BOOM 2018 | This is our baby story! Where it all begin...

What is Boom?
Picture
Boom is losing your phone in the sand at the Dance Temple, thousands of Boomers raving on top of it. A new friend stops partying and spends hours in the dark helping you look. You decide to stop stressing and let go of anxiety... you laugh at the irony of ‘disconnect to connect’, written on the back of the Dharma Dragon newspaper. So, you go on an adventure with this new friend, time flies but Boom is a temporary infinity. It gets colder, you’re cloaked in a fresh dew that darkness brings. There’s a light that guides you to exactly where you need to be. Exploring, you lose track of time and stumble upon the humbling sight of the full moon blanketed in a midnight blue night’s sky, setting over the lake. Shimmering, it sends ripples across the almost still lake and goosebumps along your skin. It’s the perfect moment. You’re silenced by the beauty of the moon set and, together with your new friend, you huddle together to keep warm and watch it all. The moment is serendipitous. You’ve made a new connection; one that’s pure, raw. It happened so naturally that you barely even realised...

And your lost phone... what?! You had totally forgotten about it. You are here and now.

The next morning you join the queue at Lost & Found feeling quietly confident that it’ll be there, because you believe in the harmony of this festival; the magic everyone creates here together. Your experience so far of this festival leads you to believe that you’ll find what you lost. And you did. It’s handed back to you with a ‘congratulations’ and a celebratory bell is rung. You turn away to see a sea of smiling faces - genuinely happy for you that you found what you were looking for. You smile back because they helped you find it. 


What’s Boom, you ask? That’s just 12 hours of Boom.
