 Some highlights are:


Lets create a faebulous

Our community rooms are

the Faerie room in Café Ropp (from 5pm till late)  

or the Faerie Flat in the nearby Franzensgasse (for heart circles etc.)

and the Tour to our

Faerie Home in Linz (160 km near Vienna)

where we can relax also in the nearby „Water Wood“ and

the nudebeach @ weikerlsee

 We could meet and greet in the parks of Schönbrunn and on the Ring, visit the nudist beaches at the Danube island and in Linz

and meet in the legendary Viennese Prater or the Wasserwald in Linz.

On Wednesday June 10th we will have an Opening Ceremony

on Sunday a Picnic in Prater and

on Wednesday June 17th a Closing Ceremony in Linz.

We will open our hearts in heart circles and cuddle-puddles,

talk about our visions, a possible sanctuary and what we have in common.

In Vienna we sleep at home or in the houses of friends or in any accommodation of our choice.

(If you are looking for hostels, we can recommend Wombat’s Hostel Naschmarkt or you can rent some appartments near Naschmarkt http://www.theblueground.com)

After Vienna some of us will also play and relax in our new Faeríehouse (“Faeriecastle”) in Linz. If you know already if you want to come to Linz too, please let us know beforehand (10-15 faeries can join and sleep in the house or in tents in the garden). Together, we shall celebrate another little inauguration in this amazing place.

Till we all meet please think about what magic you want to bring to the week.

We’re calling the space for your expression to come forth.
