AWARENESS, GRATITUDE & JOY
Photos from the 2009 festival.
Welcome to this unique and colorful event - the largest alternative festival in Northern Europe.
Imagine if the world was a place where we nurtured ourselves and one another. What would that be like? Imagine if we all chose to be grateful and in allowance of ourselves and what is going on around us?
What change would that do to the world?
Come to Ängsbacka and explore the possibilities of life, what is really going on for you and who you could choose to be. Experience the contrast between stillness and ecstasy, dwell in meetings with nature and people, find both new and old friends.
The festival gives you the possibility to experience the joy, the creativity, the love and the beauty which is here, in each and every one of us now.
The theme for this year’s No Mind Festival is Awareness, Gratefulness & Joy. What would it take for this festival to open up the doors to more of that in your life than you have ever imagined?
It’s an amazing festival filled with music, song, & dance as well as inspiring workshops on:
• Love
• Awakening
• Meditation
• Ceremonies
• Relationship
• Yoga
• Raw Food
• Communication
• Body Sexuality
• Satsang
• Being
• Creativity
• Healing
• Dancing
• Singing
• Oneness
...etc
But it’s not only workshops…
The No Mind Festival area is stunning - surrounded by beautiful nature - and whenever you have the mood for it, you can lie in the green grass, have a caffe latte and a delicious cake in the café. In the evening you can sing and play instruments in front of the big fire. One of the most popuular things at the festival is the sharing groups that meet once a day.
No Mind is an international festival, hosting around 1000 people each year. World known artists and workshop leaders as well as local talents offer wonderful concerts and workshops throughout the week. The food served is completely vegetarian and always includes two hot dishes and a delicious salad buffet.
There are also a children’s festival, parents and babies and a youth festival.
Healing Circle
The Healing Circle at the No Mind Festival offers a diverse and highly professional range of therapies to participants. With an often exotic range of bodywork, energy work, healing and counselling, participants are always delighted with the care, love and experience they discover in the Healing Circle.

Families!
The No Mind Festival has always been popular among parents and children. Here the family has an opportunity to socialize with each other and other families in a new way, in a relaxed and safe environment. The family receives a much-needed break from everyday routines and stress, and has the opportunity to get to know new sides of each other.
This year Ängsbacka offers even more to families! We will provide preschool in the mornings for children 3-7 years, and organized activities for children 8 - 12. A safe place where parents can leave their children while they attend workshops and take care of themselves for a few hours.
During the afternoon the childrens festival will offer exciting activities and workshops where it is suitable for parents to participate together with their children. An opportunity to come closer to each other in a whole new way as a family, learn more about one another, deepen the connectivity, and above all: have fun together!
As usual, of course, the childrens camp area is open to all children and parents to hang out in playing, painting, singing, reading stories, tumbling in the grass, making new friends and everything else that belongs to the festival week.
Youth Activities
Youth , 13 -18 years, have their own festival within the festival with the opportunity to just be, hang out with new and old friends, be creative and talk about big and small issues. Through various exercises and workshops, we create togetherness and an opportunity for personal growth.
A festival not to be missed!
What would it take to se you there?
Most Welcome!
