A wonderfully moving festival, where you are both touched and moved; your body feels, your body remembers, and your body embodies. Step into it and feel yourself in a completely new way, and get to know yourself better in the company of other like-minded people.

KÆRLIG Festival is a truly safe, open, inclusive, and loving heart-space where you can meet yourself and others on a deeper level – and together create loving and heartfelt development ❤️

Amazing experience.
It’s very inclusive, safe, warm, fun, down-to-earth—and challenging on my own terms. I can say yes or no, skip what I don’t feel like doing, and step out of my comfort zone. It’s easy to volunteer—great leadership and well-structured. I’ll be back next summer 🥰

A fantastic, loving, and heart-opening festival. I came home happy, uplifted, and tired, filled with wonderful experiences.

I had never been to a Tantra festival before, so I was a little unsure what I was getting myself into, but right at the doorstep, I was met with so much warmth and love, and it continued throughout the entire festival. I experienced that the setting was safe and clear, that there was complete freedom to be myself and to choose what resonated with me. And that you were supported when you needed it, and could get all the hugs and cuddles you wanted or needed. It was a fantastic experience that fills me with joy, and I would recommend the festival to everyone. I am definitely coming back next year.

I felt more open, free, and safe during the festival. I feel that a lot of light and love was created; it was an enriching experience for me, and I will come again.

KÆRLIG 2024 was my first time at KÆRLIG. I will come again. I love the mix of theory/philosophy and more practical tantric workshops. I consider myself experienced, but I still gained something. I need more than just sexual challenges, and I found that in several different workshops. I also think there should be space for yoga and meditation related to tantra.

KÆRLIG is an absolutely magical place. I feel so safe, so at home, surrounded by loving people and in such fantastic surroundings. The community created is truly unique, and I can genuinely recommend others to participate if they feel a calling for community, loving people, personal development, and meeting themselves and others authentically and openly.

Five days without competition, judgements, or evaluations, but instead, plenty of love, open-mindedness, sharings, and personal development are GOLD for the soul!

KÆRLIG Festival was the 5 best days of my summer!
KÆRLIG opens and connects – and everyone helps each other to arrive and feel that we belong. My experience at KÆRLIG was mirrored in the change I saw in another woman: She came alone from another part of the country, and when I first spoke to her, she felt uncomfortable and out of place. On the last day, I saw the same woman sitting in the middle of the lawn in the sun. She had a colourful ribbon in her hair, was topless, and was in close contact with two others, glowing and laughing ❤️

The word 'vitality' says it all. Your entire system is involved in this revitalisation process: your body is revitalised through dance and yoga, your heart through community and connection, and your consciousness through all the awareness that naturally results from it all. My warmest, warmest recommendation.
- Participant, VITAL 2024
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
The Vital Festival awakens the body, soul, and heart in the most beautiful symphony. In a bubble of activity, joy, and loving souls—and surrounded by the magical setting and energy of the Sugar Factory—you’ll find space and room here to be exactly who you are and bring exactly what you have to offer.

I had the most wonderful, playful, loving, and fun days at VITAL. I felt so revitalised when I left. I truly recommend it. The facilitators, food, and surroundings are fantastic. I'm already looking forward to next year ❤️

I was fascinated and thrilled by how I initially felt I had very little creativity, but was gradually supported in the most welcoming way to unleash my very own creativity, which didn’t have to resemble anyone else’s.

It was wonderful to be both a teacher and a participant at Adama’s first creative festival, and it was great to see the vibrant, creative community take shape—and to witness new friendships form.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I wasn’t quite sure what to expect from the creative festival, but I had the experience of a lifetime. They pushed the boundaries a little, but in a positive and loving way. There were no expectations of performance—just presence, calm, and immersion in a cozy community. I came home filled with impressions but buzzing with energy and wonderful experiences.

