Butterflies in Babylon – Amsterdam Festival

🦋✨BUTTERFLIES IN BABYLON

After a long winter whirlwind of restrictions and lockdowns, and thus inevitable letdowns and setbacks, you may have found yourself in a deliberate state of hibernation.

It’s time to awaken from the slumber, after a period of transformation and change. Spring is here, summoning us to break free from our cocoons, emerging as colorful butterflies.

On May 14th, The Gardens of Babylon will host its first Amsterdam music festival at Noorderlicht and NDSM in Noord.

Transforming the NDSM wharf into a garden of vivid hues and inspiration, we invite you to wear your most colorful outfit to spread your wings and flutter freely.

Divided over three stages, you will find DJs, live bands, acts, immersive performances, speakers, spiritual activities, and much more.

🦋✨THE GARDENS OF BABYLON

The Gardens of Babylon is a community-based organization. We create events that combine music with spirituality while offering a unique, immersive experience.

We strive to create a safe space for kindred spirits to express themselves and connect with each other, dancing the day and night away after a grounding group meditation.

Enjoy music from the best local and international DJs, wander around on the Market of Curiosities and into the Spiritual areas, and marvel at inspiring performance acts. There is no telling what you will stumble upon, or who you will meet.

🦋✨ SPIRITUAL PROGRAM

The spiritual meaning of a Butterfly is as beautiful as it is encouraging. The metamorphosis a butterfly goes through has become the ultimate manifestation of transformation in all aspects of life.

Butterflies are the symbol of new beginnings, resilience, endurance, and change. Our Spiritual Program reflects on the hardships, releasing blockages and empowering you for the final steps of transformation.

🦋✨ THE MARKET OF CURIOSITIES

Once again, we have invited some amazing beings to sell their colorful creations for you to wear at the Market of Curiosities. Find a unique selection of handmade garments and some carefully curated pre-loved items. Clothing, headpieces, hats, and jewelry… everything you need to add some extra glamour to your party outfit.
