Off the grid, on purpose
Dworek Saraswati sits in the woods near Świeradów-Zdrój, 5 km from Stacja Wolimierz — the region behind one of Poland’s most respected experimental music festivals. No city noise, no commute, no distractions.
Studio & nature
Classrooms and studio space inside a historic manor house, surrounded by forest and open grounds — including a Steinway on site.
A live set, every night
One faculty member plays each evening, in the garden or indoors depending on weather.
Ayurvedic full board
No grocery runs, no cooking, no distance from the group.
How the week runs
Arrival Monday evening, departure Sunday afternoon. Classes run Tuesday through Saturday.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need experience to attend?
No — this session works for beginners and experienced DJs alike. Faculty adapt to the group.
What’s the difference between a tent and a room ticket?
Both include the full program, full board, and every evening’s performance. A tent means your own private tent on the grounds; a room means a shared bed in the manor house.
Can I choose who I share a room with?
Yes. At checkout you can request a mixed room (default), a women/FLINTA-only room, or list your own roommates. No preference required.
Is transport included?
You make your own way to Świeradów-Zdrój by train. From there, our shuttle bus takes you the rest of the way to the venue and back at the end of the week.
What’s the refund policy?
No refunds. Your spot is transferable to another participant at any time, and payment plans let you spread the cost if your plans need flexibility.
