Our last festival (2024)

What our participants say

Gratitude and appreciation for this beautiful community that gathered at the Festival. Felt like coming home. The field that was created by coming together in person is beyond words. You need to come and experience it yourself. Supported by the stunning location and the delicious food. See you next year.

Yvonne

This in person Finders meeting in Weitersroda was such a wonderful and delightful event for body, soul, mind and spirit. To meet Finders, to talk to them, to share experiences, so great!💕 For me the days also were a healing and deconditioning journey, also a retreat, learning, laughing , deepening together. I definitely will join again in 2025!

Petra

Amazing event for all interested in diving deeply into waking up, sinking in and deepening, deconditioning, integration, healing, connecting and having fun. All in a lovely and relaxed environment. Big recommendation for an event nourishing mind, body and soul. Will definitely be back, thank you🙏

Rebecca

Heartfelt peaceful joy of the energy of these forms being together in one another's presence. Awake Awareness friendships; immediate sense of connectedness. Sanjay's teachings and headset, Pernilla's music; the power of sinking in together through diverse offerings. Sinking in plus deconditioning live in community!
Spontaneous interesting conversations. Winding my way up the stone stairway, through various doorways, to my simple cozy room overlooking the courtyard. A unique experience somewhere on a different continent, open to flow with whatever energies drew this being there.
Enjoy nurturing of bodymindspirit through healthy food, sauna, deconditioning, music, depthful teachings, mystical offerings;
the power of sinking in together in loving live community.

Carol

I am still so grateful to myself, that I went to the Sinking in Festival. It was the perfect place, the castle, the nature, Fireplace and sauna and I had the opportunity to meet such wonderful and fantastic people, it was so heart-enrichening and opening to deeper sinking in, that I still feel grateful to Florian and his wonderful team and all the wonderful people that came. I simply feel I can not - come not - to the next festival! 🥰

Christian

A magical place and space. The castle holds mystery and history and humor. Flori's hosting was an inspiration to me--a transmission of care and patience and joy. I felt beyond lucky to be present for the caliber and power of the topics and presentations. I came back to the U.S. much deepened, with easier and more consistent access to effortless gratitude, ease, and presence. I also had SO MUCH FUN with other playful present profound Finders! What a rare and beautiful experience! I've already volunteered to co-coordinate more dance parties under the ancient tree for our 2025 gathering!

Klia

I enjoyed it so much in 2024 that I’m already planning to go back in 2025.

Joshua

So beautiful to be with Finders in person. The amplified field of awareness is so easy to sink in to. As a facilitator I especially enjoyed openness, curiosity and amazement within this community. Much gratitude to the organizer, his team and everyone who was there. Looking forward to the next edition. ❤️

Rike

Wonderful people, amazing location, deep diving together in great sinking-in-sessions, perfect organization! Thankful and happy, that I took part. Looking forward to 2025 😇

The Castle

Weitersroda Castle is a Renaissance castle situated in the geographical centre of Germany. It was first mentioned in records in 1478. Over the centuries it has been owned by counts, dukes, duchesses, princes and entrepreneurs – until it was (mis)managed as ‘public property’ during the East German socialist era.

In 2008, Weitersroda Castle was bought in a neglected and dilapidated state by Florian Kirner.

Since then, the Renaissance castle has been saved from destruction, rebuilt and developed.

The three-storey main building, set in stone and timber, contains 36 rooms. The stable, with its huge attic, will also be used for the event. The courtyard is dominated by a 300-year-old lime tree and offers a full infrastructure for events. Our temple grove invites you to immerse yourself in the beauty of nature.

Weitersroda Castle has excellent internet access thanks to two fibre optic lines. It is a hub for various networks and communities.

How to reach us

Schloss Weitersroda
Schlossstrasse 8
98646 Hildburghausen
Germany

Located at the southern slope of the enchanted Thuringian Forest, we are far away from any big city. Relax into “The Green Heart of Germany”.

Slow down.

By car:
Ask Google-Maps for “Schloss Weitersroda” and the good old German Autobahn will bring you here.

By train:
Coming in from North, East or South, you want to reach the highspeed train (ICE) running between Berlin and Munich.
The station you want to reach is “Hildburghausen”, there we can pick you up.
Coming in from the South, “Coburg” is also an option.
Coming in from the West you aim for “Eisenach” and from there a train will take you to Hildburghausen.

By plane:
Should it be possible for you, to get a transfer flight to the Airports of Nuremberg or Erfurt this would be the most convenient option, just 1 hour away from Hildburghausen or Coburg by train.
From the German main airports—Frankfurt, Munich, Berlin and Leipzig—it will take you 3 to 4 hours by train to come to Hildburghausen—or slightly less by rental car.
