Ängsbacka Association meeting

Ängsbacka is a course and festival center focused on personal development, yoga, Tantra, dance, meditation, spirituality and self-expression.[1][2] It is located in Molkom, Sweden, and was started in 1996.[3]

The center hosts an average of eight festivals per year,[4][5] mainly during the summer. Although Ängsbacka's Tantra Festival is the largest in Sweden,[6] the No Mind Festival is the largest of the festivals with around a thousand participants.[5][7] Vegetarian food is served.[4][7]

It is registered as a not-for-profit organization[8] owned by members and is run in a large part by volunteers.

The course center and its No Mind Festival were the feature of the 2008 documentary Three Miles North of Molkom.[9][10][11]

More than one-fifth of the approximately 500 people who attended the Ängsbacka Tantra Festival in the last five days of July, 2021 developed confirmed COVID-19 infections.[12] Proof of a negative COVID-19 test was not required for entry, and most of those who developed infection had not been vaccinated.[12]
