music

Kilifi Wellness Festival – Meet Mo

Few artists describe their work as healing, but for Nairobi-born singer-songwriter Mo, music has always been exactly that. Her sound blends soulful vocals, rich melodies and rhythmic grooves with lyrics designed to soothe, uplift and connect.

music

Afri-love Fest

If you’re looking for a New Year’s festival in Kenya that goes beyond parties and resolutions, Afri-love Fest 2025 offers something deeper. Taking place from 31 December 2025 to 1 January 2026 at Muzi x Kesho in Voi, this two-day cultural gathering blends music, wellness, creativity, ritual, and community in one immersive experience

music

iNTUNE

The Sound of Nairobi and beyond. iNTUNE captures the rhythm of a city always in motion. This is where Nairobi’s sonic culture lives—fresh drops, forgotten gems, and genre-blurring grooves that define the 254 code.

podcasts

David Macharia – The Comedians Comedian

At 27, the Nairobi-based stand-up comedian has become a recognizable voice in Kenya’s comedy scene, building his reputation on a style that feels effortless but is anything but. Laidback, sharply observational, and edged with a kind of playful irreverence, his comedy often lands in that space where you’re not sure whether to laugh immediately or sit with it for a second. And then you do both.

nightlife

All Hail MDQ

iN had the rare opportunity to sit down with none other than Muthoni Drummer Queen, MDQ herself. A musician, cultural architect, and the main festival organiser behind Blankets & Wine, Muthoni has played a defining role in shaping how Nairobi gathers around music, culture, and community.

nightlife

Mothers of Chibok – Screening iN Nairobi

A shocking headline, a wave of global outrage, a viral hashtag, and then, slowly, silence. The 2014 kidnapping of the Chibok schoolgirls was one of those moments that seemed to shake the conscience of the planet. For a brief time, the world could say the name of a small town in northeastern Nigeria. People marched. Leaders tweeted. The phrase Bring Back Our Girls travelled across continents.

Then, as global attention inevitably does, it moved on.

What remained in Chibok were the mothers.

R*E*S*E*T by the Sea: A Wellness Retreat in Kilifi

The R*E*S*E*T Retreat at Nderit House isn’t just a getaway—it’s four days to fully switch off, be looked after, and come back to yourself. With only seven spots available, this is a rare chance to experience something truly personal, intentional, and deeply restorative.

TRAVEL

Kilifi Wellness Festival – Alice Tenjiwe Kabwe

By the time you meet Alice Tenjiwe Kabwe in Kilifi, it is clear that movement is not simply something she teaches — it is something she inhabits. With 20 years of practice and a lifetime shaped by rhythm, relocation, and reclamation, Alice’s work sits at the intersection of dance, fitness, healing and homecoming.

TRAVEL

Kilifi Wellness Festival – Shrena Malde

We meet Shrena Malde in Mombasa, where the ocean air feels almost symbolic of the work she has dedicated the last two decades to — clearing, balancing and restoring energy. A practising Pranic Healer for 20 years, Shrena speaks about healing not as mystery, but as method. Not as miracle, but as life force in motion.

WELLNESS

IN THE SEASHELL HUM : THE LOUD IN THE SILENCE

Award winning author and poet Adipo Sidang’ brings you a play that promises to be as enthralling as its name: In the Seashell Hum. This theatrical piece deals with the heaviness and complexities of mental health in a way that is multilayered and nuanced, addressing a darker side that we can often see and yet refuse to talk about.

WELLNESS

Finally, write your book!

This two-hour workshop is not about learning how to structure a book or plan chapters. It is about something much more fundamental than that. It is about the relationship between you and the work that is trying to come through you, and what it means to live your life as the person who is writing it.
