The “Ural Khorovod” festival is held annually in the kin’s settlement Svetorusye. This place has long been a magnet for those who value living in harmony with nature and seek like-minded people.
 |
This is not just a celebration, but a large-scale gathering of residents from kin’s settlements across Russia. The main idea behind the festival is unity. Here, people form a circle to feel a connection with one another, exchange energy, and set an example of how to build a bright future rooted in tradition.
 |
The festival takes place outdoors: the forest, river, and cozy glades create the perfect setting to escape the hustle and bustle of the city. The program is always rich and diverse:
• Sharing experiences: Participants exchange insights on developing kin’s settlements and managing their households.
• Crafts: an introduction to traditional crafts from different regions.
• Creativity: workshops, concerts, and, of course, the round dances themselves.
 |
Here, the khorovod is a symbol of unity among families and peoples. By participating in it, people open themselves up to new experiences, make friends, and simply recharge with positive energy. Every guest finds something special for themselves: some through music and dance, some through conversations with artisans, and others through peaceful relaxation in nature.
 |
The Ural Khorovod is a way to preserve and pass on traditional values to future generations: a love for one’s homeland, respect for the environment, and the importance of strong human relationships. It is a place where you can truly “recharge” and feel like part of a large and caring community.
 |
Participating in the festival offers the chance to see how the concept of kin’s settlements comes to life. There are no casual visitors here: every guest or participant arrives with a desire to create – whether it’s building a house, planting a garden, or crafting unique handmade items. Interacting with those who have already gone through the process – from choosing a plot of land to establishing a fully functioning homestead – provides a powerful incentive to develop your own project.
 |
The festival places special emphasis on continuity. When children and adults participate together in circle dances, workshops, or communal meals, age boundaries dissolve. This creates the atmosphere of a large family, where everyone feels supported and valued.
 |
The organizers emphasize that “Ural Khorovod” is not an exclusive club, but an open space for anyone who embraces the ideas of creativity and a mindful lifestyle. They welcome both those who are just beginning to take an interest in kin’s settlements and those who have long lived on their own land.
