Kisima 2026
2026-10-16 - 2026-10-19
Hosted at Beneath the Baobabs in Kilifi, Kisima Festival is Kenya’s only transformational wellbeing festival. A four-
day celebration of healing, creativity, and connection.
In Kiswahili, Kisima means “well”. A source of nourishment, reflection, and renewal. It’s a gathering space for
community and a return to what truly sustains us.
Set within a breathtaking 50-acre baobab forest, Kisima offers holistic workshops, classes, talks, and panel
discussions rooted in the five elements : Ignite, Inspire, Ground, Flow, and Ether. Explore all five throughout your
journey and discover how they move within and around you.
But Kisima is more than a festival, it’s a portal. Rooted in African ancestral wisdom and rising with the pulse of a
new earth, Kisima is where the soul of East Africa gathers to heal, dream, dance, and awaken.
Under the ancient baobabs, through music, movement, ritual, and radical expression, we remember what it means
to belong to the land, to ourselves, and to each other.
In 2026, we journey into the theme of LOVE
Love as vibration, as medicine, as connection to all life.
Love that softens and strengthens, that heals and unites.
Together, we’ll explore the many forms of love: self-love, communal love, love for the Earth, and the love that
moves through everything.
This is the well-being festival of the future: unapologetically African, wildly alive, and deeply unifying.
Welcome to Kisima 2026 – The Love Edition: Return to the Heart
Festival Highlights:
Healing From Addiction – A brave session held by Fareed Diamond Khimani
Horse Therapy – That’s right, we have a whole a paddock with beautiful horses
Breathwork and Cold Plunge – Discover the secrets of the iceman with Kenya’s only certified WHM instructor
Wellness workshops from sunrise to sunset
Aerial Silks – Learn circus skills and fly through the sky
Kids Classes all day long – Enjoy well- being workshops at any age
Daily integration Sessions – Drop in on a session with G4MH to integrate the transformational sessions you are
experiencing with the support of therapists.
Kaya Elders Ceremony – Connect with local spiritual practices
Kilifi Culture- celebrating indigenous knowledge and practices of Mweria and Dhome
Live Music Daily

Super Early Bird Ticket: 5,000 Ksh
