Off-Grid Music
Production & DJ Camp
Two one-week sessions fully off the grid in the woods near Świeradów-Zdrój — studio sessions, nightly live performances, and real rest. Summer 2027.
Two sessions, one location. Pick the one built for what you do.
Music Production
A full week of production, sound design, and studio time with faculty who make records for a living. Every evening ends in a live performance.
DJ’s Retreat
A week for DJs — technique, selection, and set-building, taught by artists who play the rooms you want to play. Nightly sets on the lawn.
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. Just studio time, good food, and a small group of people making music for a week.
Studio & nature
Classrooms and studio space inside a historic manor house, surrounded by forest and open grounds — including a Steinway on site.
A live performance, every night
One faculty member plays each evening, in the garden or indoors depending on weather — six nights, six sets.
Ayurvedic full board
Breakfast, lunch, and dinner included, prepared on-site — 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.
Daytime — studio & workshops
10:00–13:00 and 16:00–19:00, Tuesday to Saturday. Small groups, direct access to faculty, hands-on the whole way through.
Evenings — live sets
One faculty performance every night, Monday to Saturday, in the garden or indoors. Free time to swim, walk to Czarna Kopa viewpoint, or just sit by the fire.
Faculty
Seven artists on site for the full week, teaching and performing — one new set every night.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need experience to attend?
No — both sessions work for beginners and experienced producers/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. Tent tickets are 200 € cheaper at every stage.
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.

46 spots per session. Early bird pricing ends when Stage 1 sells out.
