That’s it – you’re booked! No need to print anything out…But please read this page carefully and bookmark it – it will be updated from time to time.
Next could you please fill out this form?
And please get your own travel insurance before you come.
A few weeks before the event we will launch a Telegram group where you can begin to get to know each other 🙂
The festival begins with dinner at 7pm on the 17th August and you must come on this day. You can come at any time on the 17th and hang out.
The festival ends after breakfast on the 24th August. Please make a move by noon so we can start to clean up the place 🙂
See you there!
- What to bring
- a tent (if you plan to camp)
- a sleeping bag/blanket (the yurts have mattresses and pillows but that’s all.
- comfortable clothes that you can stretch and dance in
- a towel
- a sarong to wrap around yourself
- a torch
- some warm clothes just in case
- an umbrella (great for when we’re eating lunch in the full sun)
- a toothbrush
- a couple of empty water bottles
- some hand sanitiser
- a plate, spoon and cup (otherwise you won’t eat anything!)
- Insect repellent (even if you don’t normally use it. There can be quite some ticks in the forest)
- tick tweezers
- paper and pen
- a good sense of humour
- musical instruments
- clothes, make up or costume to dress up for the closing ceremony
What not to bring
- alcohol (this will be an alcohol-free event – please respect this!)
- drugs (same as above!) – even ‘natural’ ones, ‘medicines’ or anything else that gets you high. Caffeine is the only one we accept.
- dogs – sorry, it just makes for a much calmer festival this way
- people who haven’t booked a place (space is limited so everyone must book on the website)
- candles – yes, they’re beautiful but they start fires so they’re strictly forbidden!
- belief systems – we don’t mind if you’re a Christian/Buddhist/Communist etc but the festival is really not the place to talk about it. We want to keep the festival as a neutral space where everyone can feel welcome. That goes for conspiracy theories, too,
- addiction to the internet and your phone. We ask you not to use your mobile phone within the festival area so we can focus and be with each other. You can go for a short walk in the forest if you need to call someone. Otherwise it’s a phone-free event with no cameras either.
- amplified music and speakers. It’s an acoustic festival 🙂
- children. Only people over the age of 18 may come.
How the festival works
There will be a big board with all the workshops on it for the day, letting you know which activities will be going and in which place. If you want to run a workshop or run an activity you just write it on the board!
The program will look something like this:
8 am – yoga
9-9.45 – breakfast
9.30-10.15 – support pods
10.30 – 12.30 – first workshop
1 pm – lunch time, listen for the shout of “Food Circle!”
3 pm – third workshop
5 pm – fourth workshop
7.pm – dinner
evening – music, storytelling, games, talks, who knows?
If you want to run a workshop then you should bring the materials you need and plan for it to last around an hour and a half. There will be several possible locations where you can make it – you can decide when you arrive!
