Welcome!
Dear Friends, you are welcome to the next festival of Space of Joy Community, which will take place in Karelia, the magic land of the North Russia!
We invite you to share the unique expirience at the Pellotsaari Island in the Lagoda Lake in a special time of the august full moon!
From 19 to 24 of August 2010
Karelia.
According to the legends the whole of Karelia is the Place of Power – energies are fully awake and strong here. This area is connected with active cosmic streams.
This is also where large cosmic bodies are known to have fallen.
Northern Paradise, Motherland of Humanity, Hyperborea.
Here we can dig into the deepest levels of time – time when the humans and Nature lived together.
Here you can discover your hidden potential, discover yourself in this world and be recognized by the others and the Universe. Every action finds its sense and fullness, and altogether they create the power that nourishes our Mother-Nature.
North Ladoga.
Very long time ago the lake Ladoga was called Nevo. In Karelian language nevvuo means “to advice, to give the knowledge”, nevvo - “teach”, nevvoi — “master, adviser, the one who shares the knowledge”..
Ancient Saami legends refer to this area as the source of life and the birth place of the World.
