The nice things people say…
“When I got home after three days, looked in the mirror and thought ‘Holy Shit! I look like I have had work done!’ It was nature’s facelift. Walks in nature, delicious healthy food, like-minded people, ice baths and ukulele lessons. I was there solo and it was a great experience; I never felt odd and was either able to join in or simply have time to myself. It is an event which respects the nature we are guested in, in all manner of details. The staff are warm and welcoming. Honestly, it was the weekend break I simply didn’t know I needed.”
— Lisa.
“A weekend where I fully recovered, doing things that are normally not available, fiddling around, playing ukulele, eating delicious food, staring into the distance and camping. And why shouldn't we do this more often?”
— Janneke.
“After driving through the emptiness of "De Polder" I arrived. Feeling a bit out of my comfort zone as I never pitched a tent before ever! Luckily there was help at the camping field ;-) I had an amazing weekend, made new friends, enjoyed the food and the beers. I woke up early to jump into an ice bath! And closed the bar at night. Count me in for next year!”
— Eric.
“Very inspiring and brilliant weekend to meet new like-minded people surrounded by nature with amazing food. Because of the small scale, the interaction is very easy. Therefore very suitable for discovering more on your own. I brought home many insights. Keep on going with the good vibes.”
— Nasja.
“Meaningful experiences together with special people as a source for new movements, changes and deep gratitude. Thanks for all, deep from my heart!”
— Dorothee.
“Gather wood, build a fire, stay up looking at the stars. Have a little wine and bring the like-minded souls around you closer. The sound of nature, the stories, the light and heat of the fire will help you, heal you and transform you. Thank you very much for your efforts to create this beautiful festival for change.”
— Harry.
“Campfire Stories is a truly special event. Every element – from site location and catering to line-up and hosting style – has been carefully considered to create a completely unique, inspiring and thought-provoking experience for all who attend. The festival programme is skilfully curated to inspire, challenge, encourage and nurture, while the festival site was designed to offer enough beauty and comfort to help people relax, whilst also providing an authentic outdoor experience.”
— Elle.
“We haven't attended another festival or event where there has been such a high level of congruence between the practical execution and the values the event is promoting. Case-in-point examples for us were the biodynamic milk at the tea station, and the biodegradable shampoo at the outdoor showers – the team go above and beyond to gently promote environmental awareness through their high-level of care and attention to all the details. If you are looking for a unique and beautifully curated festival experience that will help you connect to yourself, nature and the world around you in a meaningful way – then look no further, head to Campfire Stories.”
— Rupert.
“Had the most amazing weekend at Campfire stories – it felt like coming home. Met so many likeminded spirits and had amazing deep conversations. I’ve learned about foraging, healing your gut, writing a book and upped my primitive skills. And don’t even get me started on the food – it was an absolute feast every day and enough options for people with dietary restrictions and intolerances (like me). I almost can’t apprehend that I will have to wait a full year to go again!”
— Anniek.
“In a nutshell, I felt lighter after Campfire Stories. Within hours of arriving, perhaps even minutes, I started to feel my mind and body relax. All my stress melted away. And what’s more, I felt something I really needed but didn’t even realise – community. I was surrounded by likeminded people, each who had interesting stories to tell and perspectives to share. I came with friends, but I needn’t have. I spent a lot of time wandering around enjoying workshops by myself and deep in conversations with strangers-come-new-friends. Everything, from the campfires, to the talks, to the workshops, felt real and felt good. There was no pretence, no big egos – just great people sharing experiences, skills, stories and bloody incredible food. Big shout out to the kitchen team!”
— Rachel.
“It’s so hard to describe to others what a camping weekend like this can do for you, but I had extra energy and positive vibes from it for weeks after the event. Still now, if I think back, I feel warmth and a lovely feeling. We are whole in - and part of - nature and we sometimes forget that! At Campfire Stories, back to the essentials, you feel that. The great fire-cooked food and all inspiring workshops feed your body, mind and spirit 360. A whole weekend of love, community feel, real connection and focus on your own beat in nature. Learning, laughing, breathing, good stories and inspiration. A must feel for all humankind is not overselling it.”
