Few comments by participants:
„Super. You are incredible. You should organise new events. You are the adornment of Lithuania. Om 
. Unbelievable.“
A. Jonuškis
„In the name of all „Luxvita“ collective I want to thank you for a dashing weekend, good time, meaningful activities and workshops.
Despite the fact that maybe you forgot to order sunny weather for Saturday, everything was SUPER We were amazed by great food (and good settlement system) and few lectures.
Thank you for that great initiative and we wish you good luck in your future works.“
A. Rutkauskaitė
„Thank you for a really magnificent evening and marvellous people, who were so hospitable. I hope that we will meet once more and maybe other time we will have more time to spend with you and share a massage. It was obvious that there were people who would cherish that.“

„You were and are extraordinary. And it is s good that this kind of event came to daylight. I hope that it is the continuous and never ending festival, not only morally but also in our daily life. Hope, that you will organise it next year. And if so, I am already in!
I have realised my ability to share knowledge and this time I would be able to contribute to content. First of all, I could prepare a lecture about all types of ecological housing with visual material.
For many people this festival helped gaining significant knowledge about our life. For some it was also a chance to understand what freedom is.
That is how I saw it. What would I change? At the beginning I would incorporate more social games – some activities for icebreaking between people. Also it would be fantastic to incorporate living testimony of some brave (interesting) people, such as Vytautas Vėjas or Yog Arūnas. Testimony of how they created their lives and what obstacles had to overcome – that would be something inspiring. Anyway I am very happy about organisers and everything else.“