Dear Adam and Louise, I was completely blown away by the beautiful house, the fantastic surroundings, and the warm welcome I received. The room’s beautiful and simple decor, the aesthetic atmosphere of the common areas, the old garden/park with its magnificent, century-old trees, and—last but not least—the warmth with which I was welcomed made my heart leap with joy. A rich and fulfilling program from which I learned a great deal, plus lovely yoga and meditation to start the day :) The food was vegetarian and vegan—just my style—and it tasted heavenly. I bonded well with my fellow participants, with whom I’m still in touch 🌼 Tranekær is a chapter unto itself, and I would recommend this beautiful, warm, and enriching experience to everyone.
Thanks to Adam and Louise 🌸🌸 ❤️

A week of love on Langeland ❤️ It was a magical setting, a loving and amazing team, and exciting participants who all brought such positive energy ❤️

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
"In my life, there is a 'BEFORE' and an 'AFTER' 'Kærlig.' At Sukkerfabrikken , the facilitators created an environment free of comparison and competition, and I realized just how much energy we humans sometimes waste on that. We are all on a journey here on Earth, and we can help, support, and 'draw on' one another in that process. I got a strong sense of womanhood and sisterhood, and since the festival, I’ve been looking at my own daughters with even more loving and clear eyes. My whole body and soul were so deeply nourished at “Kærlig,” and I gained memories and experiences that will last a lifetime. I feel that I can navigate life better now; I’m more aware of my boundaries, my desires and aversions, and I’ve become much more attuned to what gives me energy and what drains my energy. I’ll definitely be back ❤️

"What sets the Kærlig festival apart from everything else is that you can clearly feel the loving energy and intention that form the foundation of the festival. It was five days filled with workshops that awakened the heart and mind. There were about 100 of us in attendance, but by the end, we were a family. That was magic. You felt right at home at Sukkerfabrikken and the other facilities throughout your entire stay. Every nook and cranny invited you to linger and enjoy the atmosphere. The team of facilitators was there on a mission of love, and we were all inspired by that feeling. The food was delicious and plentiful. If you can only attend one festival, then go to Kærlig. “

"Kærlig set the stage for a week of profound healing and deep personal work for me. I went home with new insights, fond memories, and a network of wonderful new people—a soul family. I am grateful that I trusted my intuition, which led me to sign up, even though it was uncharted territory and outside my comfort zone. And I am very thankful to all the participants and facilitators who made it all possible."

"KÆRLIG was my first tantra festival, and I don’t think I’d want to try any others—I just dream of going back next year. It was a perfect mix of workshops, and I felt that my choice of workshops and the various events in between blended together in a wonderfully harmonious way. Temple Night was magical! I still get goosebumps and shivers down my spine when I think back on those five days at sukkerfabrikken."

In the summer of 2022, I attended the KÆRLIG festival, and it was truly a fantastic experience. I found that a safe space had been created where it was possible to explore my own mechanisms, beliefs, and defense mechanisms with curiosity—a place where space was made and I was invited to let my inner processes unfold. At the festival, I encountered a wide range of skilled and inspiring facilitators who knew how to create space for exploration and growth. I returned home with a sense of curiosity and a desire to delve much deeper into the topics I encountered during the festival, along with new acquaintances who inspire and challenge me in just the right way, sparking my curiosity. The physical setting is an experience in itself— Sukkerfabrikken s creates the perfect setting for the festival, an oasis where, for a moment, you forget time, place, and space, and can truly immerse yourself. I wholeheartedly recommend KÆRLIG.

I experienced the KÆRLIG festival in 2022 as some wonderful vacation days filled with vibrant, nurturing, and inspiring people and workshops. Adam and Kate facilitated everything so beautifully: they created a safe space that welcomed diverse creative facilitators, forms of expression, and emotions. The beautiful natural surroundings and the cultural-historical setting in Tranekær—not to mention the delicious food and the friendly staff at Sukkerfabrikken —helped make the experience truly complete.
Mette, Kærlig 2022

A transformative experience. Beautiful people, beautiful surroundings, beautiful processes. I came very close to not going, but I’m so glad I did! “Kærlig 2022” was in many ways a turning point in my life, and it has opened so many doors within me that had been closed for years. My deepest wish is to live completely freely and authentically, and now I’ve taken a step closer to that. Together, the participants and the talented facilitators created a strong, safe, and unique space that allowed for a shared experience filled with enjoyment, joy, dance, play, immersion, and sensuality—and provided room for deep, transformative processes to take place, where both sorrow and anger were welcome emotions because they were held in love. All of this took place within the fantastic setting of Sukkerfabrikken, which supported this beautiful space in every way—with delicious food, scenic surroundings, and friendly, kind people. Will I return in 2023? I certainly will.

