Answer key (for hypothetical listening questions):

Phase One: The ‘Whispering Woods’ (Dawn of the first day) Participants gather at pre-determined compass points within a beech grove. The exercise requires them to listen for the sound of wind passing through the Fagus sylvatica canopy. Unlike oak or pine, beech leaves create a distinct, papery rustle. Festival guides argue that this specific frequency—measured at approximately 5,000 hertz—induces a state of alpha brain wave activity. Participants are told to note the direction of the sound, not its source, as it supposedly indicates the migratory path of local bee populations.
