Here are some reviews which speak for themselves:

​

"Events were appropriately selected, prepared and well executed and loved that there was a choice of events to attend. Temenos is so beautiful and the Wisdom House can allow more space for events. Lunch under the trees was exceptional. The team displayed organizational skills to be proud of. Loved every minute of it and definitely not a festival to miss. Well done!"

​

"The festival was a wonderful experience. A rich tapestry of so many soulful offerings. So well organized - beautiful venues and amazing facilitators. Thank you Anja and Harold for this, my third SAMAD festival. My heart and soul feel so nourished and blessed."

​

"Dear Anja, Harold and committed team of volunteers 

I have only gratitude and admiration for what you’ve so beautifully designed and pulled off successfully. Every event I attended was healing, honest and a joy. So many sessions I didn’t get round to, and hope to next time, God willing. 

Thank you for every attendee’s beauty, skill and presence "🙏

"Thanks to all who co-created to make another magical SAMAD fest manifest this year. It's always so deeply nourishing on all levels. And Such a beautiful community of souls who come together for it. The venues were all so special as well. Thanks to all the hard work and organising that went on behind the scene. That allowed everything to flow. It felt really spacious this year. And what a privilege to share and facilitate my greatest joy and gifts of music and dance. May we keep this vision alive, and keep coming back to more circles of sacred healing arts."

​

"Every event that I attended was nourishing and healing.

The festival exceeded my expectations.

Huge gratitude to Harold and Anja for holding this vision steady and to each of the presenters for making it so special. 

Likewise to the beautiful Beings whose attendance  completed the cycle of giving and receiving."

​

"Deep gratitude. What a truly beautiful and soul-nourishing experience this festival has been — a celebration of peace, dance, music, and connection.

Thank you to all the amazing souls who joined me for the Laughter Flow session — your openness, smiles and shared laughter and hugs made my heart burst with joy. Deep gratitude to the incredible humans, especially Anja and Harold, who created such a loving, seamless, and inspiring event, and to all the other facilitators, performers, creators, chefs and staff for sharing your gifts so generously. 

 

My heart is full. This gathering reminded me how powerful it is when we come together in unity, love, and light. Thank you for the magic we created together. 💫

 

May peace be with us, always. With love and gratitude"
