Our gathering will be the first one in Hungary that is only using bio-degradable cups, dishes and cutlery produced from lactic-acid. These food and drink packaging will be collected and composted on the spot, providing valuable soil for the garden by the next year. Our supporting partners are Vegware Ltd., the Polymer Departments of the […]
It was a great outdoor event, planted by the Solar United Natives in cooperation with the TesseracTstudio trance-botanic gardeners, held in a beautiful location in Serbia. We were all too busy enjoying the music and the great atmosphere, so dont’t have too many pics of the event. These few photos were taken by Jan and the main one by Boom Shankar […]
In times past, people were gathering around the fire, and this is not much different today: we do the same in the kitchen. We started to develop the summer kitchen from simple, renewable and natural materials found in the area. The establishment is based on Master Oszi’s experience and ours, being able to prepare the […]
Our community garden is ready, featuring a variety of herbs, salad greens, fruits, berries. It is built next to the community kitchen, so if some fresh ingredients are needed, the chef doesn’t have to go too far. All the plants need now is a bit of water and tender loving care. In another spot a small area got fenced […]
True to the announcement promising nature, culture, gastronomy and music over a weekend, you indeed got a bit of them all. The weather was overcast, nevertheless it was pleasant to explore the surroundings of Csobánkapuszta a little bit. A performance by the Ébrenálmodók Rituális SzÃnház (Daydreamers’ Ritual Theatre) and music filled the night, and, although a bit hazily, finally the full […]

Volunteers who will actively take part in […]
As our community is growing, what we dreamed about is coming more and more alive. Some of the ideas are already showing their effect, yet some of them are still in progress to be as good as they should be. We would like to give a short summary of the concept: The programs and gatherings will be […]
Today we celebrate overcoming the last legal obstacle, that was ahead our foundation in order to start the realization of the new community project idea, that is quite different from last years’ festival concepts. Only a handful of the previous team members have remained. This project is an initiative to save the original, noble idea once called […]
Dear Solar United Natives! Thank you for your trust and patience towards us in the last months. Here is a Mushroom Magazine interview with Oleg to give you more insight into the background of the changes in our approach and team that ultimately led us focus on the community, on You. It seems like tomorrow […]

Photos of our land in Csobánkapuszta and the surroundings, taken at various times in 2015 and 2014. It’s a secluded lush basin with a little lake and surrounded by forests, set among rolling hills offering great views. Can you imagine a more ideal place for a festival? See all photos on: flickr.com
Benefits of a member-based system: members can vote on the community’s progress, regional land development, different programs, artists, installations. members can decide about what the majority of their donations (members fee) should be used for. members have the opportunity to see the financial management: what their money was spent on (“glass-pocket”) members of the community […]
We have a beautiful open kitchen with a wood-fired oven on site in Csobánkapuszta, the location of the Solar United natives (S.U.N.). Our chef is Oszi, who changed the kitchens of high-end hotels for these more natural surroundings. A master of making breads, he also makes great pizzas and all types of dishes. Maybe not […]

February 22 is “Saint Peter’s day” in the Hungarian folk tradition, when a one-day break must be taken to celebrate the end of Winter. As one of the first events the team has spent this day in Csobánkapuszta, to collect plastic rubbish in the hidden areas of the bushes before the plants turn into green […]

We want to live in harmony with Nature, and so we manage our land according sustainable, eco-friendly principles. Here you can find a few shots of how we make it […]
There will be more happenings throughout the year, not just a single gathering. The ancient tribes and native people adjusted their calendar to lunar and solar cycles, including natural observations and traditional community events. We would like to return to this ‘old-fashioned’ practice and celebrate the significant dates together – as well as living, learning, […]
