“…While the Lapua Movement never gained power, many of the IKL's members entered parliament in 1933 (as had occurred, for example, in Germany at the very beginning of the 1930s). In addition, the IKL engaged in propaganda against Freemasonry and Jews (Bogdan and Hammer 2016). Active Nazism in the 1930s was totally negative towards Freemasonry and Erich Ludendorff's attacks on Freemasonry in Germany also spread to Finland.…”

Furthermore, with the increased interest in New Age, yoga, and tantra over the last decades in Western societies (Bogdan and Hammer, 2016;Urban, 2003), the Ängsbacka retreat has become less distinct from mainstream society and has attracted a larger amount of visitors. The shift in the relation between the Ängsbacka community and mainstream society is discussed in an interview with one of the organizers of the No Mind festival, published on the Ängsbacka website:…”
