The experience
What is Amanita?
Amanita is a 4- or 7-day experience in nature bringing together music, art, yoga, workshops, talks, performance, wellbeing practices and gathering spaces to share and connect as a community.
An invitation to step out of routine for a few days and dive into a world of experiences designed to send you home full of inspiration, with new tools and practices for your everyday life.
The Extended Experience
An invitation to live the 3 days before the festival begins. An intimate gathering focused on workshops, music, wellbeing practices, group activities and living together in nature. Learn more here.
What is the experience like?
At Amanita, everything happens at once:
You can dance, take a yoga class, rest, join a workshop, wander through art installations, share a meal, sit around the fire or simply let yourself be surprised by whatever appears along the way. There is no single way to live Amanita. Every experience is unique.
You don't need to have been to a festival like this, be used to camping, or do yoga or other practices. You just need to come with openness, curiosity and the wish to live something different.

The most common questions
These are some of the questions that come up most before coming. If you need more information, you can write to us or visit the full FAQ page.
What does my ticket include?
Your ticket includes access to the full festival program: music, workshops, yoga, art, ceremonies, and much more across 10+ stages and dedicated spaces. Showers and hot water for mate are included at no additional cost. Camping and all accommodation options are available separately and must be purchased independently. Parking and meals are not included.
Can I bring kids?
Yes, Amanita is an experience to be shared with the whole family. We offer children's tickets and dedicated spaces designed especially for kids, such as Dreamland and Guardians of the Forest, where they can play, explore, create, and experience the festival in their own way within a safe and welcoming environment.
Can I come just for one day?
At the moment, single-day tickets will not be available. Festival capacity is limited, and we prioritize those who choose to experience Amanita as a whole.
Is there food inside the festival?
Yes. Throughout the festival, you'll find a food court offering a wide variety of options, including healthy, vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free meals. There will also be a general store where you can purchase basic essentials.
Are there showers and bathrooms?
Yes. The festival grounds include restrooms and shower facilities located throughout the venue, so you can easily access them during your stay.
Does my ticket include the camping spot?
No, the ticket does not include the camping spot: it's purchased separately. The camping fee doesn't include camping gear or a tent either.
Can I sleep outside the venue?
You can stay outside the festival grounds without any problem: there are different accommodation options available nearby. However, we highly recommend staying on-site to fully experience Amanita. Amanita is an experience that unfolds throughout the entire day, with something always happening: a workshop, a talk, music, an unexpected connection, or a special moment around the fire. Once you’re there, you’ll want to be part of the full experience.
Do I need previous experience for classes and workshops?
No previous experience needed. The activities are open to all levels. You can take part in everything at your own pace. Some activities may have limited capacity depending on the space, so we recommend arriving a few minutes before each one starts.
Can I bring food?
You can bring snacks and some food. Cooking on site and bringing alcohol or glass bottles is not allowed. Inside there's a food court and a general store.
Is there wifi?
No. We invite you to use these days to disconnect from the routine, set aside digital distractions and fully connect with yourself, others and nature.
Can I make a fire?
No — for safety reasons fires are not allowed inside the venue. The festival's sacred fire is always burning, tended by the team.
Can I come alone?
Coming to Amanita on your own can be one of the most beautiful ways to experience the festival. If this is your case, we invite you to take the first step and join us solo. We truly believe it can become a transformative experience — a space to imagine new ways of connecting and living together in community. One of the most special parts of this type of festival is the community that emerges. When you arrive on your own, you open yourself up to connecting in a different way, meeting people who share your interests, your curiosity, and your desire to create authentic connections. At Amanita, connections happen naturally in every corner: during a workshop, a conversation, while listening to music, or simply sharing a moment with someone new. Trust the process and dare to step outside your comfort zone. You won’t regret it.

We want you to arrive at Amanita with peace of mind. If you still have questions after reading the guide, write to us and we'll get back to you as soon as possible.
