What Manas crew say about their festival:

Through thousands of years our shaman ancestors came to the realization that if we organize the calm frequency of nature into a monotonous, neatly comprehensible pulsating rhythm played on drums, then the state of flow that lies deep within all of us becomes more accessible, and we can fully arrive to the present moment. In this state of mind we become able to develop a soft and slow attention in which we can move and feel the entirerity of our whole self. At such times we breathe together with our traumas and with everything that are less and less accessible due to the noise of our rushing everydays. We connect to an internal axis, where our “higher self” receives better access to these forgotten realms inside us.

In such a state of conscious presence, we become our own healers.

“Manas” (Sanskrit for “mind”) is more accurately translated in Indian philosophy as the human “consciousness,” which receives the impressions of our senses and organizes them before they reach our waking consciousness. Following this ideology of the festival’s namesake, we embark on our mission to help bridge the gap between peak experience and everyday life.

Therefore, even within the festival area, we ensure that effective tools, a peaceful space and experienced helpers are available to everyone, in an environment where nature is protected with the same care as those who walk on it.

A journey, by the end of which it becomes clear that what we found was not a mystical miracle, but merely the present moment.
