Hi there!
As some of you already know, we have changed the date of our summer festival. The Eofest 2022 will take place from August 11th to the 15th! We warmly invite you to come celebrate life with us.
Like every year, Eotopia opens its doors for an inclusive event 100% based on the gift economy so dear to us. You come as you are!
The program is defined by the participants, the food is brought and shared by everyone, the cooking is done collectively, as is the emptying of the dry toilets!
You are invited to come and set up your tent or your hammock on site and enjoy a little interlude to dream of a world that suits you.
This year, we have chosen a theme that resonates strongly with us: Enthusiasm!
Enthusiasm is a word that comes from the Greek and originally means “divine transport”. The dictionary defines it as “a powerful emotion that seizes one about someone or something”.
But for us, enthusiasm is mostly synonymous with life, with gratitude for being on this earth, surrounded by so many beautiful things, it is synonymous with celebrating and caring for what is, on all levels, emotional, spiritual, material.
So, Eofest 2022 will be about this intention and we invite you to come and share what makes you enthusiastic: games, writing, painting, music, yoga, psychology, astronomy, cooking, hide-and-seek, board games, debates, circus, theater, sack races, gardening, building, tinkering, endless discussions, meditations, internal or external exploration… This year we celebrate each other and everything that makes us happy.
Because for us, enthusiasm is an unlimited source of fuel that allows us to move forward, enjoy life and take care of ourselves. Join us in cultivating it!
