About Ayla Schafer
Ayla Schafer is a multi-lingual ‘world folk’ singer-songwriter and a visionary musical artist weaving together a stunning repertoire of original poetic songs with traditional and tribal music, her music expressing a passionate dedication to earth consciousness and the sacred ancient wisdoms.
With a rising international presence, she has become known as ‘A voice of the Earth’ and is a powerful sound in the world of ‘ceremonial/medicine music’ and the growing eco-spiritual movement. To experience the essence of this stunning songstress is to be taken on an enchanting musical journey that ultimately leads us back to the very core of our own inner existence.
‘A special part of this evening will be gathering with shared intention to Honour the Water. The Waters of this Earth that give and sustain all life, the waters of life that flow within us and the deep waters of our emotions and inner world. Together we will offer our prayers to the Water; to celebrate, listen, praise, grieve, honour and remember what is truly sacred. With our voices, dance, prayers and hearts we can consciously connect and open up to remember our place within the web of life. Honouring the water is to honour ALL of life’.
Ayla supports Tree Sisters and we are planting a tree for every soul attending her concert, that’s why the ticket costs 50 Cent more. We are looking already forward to creating magic together!

High Chai Tea House
High Chai Teahouse is a mobile teahouse that you will encounter at all our HeartFire concerts. Come home from your trip to the concert and get to meet old and new acquaintances in this dreamy Victorian ambiance. At the bar you can order the tastiest quality products from the Chai Angels.
The hand-brewed Chai Tea has grown famous, and you can only get it here. You will also find yogi tea, fresh mint, ginger and lemon tea. Not to mention all the sweet treats…. Both raw vegan and home-baked cakes, brownies and refreshing authentic drinks.
This bohemian atmosphere bar was designed by Ilona Dorgelo. The High Chai once started when Ilona made cake and chai for friends with a heartbreak. With the theater school and three-star restaurant De Librije as a background, this accidentally grew into a serious concept at our HeartFire concerts.
