Loodud energia ja sรผdameruum olid nii vรตimsad, et isegi ilma vรตlusime kรตigist ennustustest hoolimata pidevalt pรคikseliseks! ๐
Nende nelja pรคeva jooksul sรผndis sadu kallistusi, lugematul hulgal sรผdamest sรผdamesse vestlusi, uusi sรตprussuhteid, rรตรตmsaid taaskohtumisi, avanemisi, taipamisi, naeru, pisaraid, tantsu, laulmist nii saalis kui saunalavadel, vaikust, mรคngu, inspiratsiooni ja mis kรตige tรคhtsam โ julgust olla pรคriselt sina ise.

Ruumi, kus oli turvaline avada oma sรผda. Kus inimesed tundsid, et neid nรคhakse, kuulatakse ja vรตetakse vastu just sellisena, nagu nad on. Kus vรตis korraks unustada kรตik selle, mis maailmas praegu toimub, ning kogeda hoopis seda, kui palju headust, hoolivust ja รผhendust on inimeste vahel vรตimalik luua.

Need sรตnad puudutavad meid sรผgavalt. Need tuletavad meile meelde, miks me seda festivali loome ja miks selliseid kohti on tรคna ehk rohkem vaja kui kunagi varem.

Eesti Ta**rafestival sรผnnib igal aastal tรคnu inimestele, kes julgevad tulla kohale, avada oma sรผdame ja luua koos midagi suuremat kui nad รผksi suudaksid.
Ja kui sa sel aastal meiega ei jรตudnud liituda, siis loodame sรผdamest, et kohtume jรคrgmisel suvel. ๐
Loodame, et killuke sellest pehmusest, julgusest, รผhendusest ja elurรตรตmust jรครคb osalejate sรผdametesse veel kauaks ning kannab neid ka igapรคevaelus.

PS! Eesti Ta**rafestival on kaameravaba festival, et kรตik saaksid end turvaliselt tunda ja tรคielikult kohal olla. Seetรตttu on jagatud fotod ja videod tehtud kokkuleppel peamiselt festivali avaรตhtul (nรคiteks imelise Tritha kontserdi ajal), samuti tagantvaates, tuttavatest nรคgudest ja esinejatest (sh Merit Raju ja Tauri Vahesaare avashow), ning festivali ettevalmistuse ja kokkupakkimise ajal.

The energy and heart space we created together were so powerful that we somehow kept turning the weather sunny despite every forecast! ๐
Over these four days, hundreds of hugs were shared, countless heart-to-heart conversations unfolded, new friendships were born, old friends reunited, hearts opened, insights emerged, there was laughter, tears, dancing, singing in the workshop halls and around the sauna, moments of silence, playfulness, inspiration and, most importantly, the courage to truly be yourself.

A space where it felt safe to open your heart. Where people felt seen, heard and accepted exactly as they are. A space where, for a little while, we could forget everything happening in the world and simply experience how much kindness, care and genuine human connection is possible.

The Estonian Ta**ra Festival comes to life each year thanks to people who dare to show up, open their hearts and create something greater together than any of us could create alone.
And if you couldn't join us this year, we truly hope we'll meet you next summer. ๐
We hope that a little piece of the softness, courage, connection and joy we shared will stay with everyone who was there and continue to accompany you in everyday life.

P.S. The Estonian Ta**ra Festival is a camera-free festival, allowing everyone to feel safe and fully present. For this reason, the photos and videos we share were taken with permission, mainly during the opening evening (including the beautiful concert by Tritha), from behind, featuring familiar faces and facilitators (such as the opening performance by Merit Raju & Tauri Vahesaar), as well as during the festival setup and pack-down.
