On the 19th of June, a portal opens to a liminal space, accessible only to those willing to step through.
And you have been summoned.
What will you see in the signs dancing through the fields?
What will the symbols reveal?
This midsummer, the veil will slip and the deck will open.
The land transforms into a living tarot of flowers, friends, and fate. You are invited to step into The Arcana. Dress as the card you wish to draw. Sing in symbols. Dance into the dream.
For one weekend, the ordinary world fades as we step into a dream drawn by fate.
The Arcana
The world we build together
This is our seventh midsummer together.
What began as a small gathering of friends has become a tradition: a weekend shaped by friendship, music, food, games, swimming, dancing, performances, late nights, collective imagination, and the strange magic that happens when everyone adds something of their own.
This year, that world becomes The Arcana: a midsummer experience of fate, friendship, symbols, stories, and the space between dream and ritual.
It is not something you attend from the outside. It is something we make together, moment by moment, until the ordinary world softens and another world begins to take shape.
Welcome to the seventh gathering.
Welcome to the Arcana.
The Realm
Vibäck, by water and sky
Our home for the weekend is Vibäck 10, a former seaside guesthouse from 1938, tucked into Marsviken where the forest meets the water.
For three days, we take over its cabins, shore, sauna, paths and gathering places.
Arrive early on Friday. Leave late on Sunday.
For one weekend, Vibäck becomes the realm of The Arcana.
The Offering
How to take part
The Arcana is not built by hosts alone. It comes alive through the offerings carried across the threshold.
Bring a song, a game, a reading, a ritual, a performance, a hidden talent, a helping hand, or a small piece of magic only you could summon.
Some offerings will be written into the weekend. Others will reveal themselves when the moment calls. In the form below, tell us what you might bring into the Arcana.
The Masquerade
Dress as the card you wish to draw
This is a costumed gathering. Choose a card, archetype, symbol, omen, creature, character, or invented piece of the Arcana, and let it guide what you become.
You might arrive as The Fool, The Star, The Moon, The Lovers, The Tower, The Hermit, a knight, a queen, a cup, a sword, a flower, a flame, a shadow, a sign, or something no deck has named before.
Bring fabric, flowers, masks, symbols, props, movement, mystery. The world becomes richer when everyone adds to the illusion.
Decorations are welcome too. If you have an object, banner, lantern, altar, garland, card, creature, or curious thing that belongs in the Arcana, bring it through the veil.
The Traveller
The path that leads through the veil
From Stockholm, the road south unfolds for roughly an hour and a half. Trains run to Nyköping; from there, omens (and a short drive) carry you the final leg.
- Car — easiest. Parking by the cabin.
- Train — to Nyköping C, then a 25 min taxi or pickup.
- Carpool— share the journey; we'll match drivers and pilgrims as the date approaches.
The Feast
The midsummer table is set
Across the weekend, the Arcana will provide ingredients for shared meals, which we will prepare together in kitchen teams.
The main feast is Friday's midsummer lunch. Everyone is invited to bring one dish to share.
Something traditional, beloved, strange, seasonal, or simply delicious. The shared menu will be built around vegetarian food, but if your personal prophecy requires meat, you are welcome to bring it yourself.
There will also be a magical bar experience, with some drinks provided by the house. Please bring offerings for the bar: bottles, mixers, garnishes, strange spirits, soft drinks, or anything you would like to see appear in the cup.
Mark your dietary needs in the form so the feast can welcome everyone.
The Coin
How we keep the world turning
The Arcana is built together, and the cost is shared between everyone who enters the realm.
The coin covers Vibäck, shared meals, the bar experience, decorations, a circus tent, lights, sound, and the materials needed to bring the weekend to life.
Choose your path of rest:
- 1400 SEK — The Field of Dreams
A place beneath your own tent - 1800 SEK — The Cabin Floor
A roof above, a sleeping mat below - 2200 SEK — The Chosen Bed
A bed within the cabin walls
Mark your preference in the form. Spaces beneath roofs are limited, so the cards may need to decide.
Swish to 072-161 50 63 (Jonas Johansson) and include the name(s) you are paying for.
If you do not have Swish, get someone to pay for you and make sure they include your name. Please refrain from using Swish cards. If you do not have Swish and it's complicated getting someone to help you, you can make a bank transfer to:
