WHO WE ARE AND WHAT WE BELIEVE IN ?

BEGLIKA FEST is getting ready for its eight rejuvenation. Originated in 2008, it has gained wide reach and international popularity. Knowledge and experience collected over the years had positioned the festival as a unique amalgamation of well-being activities, space for mindful dialogues and innovative idea generation, scene for alternative artistic expression, all embraced in the pure natural playground of the lush green valleys, the pine forest of wisdom and the early-morning mists over the lake and its secluded islands.

By impersonating a lively cultural and artistic body the festival has shaped a value-centered community of positive change-agents guided by the rationality of the harmonious communication between people and their surrounding environment. This rationality bears a high level of consciousness incorporated within the festival program and centered around the idea of life-long learning, responsible resource consumption and preservation of cultural (traditions), social (personal development) and natural capital through proclaiming mindful behavior, new forms of exchange and value creation.

A fundamental pillar of BEGLIKA FEST’s value system focuses on safeguarding the delicate natural habitat by following the underlying principle of “leave-no-footprint” and echoing natural wisdom. An integrated environmental strategy tackles waste management streams, energy and resource consumption focusing on their optimal prevention as a first step. The festival has been distinguished as for its unique quest of running solely on bio fuel energy and moonlight. In 2015 a novel deposit policy on dishware was implemented to influence partners’ sustainability consciousness and further shape a stronger community involvement to the mission of zero waste.

WHERE WE COME FROM?

The past 7th edition of BEGLIKA FEST 2015 was centered on the concept of co-creation within a three dimensional model CREATE|PLAY|BE of Arts & Performance, Music and Discussion panels. The center was the individual himself as a bearer of an unlimited potential and freedom as well as responsibility. CREATE was represented by more than a hundred participants who formed a vibrant creative aRthmosphere of open spirit and freely flowing inspirational fluxes. Every single artisan made an open workshop devoting guests into his craft and inviting them to co-create and share. PLAY Apart from the main stage line-up and a unique clay stage on a tree, an acoustic stage was set up as a free platform for emerging music talent. BE represesnted a carefully selected and prepared series of workshops from leading knowledge-holders in various contemporary themes like education, alternative economic systems, enlightment practices, permaculture knowledge sharing and environmental safeguarding.

WHERE ARE WE GOING TO?

The upcoming, eight edition of BEGLIKA FEST (25th – 29th August) affirms its position as a welcoming platform for knowledge, experience and skill sharing, where each guest is immersed in the happening. The August summer days are calling through the chant of the Rhodopa mountain and the mystic blue waters of the lake. They whisper legends of a mighty key unlocking the secrets of human nature, sunk in the lake’s deep bottom and waiting to be awaken…

| KEYS TO HUMAN NATURE

Creativity, playfulness, responsibility to ourselves and to the nature, are leading us to this place of our minds called “awakening". Awakening for us, for the others, for the reality, so we could be a conscious part of this reality.

BEGLIKA FEST is grateful to all supporters and volunteers that have made it all come true during the years. You are the reason and the drive for the festival to keep rejuvenating around the mountainous lake and sharing the magical experiences together. Therefore, you – the one we already know as part of the Beglika community or you – the one we still haven’t met, all of you
