Zero Zones by The Sanctuary Earth Foundation

From Codex to Pulse - Old wisdom meets modern science, live and in the body.

Looking for a moment of stillness? For any ADE participants looking to recharge, integrate their experiences, and reconnect with themselves before stepping back into the rhythm of the city. Immerse yourself in an H₂O-shaped spatial sound installation where 4D audio and binaural composition bridge theory into sensation.

A space of silence, connection, and restoration. This pilot presents a state change. Limited capacity. Big vibes. Bring your curiosity!

EFM and TSEF welcomes all, regardless of background, culture, or belief, inviting visitors to reconnect with themselves and others in an environment of equality and collective resonance.

About The Sanctuary Earth Foundation:
Monica van der Meulen is a visionary creator and urban wellness pioneer, and the founder of The Sanctuary Earth, science-backed “Zero Zones” that counter city overstimulation through spatial sound and H₂O-inspired design. She bridges archives to embodiment: from ideas encountered at the EFM to frequencies you can feel in The Sanctuary’s immersive installation. Her background spans media production, artistic direction, and the delivery of complex builds in the Netherlands and Spain turning ambitious, multidisciplinary concepts into lived experiences. Fluent in Dutch, English, French, and Spanish, Monica connects partners across culture, science, and health to design civic spaces where attention resets and coherence returns.

The 'Zero Zones' project was orchestrated in collaboration with:
Lasse Mosegard
4DSound technique
M.A.M. Muziek als Medicijn Erasmus MC

Philosophers and free thinkers who have played a role in Amsterdam, such as Spinoza, find their place here. The museum is also home to an alchemical flower garden and a cafe.

Most festival events have an age limit of 18+ (and sometimes even 21+ or 23+). These are Dutch governmental rules which state that below the age of 18 you are not allowed to enter a club.

Please double-check the promoter's or venue's website to be sure you can access the event!

Yes, the Pro Pass grants you access to all ADE official festival events. Even if a festival event is sold out, you can still access the event with your ADE Pro Pass wristband. During ADE there are over 500 festival events and hundreds more cultural and conference events you can enter with the wristband. One thing to keep in mind is that there is a limited capacity that each venue can take into account for ADE Pro wristband holders. This means that, for some of the more crowded events, you have to arrive early to ensure attendance. Once capacity is reached, ADE Pro holders will be let into the event on a one in-one-out basis.

We dance together, so please be mindful of yourself and each other. We expect an open attitude from our visitors towards other guests, regardless of their origin, gender, sexual orientation, religion and age. If you see or experience any unwanted attention, harassment or behavior of any kind that makes you uncomfortable, please speak out and notify staff.

Please keep in mind: we love being your annual host, therefore, we would like to ask you to enjoy yourself responsibly.
