The flag is based on the 1969 proposal by J. McConnell designed to celebrate the Earth Day. It has a round hole in the place where the Earth image should be. The sky that can be seen in the cutout resembles the Earth observed from the space. Instead of the unchanging picture, the flag is always different depending on the weather, reminding us of the fragility of the natural systems, which we, as mandkind, have disturbed. → read more

The first ecumenical mass took place at Pohoda in 2010, partly as a response to the collapse of the tent. We were actually planning on doing it a long time before, and Anton Srholec helped us make it true. The tenth ecumenical mass at Pohoda will be dedicated to all those who were impacted by the misfortune in 2009, it will be a remembrance of both Martin Kašák and Nikolka Kapková, and also a reflection of people who have been part of Pohoda: António, Juraj Kušnierik, and Marián Varga. The meditations will be presented by Anna Polcková, Daniel Pastirčák, and Róbert Bezák. The theme will be the liberation of a woman, the story of Mary and Martha. Mary sits among the disciples (where she “is not supposed to”), she takes on the male disciple role, while Martha serves disciples and performs the “traditional” role of a woman. → read more

The festival uses the energy from the electric grid, generators, and solar power. We aim to reduce the amount of generators as much as possible, and, thanks to the cooperation with ZSE, we are able to do so by building temporary transformer stations. As a result, we cover up to 40% of the energy used at the festival from the fixed power distribution. In addition, ZSE helps us to lighten up the main festival areas with solar lamps. → read more
