No Mind Festival

The No Mind Festival is an annual alternative festival that has taken place in Ängsbacka, Sweden each summer since 1997 and is sometimes referred to as Ängsbacka's Glastonbury.[1] Its roots are drawn from the No Mind philosophy of Osho, the Indian mystic who popularized No Mind meditation. It is counted amongst the largest alternative festivals in Europe [2] and regularly attracts around 1,000 participants.

The festival usually takes place in early July and lasts for seven days. It is strictly a drug and alcohol-free event [3] and includes a 'festival within a festival' for participants under 18.[4] It regularly attracts workshops leaders of note from the international spiritual community, such as Byron Katie,[1] The Little Grandmother [5] and Ram Dass.[1]

This festival was the focus of the 2008 documentary Three Miles North of Molkom.
