PORTAL: IMMERSIVE WEEKEND *
IMMERSIVE PERFORMATIVE WEEKEND EXPERIENCE
There are whispers from the heart of the forest, where antlers pierce the twilight and the pulse of the Earth grows louder. CERNUNNOS calls to you, wanderer—What stirs in your untamed spirit as you step barefoot into the space where wilderness remembers you? In the fertile darkness of the unknown, what truth does your wild heart seek to reclaim?
PORTAL: CERNUNNOS beckons you to a sacred, multi-sensory experience beneath the ancient forests canopy. Step into the liminal, where creatures breathe and spirits stir—let us gather at the roots of the wild and meet the divine primality in movement and sound.
This journey is not for the faint hearted. You may be called upon to confront the shadows and pleasures deep within your psyche. If she demands it, you must be ready. The ritual has already begun.
This curated artistic event will integrate elements of Celtic folklore, performance, communal collaboration, narrative immersion, music and ritual with the intention of creating a deeply mystical experience.
PORTAL CERNUNNOS offers a truly unique experience that sits somewhere between an art festival, music festival, burner event and live role playing game. You as the participant will be taken on a carefully crafted journey, together with us.

It is very important to note that this event is not suitable for children, pets or those who struggle with sensory overstimulation.
The event will involve venturing through woodland, sometimes including uneven surfaces so please judge for yourself if your accessibility needs will be able to be met by yourself or if you will need support.
We craft experiences that are not only magical and mystical but sometimes also deep and challenging.
All activities and processes within the weekend are a gentle invitation to engage and participate in a way that feels wholesome to your personal needs and journey.
CREATORS
We are Egle and Sam, the duo behind PORTAL — an immersive, conscious club experience.
Inspired by our journeys through the world of dance music, we’re deeply curious about how our ancestors connected with the Earth and its natural cycles through communal, sacred dance ceremonies.
We will be co-creating this experience with a small group of our friends, all of us filling the multiple roles of artist, actor, technician, facilitator. Your unique presence is essential—we cannot make this a truly immersive experience without your participation. We invite you to arrive with an open heart and a willingness to co-create a multidisciplinary art experience that reconnects us with the wild.
PORTAL is open to people from all walks of life. While we hold no political or religious affiliations, we are guided by a deep spiritual reverence for nature’s divinity.

“Welcoming, accepting spaces like these are so important for healing, for helping us seeing the depths of our conditioning among like-minded souls, buried in the fractal labyrinth that continually unfolds in front of us as we explore.
Thank you so much for co-creating this. I've spent a lot of my life having few safe spaces to allow me to engage with these issues in a healthy way. Your events consistently give us all a place to do this. 🙏❤️🙏“
