Anniina

Ahoi! Rauhaa ja Rakkautta – Olen Anniina Vertanen. Olen Art Director ja energiahoitaja, esiintyvä runoilija, luova kirjoittaja sekä meditaatiofasilitaattori. Festaritiimissä pääsen toteuttamaan tietotaitoani ja kutsumustehtäviäni inspiroivan moniulotteisesti, tänä vuonna taitoin festariohjelman ja pidän meditaatiotyöpajoja. Viisi vuotta sitten tutustuin näihin festareihin ja rakastuin heti. On ilo sekä kunnia olla osana tätä upeaa tiimiä, joka vuodesta toiseen tarjoaa kanssakulkijoilleen näin päräyttävän parantavaa elämystä. Vetäise rohkeasti helmasta, niin tutustutaan.

I’m Ria and responsible for hosting workshop spaces. My team is responsible of creating good flow for participants to join workshops and enjoy the festival fully. We support the workshop leaders so that the space is safe, beautiful and as planned. I’m mother, midwife and superwoman, who is endlessly inspired and delighted about life.

My name’s Wilhelm, I’m in charge of security and rescue operations for the festival as the chief of security. The role is that of the watchful mongoose in a pack, making sure the others can feel safe and are free to play and do their part. Security is co-created by identifying and respecting each others’ boundaries and needs, and occasionally helping those who have trouble doing so. Security and rescue team is a vital to the success of the event, and by being part of it one gets to see the festival from the community caretaker role. I’m always open to supporting our teams and community if you need to clarify something or just someone to reflect things with, and of course if you observe something that needs more attention. I’ve been a part of the festival since 2014, which has brought me immense sense of joy and community.

I’m Martta, and I’m part of the wonderful decoration team, here to conjure a visually soulful and cosy festival. I attended the festival first time in 2018, and last year you might have met me as I was selling my Solmusofia macrame products at Boutique Avenue. This year, I will bring the bohemian softness of macrame outside the stall as well.
