Kosovo is a dynamic destination where tradition meets modern creativity, and its vibrant calendar of events reflects the country’s youthful energy and rich cultural roots. Among the standout happenings is Sunny Hill Festival in Pristina, a world-class music event founded by global pop icon Dua Lipa, which brings top international artists and thousands of fans to the capital each summer. Also gaining traction is NGOM Fest in Prizren, where music, nature, and activism come together in a unique blend, set against the stunning backdrop of the Sharr Mountains. For cinema lovers, the Dokufest International Documentary and Short Film Festival is a must-attend — turning the historic city of Prizren into a lively hub of film screenings, workshops, and late-night riverfront gatherings.
Kosovo also proudly celebrates its deep-rooted cultural heritage through events that honor its history and traditions. The Etno Fest in Kukaj village revives traditional rural life with folk music, artisanal crafts, and local cuisine in an authentic mountain setting. Meanwhile, Anibar Animation Festival in Peja showcases the power of animated storytelling, bringing together artists and audiences from across Europe. Whether you’re drawn by the sounds of global music, the depth of Balkan tradition, or the energy of emerging creatives, Kosovo’s events offer a fresh and unforgettable way to experience its unique identity and warm hospitality.

Yoga for Mental Health and Depression
May 10, 2019 @ 7:00 pm - May 11, 2019 @ 3:00 pm
Yoga can be as beneficial to practitioners’ mental health as it is to their physical condition. A focused yoga practice can serve as an effective means to support individuals dealing with the symptoms of depression and anxiety. These conditions can manifest through a variety of debilitating characteristics. In this workshop we will explore a restorative sequence of asanas that facilitate deep relaxation and aid in a good nights sleep. This approach is suited to those suffering from lethargy and depleted energy levels. Additionally we will introduce practices that address agitation and restlessness associated with anxiety. Through gentle flowing sequences and breath work that cultivates a sense of balance, clarity and stability these symptoms can be considerably reduced. This workshop provides teachers and practitioners with the building blocks to construct yoga sequences that are accessible to those experiencing the discomfort and isolation of depression.
