Get your ticket now – in your own tent/camper or in the castle room
The ticket for 130 euros gives you access to over 50 events and all concerts over four days.
There are enough spaces for tents and campers in the park of the moated castle Kasteel de Berckt and there are around 450 beds in shared, double and single rooms in the two buildings.
Three nights in your own tent/camper including vegan or vegetarian full board and drinks (except drinks at the bar) costs 250 euros, in rooms from 280 euros.
The ticket can only be booked together with the overnight stay.
If you cannot come to the festival due to illness or other reasons, the ticket will not be refunded, but you can resell your ticket with information to us and details of the replacement person.
We were able to win over the Mampfmobil for the vegetarian and vegan meals. It sees itself as an open project for food supply on a fair and ecological basis.
«We are a kitchen with people with a lot of experience in logistics and food preparation for large groups, but not a caterer. The basis of our work and philosophy in terms of nutrition lies in local resistance cooking from the ’80s.»
The regional ingredients come from farms in the area around the festival location. The focus is on stimulating community spirit. All participants contribute two hours of kitchen work to the preparation. More information.
Any intolerances or dietary requirements can be mentioned when booking your ticket and the kitchen team will be happy to cater to them.
Children up to the age of 12 in their parents’ tent/camper can take part for 50 Euro. For young people up to the age of 18, there is a discount of 30 Euros.
The extensive water-rich grounds and the winding buildings offer children plenty of variety, but also hazards, especially for smaller children. The responsibility lies with the parents or legal guardians: Parents are liable for their children!
On Friday and Saturday there are limited places for childcare for 3 to 7 year olds during the lectures and workshops from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. and 3 p.m. to 5 p.m.
You are also welcome to make a donation to support the festival and people on a tight budget.
Or give your loved ones a donation as a share in world peace for Christmas or their birthday: More information

The rooms in the castle building are simply furnished and exude a cozy atmosphere with old walls and lots of wood.
Many of the rooms in the Manorhouse are originally and imaginatively decorated with paintings.
In shared rooms, there are single beds and sometimes bunk beds.
All rooms are equipped with shower, WC and washbasin. Bed linen and towels are included.
Do I need a single room? Jeet’s column gives you the answer.
MATRIARCHY LIVES
»The earth plays an important role. It gives us food and is a gift from Sibú, our God. For us, the earth represents the woman. In our culture, as a woman, I am the head of the clan and the owner of the land. I inherit it from my mother and pass it on to my daughters.«
Priska, 2022 (Bribri, Talamanca, Costa Rica)
Quote from a woman in today’s matriarchal society.
The photo books «Matriarchs» 1 + 2 with many pictures and information are available on Maria Haas’ website.
HONORING THE ANCESTORS
Everything is structured via the mother line: The succession, the economy, politics, the social structure, religion, the understanding of nature. The human and the cosmic mother, the animal mother and the earth mother, they all give life and the means to live. In the spiritual-religious sphere, this leads to the veneration of the deceased generations. Without the ancestors, there is no survival, because the central world view is based on the belief in reincarnation. As can be seen from observing nature, all life returns cyclically. After the winter break, the plants sprout in spring and it’s the same with people. After a certain time in the world of the dead, they are reborn. This is very specific to your own clan.
