🏢 About the local organisation
Bedepuszta is a remote village in Northern Hungary, on a dead-end road in a beautiful valley, where you can walk through forests and fields for hours, without seeing any buildings or meeting any people. Still Bedepuszta is more than an idyllic place, its also an ecological and cultural project. The Great Yonder is a festival, a retreat and an inspiring holiday, taking place in a fairytale-like location, where artists have the freedom to make the music they want to make, and where guests can enjoy nature and space to their hearts content. A true party, without sponsors and a maximum of 300 visitors, with readings by inspiring speakers, qi gong and yoga classes, games and activities. The host is a Dutch-Hungarian organization, who is turning the little abandoned village into a cultural hub in the countryside using only green solutions. The festival is just a part of a bigger project and they can use all the help they can get. https://thegreatyonder.eu/
