Sisters and Brothers!

Let me tell you a story! I was having a
hangover the other day after a party in Bu-
dapest when I decided to submit myself to
my daily routine. I sat down in front of the
So I remembered that last year’s early
Sunday evening when I sat down with my
friends by the rocks facing the main stage.
We were just staring at the dancefloor,
thinking about how it was going to feel in

computer and started browsing the usual
pages, sipping my back-to-life coffee.
I checked out the O.Z.O.R.A. webpage and

and said that she would be back in a sec-
ond, not telling us where she was going. As
we later found out, she went into one of the

saw that there were only 44 days to go. I
don’t really believe in the powers of nu-
merology, but after this, when I clicked on
the facebook page of the festival and was
listening to Hypnoxock’s pulsing impulsive
track ’Ecstassy’, reading the comments of
many excited people, I remembered the
feeling of anticipation you have when you
are waiting for the gates to open.
Every year when me and my friends see
the ’Welcome to Paradise’ sign, we scream
in joy and after when we arrive at the
Ticket Office and get our wristbands, we
hug each other because we feel we have

always-present festival shops and found a
jukebox there. But then, while she was still
gone, we suddenly heard ’Paradise City’
from Guns ’n’ Roses.
I am sure that many of you have similarily
small yet meaningful memories connected
to your personal festival experience here in
Ozora.
But here’s the thing!
I learned the most important rule from
that same friend ( let’s call her O) – we
came together, we are leaving together.

IN 2012, FOR THE THIRD TIME, MAGIC
GARDEN PRESENTS A SERIES OF LEC-
TURES AND EXPERIENCES ABOUT THE
EVOLUTION OF CONSCIOUSNESS AND
HUMAN TRANSFORMATION UTILIZING
THE WHEEL OF WISDOM AS A TOOL.
For this year Professor Béla F. Torkos has a special idea
to intensify our togetherness: he invites us to share an at
the Chill Out Stage just before the Main Stage opening

of the most powerful sensations in itself.
The old Greek saying ’panta rhei’ comes to
my mind.
Naturally, it is hard to stop remembering...
So, Sisters and Brother, enjoy ceremony. We like this idea very much: it could be an ex-
tremely intensive and intimate experience for all of us!

Monday greets another wave of African heat riding on strong southern winds. Do not
plan your sun dance for this day – you might melt in the 40 degrees that can come your
way. If you are hoping for rain and a good old mudslide, you will be disappointed. Mister
Meteorologist promises us no watery skies. Hint: meeting the sprinkler truck might be a
great source of joy.

EARLY BIRD DAY
Dear Brothers and Sisters! The day we’ve all been waiting for so
long has finally arrived. As most of you already know, today an of-
ficial warmup party will be held in the Chill Out Dome for the very
first time in the history of Ozora Festival. In the previous years,
the gathering ended with an after-party held in the same place, so
it was no question what venue to choose for the before party.
This year, the crew decided to offer us the opportunity to spend a
little more time in Paradise by adding Day 0 to the line up. During
this day, exceptional artists, like Pena, Slater or Deedrah will enter
the stage to invite you to a journey discovering various subgenres
of psychedelic music. If you’re not sure about the contributing art-
ists, check the Program Guide you got at the entrance.
