​

The Sáráhkkás Sámi Indigenous Festival is a place where people across cultures meet, with the human place of meeting being the heart. 

 

Sáráhkká is the Sámi goddess of love and fertility. She kindles the fire in your heart to help you get in touch with your own powers of love, and with your consciousness. This kindling results in what you carry and what you "give birth to" — what you bring into this world.

 

Sáráhkká is closely related to the creation of animals and humans. By focusing on her power we gain focus on the good power which is inherent to us all. In this way we gain harmony with Mother Earth, animals, plants, and all life associated with creation and production. We then create a life that is in harmony with ecological consciousness, so that we can live in line with the values of nature.

 

How does today's modern man experience nature? What about our own inner nature when met with the outer environment?

 

At the Sáráhkkás Festival you can share your experiences with others. Here, you will get the opportunity to create, bring joy, or just exist in the moment.

 

There will be music, workshops, shops, ecological food, stories, seminars, entertainment, and talks.

 

At the festival you will have the opportunity to visit exciting exhibitors from Norway, Sápmi, and other traditions from other countries — everything shamans, performers, and artists.
