BREATH OF FREEDOM | PEACE FROM WITHIN
BREATH OF FREEDOM | PEACE FROM WITHIN
What are you here for?
Okay, let's find out.
A club experience that moves you from the inside out. An ADE Special: guided breathwork meets live improvised electronic music.
Breath of Freedom brings guided breathwork and live electronic music into one room. The waves of the music meet the waves of the breath: a space to reconnect with your body, yourself and the people around you.
High on your own supply.
ADE fills Amsterdam with music and movement. Breath of Freedom offers another way in: through the breath.
This edition is created in collaboration with Vrijburg: an iconic church in the heart of Amsterdam. A place for reflection, connection and exploring what gives life meaning.
Together, Breath of Freedom and Vrijburg create a space where the worlds of club culture, breathwork and spirituality meet: club breath. A different kind of club experience: one that invites you to slow down, feel and connect.
A DJ from the club scene builds a live, ambient soundscape in the moment: moving from deep bass and subtle rhythms to higher frequencies, spacious textures and waves of sound.
The music follows the rhythm of the room and the breath of the group, shaped by the energy of the people in it.
The soundscape moves between pulse and silence, intensity and stillness. Stillness becomes the movement.
The breath becomes the rhythm.
The music becomes the wave that carries you from the inside out.
A way to quiet the running monkey in your mind and arrive fully in the present moment. To explore what emerges when you make space and allow yourself to be exactly where you are. When you meet yourself and breathe with whatever is there, that is where freedom begins.
Breath of Freedom happens in one room, breathing side by side. Everyone is free to experience the moment in their own way. You can turn towards the energy of the room and the people around you. Or follow your own breath, inward. There is space for both.
A place where curiosity, excitement, vulnerability, shyness and aliveness all have space.
From there, we find each other.
Check out this video.
Before the night unfolds, we begin with the most powerful source of energy we already carry: our own breath. High on your own supply.

Festival FAQ
ADE Festival tickets are sold individually by the festival event organizers, but you’ll also be able to purchase them through the ticket links on the event pages on our website here.
Not to worry! Make sure to contact the event (or their ticketing provider) you are visiting as soon as possible with as many details about your order; name, email address, amount of tickets, etc. Once they've recovered your order, the tickets can be resent to your email.
Need help to find your event's contact details? Message us at [email protected] and we'll be happy to help.
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 ADE Pro Pass grants you access to all ADE official festival events.
Be aware though that there are over 1,200 events during ADE that you can enter with the Pro Pass wristband and that ADE cannot guarantee access. There is a limited capacity that each venue can take into account for Pro Pass holders. This means for some of the more crowded events you have to arrive early. Once capacity is reached, we will go over in a full-for-now policy. The festival event organizer will decide when and if more people are allowed to go in.
The ADE Pro Pass is the perfect fit if you are planning on enjoying the combination of day and night events. If you want guaranteed access to a particular festival event, we advise you to get a single festival ticket instead.
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.
ADE is proud partner of the Celebrate Safe campaign.