I went to the most wonderful summer festival, “Love.” I’m completely new to that world, and I was a little—or rather, very—nervous about what I was actually getting myself into. Would I feel at home? Would I be welcomed and accepted? I was welcomed, I was accepted, and I felt so much love. I was able to open up parts of myself that had long lain dormant—parts that can help me move toward a more authentic life. My life will never be quite the same again. The most amazing thing is to experience that when the framework is built on love, prejudices are set aside, and space is created to set people free—if, that is, we ourselves are ready for it 🙏 Thank you for that and for all of you 💖🙏🤗

Dear Adam and Kate. I don’t even know where to begin. The KÆRLIG festival was simply four magical days filled with beautiful nature, yoga, a cacao ceremony, healing, mindfulness, and—last but not least—connection and love. I’m grateful to have been part of your first KÆRLIG festival, and I’m already looking forward to the next one! ❤ As a photographer, it was truly a pleasure to work in the beautiful surroundings of sukkerfabrikken on Langeland and capture so many beautiful moments. I’ve already recommended the next KÆRLIG festival to several of my friends. I look forward to seeing this “child of love” grow even bigger. My warmest recommendations from here.

Dear everyone, This year’s festival was truly LOVELY! Waking up in those beautiful surroundings, surrounded by such beautiful and warm souls, was truly something special for me. It moved me deeply—and still does—to look back on the journey we were on together and separately. It touched me deeply and was full of love and care. There was room for everything—including my need to step back. I feel very lucky to have been invited. And by the way, the food was absolutely fantastic. Kate and Adam—JUST ONE MORE TIME, is all I’m saying!!! 😍

Facilities: They were fantastic. There was plenty of space, and the restrooms and showers were top-notch; the food was really good. The vegetarian cuisine was of a high standard—please be sure to pass that on to the kitchen staff. The surroundings were peaceful and beautiful throughout the entire retreat. Just 150 meters from Tranekær Castle. And I absolutely loved your outdoor café, especially the table and chair on the far right. I also made good use of the cuddling corner for some wonderful, loving encounters. Workshops: Your sexual healing session with Anders, in particular, was truly powerful and transformative. I had a partner with whom I almost melted into one in a deep and honest intimacy. The individual ceremonies for the festive evening on Saturday were really well planned by Helene, Zara, and Samuel. Helene’s workshop in particular—with the throwing of heavy stones and stones placed into the tree—was very beautiful. One small note, though: A recurring issue in the workshops was the facilitators’ tone of voice. It was simply too low. That needs to be improved. You are all beautiful people with whom I’d love to share my life in the future, both intellectually and emotionally. You’ve created an environment that’s just right for me, and I feel welcome there.

The event was beautifully orchestrated by Adam and Kate, who, with natural authority, calmness, and LOVE, created a space that was both inspiring and nurturing—though I felt it was perhaps a little too nurturing, but maybe that was one of the reasons why all the participants were beaming and the atmosphere became magical.

Trine and Sukkerfabrikken is a wonderful place that incorporated organic farming and sustainability into its concept long before these concepts became something people had to take into account. Sukkerfabrikken has been a pioneer in organic farming on Langeland and, indeed, throughout the South Funen Archipelago. Try it for yourself and be pleasantly surprised.

Wonderful place and top service. If you want to experience a beautiful place where you can host your next party, a weekend course, or simply be pampered, you should visit Langeland and the old Sukkerfabrik in Tranekær.
