Maranya Fest 2022

Our little festival continues in 2022 when we returned to the farm at WildLab for an epic weekend of permaculture, nature and dancing!

Maranya 2022

 

On June 24th we were back on site at the incredible WildLab farm in Bigues i Riells, arriving in the heat, crammed into the back of Matteo’s party van to set up camp for Maranya 2022. 

 

At the heart of the weekend was our desire to share with you the opportunity to be in nature and to feel our connection with it whilst exploring living permaculture. We had the chance to spend a weekend experiencing community living, sharing and dancing each night in the dome. Beginning our days long after the rooster’s crows, stepping out into the warmth of the sun and sounds of the surrounding forest. 

We started Saturday morning with a yoga session which the chickens crept into, meditating and moving our bodies in the morning, and then exploring the offerings that our participants had to share.

The permaculture games hosted by Anna and Juanjo brought out our childlike joy, curiosity and wildly entertaining improv performances from everyone that took part.  The vital discussions about soil and food preservation that took place in Sam’s workshops inspired and moved us into new ways of thinking about how we understand and interact with our environment, how we manage our time to create freedom and how we can live in abundance.

We loved the organic flow of skillshares and pop up workshops brought to us: Vadim brought us tea tasting, and brewed pots of tea at just the right times.  A Contact Jam movement session from Yuri. Michela shared her passion for reflexology and holistic healing and the gift of healing massages. Valeria set the scene with a gentle, introspective and interactive self-care workshop to bring us home into ourselves on Sunday morning.

 

A huge special, sparkling shout out for the team of volunteers (Andreea, Ines, Valeria, Luca and Yuri) who supported the event and helped us hold the entire weekend together.

This year saw us running on very Spanish time with a few more obstacles than we could have planned for which had the team stretched whilst we worked to deliver delicious vegetarian meals to the people. We ate well, locally sourced and organic and had plenty of poolside chilling before the music started. 

My personal favourite part of Maranya is the music, the dancing and the annual appearance of my tiger suit. The line up was very HOT. Thank you so much to our dear Ines, bringing some feminine energy to the team of DJ’s and huge thanks and love to all the DJ’s who got us dancing for hours and hours: Conxenxa, Mathz, Palladium, Son B2B Raul Naro and Just Luca.

 

And of course, thank you to each and everyone who came to our little festival! I hope that the magic of Maranya carried into the following days and continues to ripple through our lives. 

 

Much love.
