Join us for a magnificent celebration in the heights of the Bürnük in the Central Anatolian region of Bolu for the Ayata Festival!

Dedicated to the theme of Anatolian Shamanism, the festival takes place from 8 until 11 September 2017.

Ayata festival pays homage to the Sun God, Ay Ata - the beloved of the Sun Goddess, Gun Ana - and has been Inspired by the intense beauty and spirit of this sacred, natural location.

So as Turkish mythology meets an electronic underground of visionary music, we pay our respects to the spirit of the ancient civilizations of Anatolia... Explored by archaeologists, historians, and anthropologists, it is a place where shamanism and Tangrism is a practice that is continued even today.

The festival unites local music, art, performance and culture with the pulse of the psychedelic music scene. And as we welcome a global roster of producers, DJs, and visual artists - we celebrate our shamanic roots, which have grown and evolved from Middle Asia to Anatolia.

We will meet at the highest peak of northern Turkey, in the region of Bolu - where ancient civilizations walked with the spirit of the Moon God and the Sun Goddess. At 1,294 meters above sea level, we will celebrate in the heights of the Sirinyazi Lake, in the heart of the village of Bürnük - named after the fresh spring water that flows through its contours. With its fairy tale trees, wild flowers and emerald waters of the Sirinyazi Lake - this is a sacred paradise revealing the mystical side of Mother Nature.

So welcome home dear friends! And join us for this natural symphony... Be enlightened by the energy of this fascinating landscape; invoke higher realms of consciousness and feel inspired by the history, knowledge and culture held by this sacred land where Ayata takes place. Let's celebrate our time together!
