket that uses your promotional code, which we will give you.
• Full participation in the festival. While taking on your volunteer tasks is a priority.

• You will be there on the 20th in the evening for the start-up meeting.
• Stay at the end until everything is cleaned up.
• A working meditation service each day for up to 4 hours. Creating and securing a beautiful Festival area with flow, ease & grace and some sweet sweat.
• Becoming an Ambassador of the festival:
  • Share and promote the festival on social media, invite 200+ people to the FB event, and post at least twice on your own wall that you are going including a link to the FB event.
  • People get 10% off coming through you, and you get 20 Euros for each referral.

These are the areas of service. Specific roles within these areas will be presented and assigned as we come together onsite as a team. You will select a primary and secondary team in the application that follows this information page. The choice of accommodation for Volunteers is the same as festival participants but at a much reduced price (all options include 3 meals a day at the festival).

Kitchen: From 300 Euros with the camping option.

This is the team of heroes! The kitchen is the heart of the whole festival. This is the most important team, without food, nothing will work. All other functions can be done on-the-fly but not the kitchen, it needs a team of dedicated heroes. With our awesome chef the kitchen is a workshop in itself, rocking it (literally) the whole day.

• • food preparation, chopping veggies etc
  • preparing or cleaning the dining area
  • logistics for the dishing station
  • your service time each day are in special shifts supporting the cook for each meal

Physical space keeping: From 330 Euros with the camping option.

The most shamanic of our teams where you will experience the grounding and satisfaction of keeping the site clean. You may find that you are creating inner cleanliness and tidiness as you go. Working together with the Love Angels you will set up the workshop spaces. You will work to physically and energetically clean these same spaces to allow the following workshops to begin in a fresh and clean environment. You will also clean the communal toilet and shower areas. It is the smallest team and the impact is subtly felt. It doesn’t have the rambunctious rock and roll energy of the kitchen, nor does it have the glamour and kudos of being a chosen love angel. It is for those who require the humility of a good job done for its own satisfaction, and for those who desire the grounding and inner alchemy Hercules experienced cleaning the stables of King Augeas. Let your own hero’s journey begin in this team.

This team is feeling us organized and taken care of. They are the muscle of the festival. It is the force behind the scene that provides the foundation of our sacred container.

• • preparing, cleaning & clearing (energy and matter) spaces
  • setting up group rooms for workshops (mattresses, pillows, musician setup, sound support)
  • keeping common areas in buildings clean, like entrances, showers and bathrooms
  • your service time each day is spread out and can mostly be handled during break times

Flex Volunteers: From 330 Euros with the camping option.

This is for those with cars who will go into town to pick up supplies when we need. It is only available to Space Team Volunteers and will be included in your volunteer hours. There will be no more than one shopping trip per day.

Love Angels: From 330 Euros with the camping option.

The noble heart warriors of the festival, holding a strong space in which our participants can feel safe to fully express themselves. You will provide emotional support to participants and physical support to teachers, ensuring they have everything in place to give the workshops in which you will be helping hold the space.

At temple nights and cacao ceremonies you will hold the delicate and sacred energies while being available to participants who may need support.

It’s a position for those who have experience holding these spaces and will be allocated by invite only.

Sound Person: From 330 Euros with the camping option.

Our Festival team values are ease, communication, integrity, and the ability to be on time. We do expect you to be a great team player and to handle any personal growth work that comes up in a self-reliant way while also completing any tasks that are assigned to you. We do have a schedule and a specific roster of tasks and… we do expect the unexpected and trust that you will pitch in and handle the unexpected with us.

We are looking forward to creating and celebrating with you!

Thank you for stepping in and for your Yes!

James Stevenson, Festival Organizer
