The unifying creative festival ‘Planet of Love’, which took place in July in the kin’s settlement Svetorusie in the Sverdlovsk region, was a bright event that brought together participants of different ages, nationalities, and professions. The main idea of the festival was the opportunity to immerse oneself in the atmosphere of freedom, return to childhood, and enjoy time spent without gadgets, in peace and harmony with nature.
For many festival participants, the opportunity to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city and technology was a real adventure. The break from the digital world, the opportunity to enjoy nature and immerse themselves in creative activities allowed each participant to take a fresh look at their lives and values.

There was a different program for each age group of participants. For example, a special children's program was organized for the youngest participants, filled with a variety of activities: nature games, neurogymnastics, sculpting with natural materials, learning foreign languages, and various quests.

Teenagers, as an independent age group, had the opportunity to immerse themselves in interesting and educational activities. They practiced neurography, listened to lectures, studied acting and learned to play musical instruments.
 |
A separate program was also developed for adult participants of the festival, taking into account their interests and needs. It included lectures on Chinese medicine, contact improvisation, fairs, body workshops for women, and even laughter therapy!

One of the most memorable events of the “Planet of Love” was the Ivan Kupala celebration, which concluded the festival. It is dedicated to the summer solstice and the blossoming of nature.

The celebration of Ivan Kupala has many traditions and customs that have been passed down from generation to generation. One of the symbols of this holiday is bathing in open water, as well as collecting herbs and flowers.

An important attribute of the holiday is a bonfire, around which people gather to hold rituals, perform songs, and dances.
