The Planetary Eye festival. Dialogue of cultures – one world

In Kyrgyzstan, in the Tien Shan, on the shores of Lake Issyk-Kul, the Planetary Eye Festival is held annually.

Its main task is to create an intercultural crossroads. In the course of implementing this task, a platform was formed on which the cultural diversity of human civilization is presented and real intercultural dialogue takes place. The results of the festival open up opportunities to proclaim the slogan: Dialogue of cultures – one world




The festival takes place in the first yurt town in Kyrgyzstan.
The yurt is a symbol of the meeting of “nomads” walking different paths of human destiny.
A yurt is like a circle of friends.
A yurt is a way to live without corners.
A yurt is an opportunity to experience the real ecology of a traditional home.
The yurt is like a projection of the macrocosm of the dome of Heaven into the microcosm of our home.




We present the reference points that we have chosen while moving along the path of promoting a culture of peace in this territory of intercultural dialogue:
• Of the two forms of interaction: competition and cooperation, we fundamentally, sacredly choose cooperation.
• Representation of culture through the presentation of a vision, worldview, attitude that precedes worldview and action. First I see, then I understand, and only then do I act. Representation of culture through any clear means of unclouded worldview, worldview, worldview.
• Moving towards peace and harmony, it would be good to understand with whom and how we should be friends. Therefore, we rely on the principle: Through the recognition of plurality there is the possibility of unity.




• Consideration of tolerance not as a result, but as a process.
• Step-by-step awareness and analysis of the methodology and technologies of tolerance.
• Reliance on “roots” in the presentation of traditional forms of culture.




• Reliance on real carriers of culture. Since, from time immemorial, it has been known that ignorance always competes, knowledge strives for cooperation.

We are all nomads, wandering the roads of life. And travel gives us meetings with travelers on other roads. Different countries, different paths of human destiny and such a different, but united culture of planet Earth. And everyone drives his own “camel”.




And the road is calling. The Planetary Eye festival was created in 2002. The yurt town is located in the middle of the southern shore of Lake Issyk-Kul, on the western outskirts of the village of Tosor. As a congress hall, we built the Khan-Yurt, the largest Turkish-type yurt in the world. The yurt town was created to organize a platform for intercultural dialogue, but it also partially works as a tourist center for cultural, ethnic, and environmental tourism.




We are convinced that it is culture that determines a person’s harmonious relationship with nature and the environment. Therefore, the platform for cultural dialogue has been at the forefront of the environmental movement in Kyrgyzstan throughout its existence. We have carried out many environmental actions, conversations, seminars, and forums. As an important example for us, let me present Conversations with Elders: https://yurta.info/besedy-so-starejshinami/




We stand on the conviction that: Ecology is not a struggle for nature, but an opportunity to find one’s place in it. And, the opportunity to follow the natural flow of natural changes. Because we are part of it. This is demonstrated by our lives.




In the yurt town:
- a garden and park landscape has been formed based on local, endemic plant species and horticultural crops. This combines the amazing natural aesthetics of the Issyk-Kul region and the charm of the garden space.
- we made a drip irrigation system (more than 9 kilometers), which made it possible to irrigate plants in the sands of the semi-desert of the Issyk-Kul region.




- in order to have an autonomous source of water, they dug a well and drilled a well twenty-five meters deep and another well fifteen meters deep.
- magician Andrei Pogorelsky created a «magic box». This box itself knows when to pump water from the well and how to maintain water pressure in the system; it magically filters the water, irradiates it with ultraviolet light, and ionizes it with silver.




- we ourselves designed and built full-cycle treatment facilities, which have been operating for more than 17 years. The treatment facilities built in the yurt town of the Planetary Eye festival are the first treatment facilities built on the southern shore of Issyk-Kul after the collapse of the Soviet Union.
- in a yurt town we live in yurts, where a felt wall does not separate us from nature, but designates the space of our life in it.

Let's meet at the crossroads of our roads
