Mission in Sweden
To guide people on how to lead a happy and blissful life through meditation and Buddhism. Meditation teaches you good mental practices that can tremendously help you in everyday life. Sweden is known as a country with “Free life, high tax, and more suicide”. The freedoms and liberties enjoyed by Swedes have not made them happier people in certain ways. Meditation effectively calms your mind and settles your mood. It helps you realize what is truly important in life and helps you identify what has been going wrong in your life. Buddhist philosophy and meditation help you to find peace, contentment, and direction in life. It also transforms your life enabling you to achieve whatever positive goals you may want to achieve. Hence Buddhism and meditation provide solutions to people’s problems and everyone in the twenty-first century needs to learn about it. So, at the moment Bhante Satimanta lives in Helsingborg and traveling different places in Sweden and Europe and holds meditation courses and retreats, and delivers the Buddha's message. he is the president of the Helsingborg Buddhist Association and a committee member of Mångreligiösa Föreningen i Helsingborg and supports peace development among all the religious groups at Helsingborg.
Major issues in the western society
Many suffer unable to cope with stress and depression as they lack endurance and haven’t learned coping mechanisms. They suffer from constant panic attacks, status anxiety, and lack of satisfaction.
My Message
My motto is “When you heal your mind, you heal your body”. Your mentality and emotions affect your internal organs and your entire life. Therefore, your emotional health determines your physical health. I help and guide people to achieve deep levels of concentration. When you reach deeper levels of consciousness through meditation, it rewires your brain.

Conversations with Dream Authors
- Albin & Artur
.jpg)
"Dream Authors?" you might ask. Indeed, in both Albin's and Artur's debut novels, dreams play a pivotal role. Albin's book, 'The Dream Collector' ('Drömsamlaren'), and Artur's 'Jacob’s Ladder' ('Jacobs Stege'), weave narratives where dreams are not just figments of the imagination, but integral to the story's progression.
In 'The Dream Collector', readers are introduced to Gidoros, a deer spirit who shields people from dream eaters - malevolent entities that feast on nightmares and extinguish the spark of life. On the other hand, 'Jacob's Ladder' presents a journey of self-discovery where Jacob learns to merge his dream consciousness with his waking one. As he delves deeper, he realizes that the waking world is as fluid and malleable as the dream realms he navigates in his sleep.
Join Albin and Artur as they delve into selected passages from their respective books and engage in enlightening conversations with participants. This session is designed for those who wish to be momentarily transported into a magical dream world, as well as those intrigued by the art of writing.
Many harbor the dream of becoming a writer, but what does it truly entail to transform a book idea into a tangible reality? What steps must one undertake beyond just writing? This is your chance to pose these questions and more to two authors who have successfully navigated the journey. Both Albin and Artur write about what is often referred to as the hidden, the mysterious, or the otherworldly - subject areas that, to some, may not seem so distant or alien, but rather, part of their immediate experience.

Sw Anand Vigyan

Vigyan is what could be considered a proper old-schooler. He has been on the journey of life since 1957 and received his name from Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh, later known as Osho, in Pune, India on the 18th of February 1981.
He lives with his wife Savita and their daughter Stella, their former Portuguese stray dog Oscar, Vishnu the cat, and Nils-Poppe the rabbit in the countryside of Sweden where they are raising chickens and growing their own food. He spends most of his free time looking after his garden and his animals, but when responsibility permits, he turns on his loop station and brings out his guitar to compose hymns and melodies in tribute to the qualities which he holds dear, namely unity, respect and siblinghood.
Some of Vigyans music, such as the well-known “I Am A Human Being” can be heard on >Spotify<
Vigyan is a maker and artist making everything from jewelry, hen houses, human houses, tools and drums
He has a deep interest and passion for nature and the human connection with life.
For the last twenty years, Vigyan has developed the Dreamweaver, which is a ceremony of friendship, gratitude and community. It is a co-creation guided by music and the medicine wheel, which is an ancient technology for connecting to the reality of oneness.
Out of the Dreamweaver has grown the Earth Life Mapping (ELM), which is a tool to translate the medicine wheel into a new story about who and what we are.
The ELM asks us three pivotal questions which are; Who am I? What Am I? and Where Am I?
By answering these three questions the explorer will be able to navigate their world in a new way, recognizing the fact that; we are not here to take care of ourselves, but to take care of that which takes care of us, guided by gratitude and friendship.
Vigyan has been guiding Sweat lodges for over 30 years. His involvement in facilitating lodges happened very naturally. He does not carry any culture-specific tradition but has been developing his own way of working with the lodge, which he calls the Dream Lodge, which is directly connected to the Dreamweaver ceremony.
The Sweat lodge in Vigyans understanding is a profound technology that helps us to strengthen our connection to the living earth community and all its helpers in the spirit world, it is a place for healing and prayer.
Belly dancing with Razan

Razan found her passion for belly dancing over 10 years ago. More recently, she began to explore the spiritual aspect of dance. "Dance is like a tool to end up here and now and to get to know your body", she says.
"In belly dancing there is a lot of hip and chest shaking and by shaking we release a lot of emotions", says Razan. "Through dance, I also find it easier to get in touch with my femininity and sensuality and it is these aspects that I love to share at workshops. Elements of flow, the fast shakes to rhythmic darbuka drum beats and slow soft oriental movements to the violin are what characterize my workshops."
Yoga with Emmelie

