AND SO WE CARRY ON BOOMING… Festival life: random encounters with beautiful strangers. Dancing like a lunatic at the Alchemy Circle. Discovering a new-found passion for dark psychedelic sounds. Meeting people that you never expected to see. The most simple tasks become adventures in themselves. You cannot find your tent, but end up meeting someone that helps you locate it. Breakfast is at any time of the day or night. The night people are different to the day people. It feels like a medieval Indian town, with its dusty roads, wild countryside, market-life and Boomers that walk bare-foot across the site. Boom can be a million different things for the many thousands that are right here, right now. So much to do and see: you turn your back for a second and you miss the one thing you were looking forwards to most. We learn to detach from the ego in this space. It’s a cosmic experience full of challenges that make us face who we really are. Some people already have: there’s a woman walking around with a live chicken nesting in her head of dreads. No, really! And so we’re at that mid-way point in the Boom experience when we begin to really settle into festival life… And so we carry on Booming. More tomorrow…
