Workshops and Festivals
The community-owned limited company ZEGG GmbH organises four large-scale festivals each year, attracting several hundred visitors. Most of the work involved in these festivals is carried out on a voluntary basis by the whole community.
Additionally, approx. 120 other workshops and events take place on the site each year, including events organised by both internal and external workshop leaders. These covers topics such as community knowledge, communication, love and sexuality, non-violent communication, empathy, arts and singing.
In total, ZEGG had more than 10,000 overnight stays in 2010, making it the second highest spa tax contributor in the spa town of Bad Belzig. The official host for all these events is ZEGG GmbH and this seminar business is the main source of community income.

Famous quotes containing the word festivals:
“This is certainly not the place for a discourse about what festivals are for. Discussions on this theme were plentiful during that phase of preparation and on the whole were fruitless. My experience is that discussion is fruitless. What sets forth and demonstrates is the sight of events in action, is living through these events and understanding them.”
—Doris Lessing (b. 1919)