As long as she can remember, movement has been a significant part of Emmelie's life, serving as a crucial tool for processing the ups and downs of life. With a background in dance, gymnastics, handball, and kickboxing, it was yoga that she fell for when it entered her life nearly 10 years ago. It introduced her to conscious movement on a new level, touching the sacred and artistic aspects of movement. Emmelie has been trained in and taught several forms of yoga such as hatha, vinyasa, yin, and Embodied Flow yoga, and also uses nervous system regulation as one of her tools in her own practice.
With experience in several different yoga styles and without following a specific lineage, it has become clear to Emmelie that it's not the style or form that matters. It's the yoga; connecting with the moment and all that it entails. What is true, open, and accessible, right now. In movement. Her yoga is characterized by the trust that the body finds its own form, regardless of the external form you are guided into on the mat, it's your body that knows. And that's where the important listening and sensing comes in. It's your experience on the mat, but we all move together, usually to some music or a specific theme we explore, philosophically and somatically.
During the festival, she will invite you to a nice, soft, flowing class focusing on one of the aspects of the Goddess.
Vedic Fire Ceremony with Karunamayi

Karunamayi has undergone sannyas training in India and has experience from being involved in creating over 500 Vedic fire ceremonies known as havan. To open the festival, all participants will be invited to participate in the fire ceremony to create a common power field for the festival. During the ceremony, we sing mantras and sacrifice healing herbs that give a healing smoke. We give our thoughts, feelings, and actions to be transformed in the fire in the middle that represents the fifth element, ether. It is a way to purify and balance our energy field and the energy in nature around us. By sacrificing different ingredients, we symbolically practice sacrificing and surrendering different parts of ourselves to something bigger. So that we can more easily see and meet ourselves, our children, sisters, and brothers! As part of our children's program, the children will learn about the ceremony and they will hold their own havan together. It usually becomes very enthusiastic!
Yoga with Maryam Moezzi

Maryam Moezzi was born in Iran and raised in Norway. Dance was a big part of her passion at an early age which led her to find yoga. She found the yoga practice as a more whole practice for all of her being, helping her to connect to her heart and her spirit. Already at the age of 18 she had a consistent yoga practice, and now she has integrated all aspects of yoga into her life.
Recently she moved back to Oslo, after 10 years of traveling the world as a working yoga teacher in India, Spain, Mexico and The United States. She has immersed herself in yoga studies at several recognized international yoga schools. In Spain she worked at Comunidad Om Shanti, certifying yoga instructors. She has also lived and studied yoga in India for half a year with Indian yoga teachers and Gurus. In Maryam's yoga classes she teaches traditional Indian yoga, taking you on a journey where you find strength, relaxation and peace within.
A curiosity about yoga philosophy arose early in Maryam, which made her want to learn more about how it is practiced. Therefore, in 2022 she went to Rishikesh, India, where she lived with the monks and dived into the traditional yoga lifestyle in an Hindu monastery (Ashram).
Maryam will share various types of yoga classes on the festival. One of them will be the cocreated Yin yoga with live music together with Romina Tidoni.

More recently, she has guided care ceremonies for women. It is a three-hour individual program whose purpose is to help women immerse themselves in a pure, beautiful state of feminine fullness and happiness, to take root in it. Many say they feel calm and safe in Irina's presence.
To be in such a state, it helps her a lot to dance the Mandala.
Mandala dance is a deep practice for energy, the body and consciousness that
combines dance movements, breathing and attention. The dance brings one back to one
conscious stay in one's body and to a connection with our sacred organs, rooted in the earth.
For Irina, the Mandala Dance is also a great aesthetic pleasure that provides a deep calm and connection with the body, thoughts, feelings, fullness and joy.
“I want to share this practice with all women who want to wake up or regain the joy of being in a female body and love themselves. Let's unite and widen our circle of female power."

Like the strings of an instrument.
The fantastic thing about this method is that you can detect imbalances at an early stage and thus reverse the negative spiral in time. Bioresonance as a measurement method can show phenomena that are completely impossible to see in blood samples.
And if it is the case that you have many different symptoms and perhaps some diffuse problems, you can use this method with advantage to see where you should focus and start helping the body's fantastic functions to heal itself.
Heléne addresses those who have imbalances in the body in which you want to start self-healing and offers sessions of 45 minutes for SEK 400.

She has been in India and Nepal at different ashrams, and monasteries learning from different teachers.
Currently living in Mexico she is now travelling around Europe sharing the practice of Bhakti.
Since 2015 she started guiding Kirtans and each time she fell more and more in love with the practice and continued to share it through the years.
Mantra chanting is the most direct way to open the heart and connect with the infinite potential that resides in each of us.
It helps us to feel the unity and the unconditional love that is our deep true Self.
As we gather together to share our voices, our energies melt with each other and we create a unique experience of love and connection with our divine energies.
Kirtan is the practice of singing mantras together. The repetition of mantras helps our mind to naturally fall into a state of quietness and stillness. When we sing we connect with different aspects of the divine energy within us. Using our voice to express ourselves fully helps us to release the blockages we might have in our throat chakra, the chakra of communication. It´s not the practice of singing beautifully, it´s the practice of singing wholeheartedly. With the intention of connecting with the light and the love within us, we open up to connect with the light of others.

Yin Yoga is a sensational practice. As the postures are held longer, the focus is on feeling the sensations in the body. Physically its aim is to target the yin tissues of the body (tendons, ligaments, capsules and fascia), in a yin way, which means, soft and held longer in time. Mentally invites you to be present with whatever arises, and to overcome the resistance as you melt more and more into the posture.
To make the practice more colorful I share live music with mantras, which helps to create an atmosphere of tranquility and self-love.
The music brings your mind to the present moment over and over again, and you'll see that time flies, and you want to stay in the poses even longer!
Yin Yoga with live music will be shared together with Yoga teacher Maryam Moezzi.
