FundaMental Fest 2027 - 3th Edition

28 Aug 2027 - 29 Aug 2027
Cluj-Napoca, Romania

A festival dedicated to mental health, holistic wellbeing, and the connection between mind, body, and emotions.

FundaMental Fest returns for its third edition on August 28 - 29, 2027, bringing together a community of curious minds, experienced professionals, and people who believe that taking care of ourselves and each other is fundamental to living well.

Set in the beautiful surroundings of the Romulus Vuia Ethnographic Park in Cluj-Napoca, FundaMental transforms a weekend in nature into an opportunity to explore, learn, connect, and discover new perspectives on wellbeing.

Rooted in psychology, neuroscience, and evidence-based practices, the festival creates an accessible and welcoming environment where mental health becomes part of everyday conversations and personal wellbeing is explored through meaningful, hands-on experiences.

What to expect

Psychology, Mental Health & Inspiring Conversations

Talks, discussions, and interactive sessions led by psychologists, therapists, researchers, and wellbeing professionals. From emotional resilience and relationships to self-awareness and personal growth, participants can explore subjects that shape the way we think, feel, and relate to the world.

Experiential Workshops & Self-Discovery

An extensive programme of workshops invites participants to actively explore different approaches to emotional, mental, and physical wellbeing. Through guided experiences, practical exercises, and shared reflection, everyone has the opportunity to discover tools they can integrate into everyday life.

Mindful Movement & Body Awareness

Yoga, Pilates, breathwork, dance, somatic practices, and other movement-based experiences encourage participants to reconnect with their bodies, release tension, and explore the relationship between physical and emotional wellbeing.

Creativity & Artistic Expression

Through arts and crafts, creative workshops, journaling, and hands-on activities, participants are invited to experiment, express themselves, and enjoy the process of making something with their own hands.

Music, Nature & Human Connection

Acoustic concerts, outdoor experiences, moments of relaxation, and shared conversations create space for spontaneous connections and the simple joy of being together. Surrounded by nature, the festival encourages a slower rhythm and a renewed sense of belonging.

Healthy Food & Family Experiences

A carefully curated selection of food and drinks complements the festival atmosphere. Dedicated activities for children and families make FundaMental a welcoming experience across generations. The festival is alcohol-free, reflecting its commitment to mindful and conscious wellbeing.

The 2027 Edition: The Power of Stories

Stories have always brought people together. Long before modern psychology, people gathered around fires to share their experiences, make sense of the world, and find connection through the lives of others. For its 2027 edition, FundaMental explores the role of storytelling in understanding ourselves and one another. 

The stories we inherit, the ones we tell ourselves, and those we choose to share shape our identities, relationships, and sense of belonging. Through conversations, creative expression, collective experiences, and guided reflection, the festival will explore how stories can build empathy, help us process emotions, and remind us that many of our experiences are shared.

A Festival That Stays With You

FundaMental Fest brings together science, creativity, nature, and community in an atmosphere that is relaxed, inclusive, and full of curiosity. Whether you come to explore a new perspective, join a workshop, enjoy music under the trees, spend meaningful time with loved ones, or simply make room for yourself, FundaMental offers the freedom to experience wellbeing in your own way.

Join us on August 28–29, 2027, in Cluj-Napoca, for two days of discovery, connection, and experiences
