The 10 (12) Principles of Burning Man

Burning Man, wow, it is a world of its own and undoubtedly as a culture much needed in todays world, as it is revolutionary in its nature and paving the way forward to a planet where people can combine as one to Unite and Liberate. The beginnings of Burning Man saw the whole idea as a social experiment, now with 120 Regional Burning Man events around the globe its a culture that is fast spreading, literally Like Wildfire, and the very nature of what a “Burner” is, stems from 10 main principles and these principles simply explore how we can all live happily together and are the frame work for doing that in a very non resistant peaceful way.

Burning Man co-founder Larry Harvey wrote the Ten Principles in 2004 as guidelines for the newly-formed Regional Network. These principles are exactly that PRINCIPLES, which means they can be adapted to any situation. This is fantastic as society has so much emphasis on rigid laws that are almost set in stone, YOU MUST OBEY, so to have principles which are not only adopted by the Burning Man Community, they also have created a culture of international burners that in my opinion are “The cream of the Crop” of our planets people, as they principles really become ingrained in a persons ethos the more they go to these Burning Man Events.

This is the List of the 1st 10 principles of Burning Man – 2 new ones are added in below.

Radical Inclusion

Anyone may be a part of Burning Man. We welcome and respect the stranger. No prerequisites exist for participation in our community.

Gifting

Burning Man is devoted to acts of gift giving. The value of a gift is unconditional. Gifting does not contemplate a return or an exchange for something of equal value.

Decommodification

In order to preserve the spirit of gifting, our community seeks to create social environments that are unmediated by commercial sponsorships, transactions, or advertising. We stand ready to protect our culture from such exploitation. We resist the substitution of consumption for participatory experience.

Radical Self-reliance

Burning Man encourages the individual to discover, exercise and rely on his or her inner resources.

Radical Self-expression

Radical self-expression arises from the unique gifts of the individual. No one other than the individual or a collaborating group can determine its content. It is offered as a gift to others. In this spirit, the giver should respect the rights and liberties of the recipient.

Communal Effort

Our community values creative cooperation and collaboration. We strive to produce, promote and protect social networks, public spaces, works of art, and methods of communication that support such interaction.

Civic Responsibility

We value civil society. Community members who organize events should assume responsibility for public welfare and endeavor to communicate civic responsibilities to participants. They must also assume responsibility for conducting events in accordance with local, state and federal laws.

Leaving No Trace

Our community respects the environment. We are committed to leaving no physical trace of our activities wherever we gather. We clean up after ourselves and endeavor, whenever possible, to leave such places in a better state than when we found them.

Participation

Our community is committed to a radically participatory ethic. We believe that transformative change, whether in the individual or in society, can occur only through the medium of deeply personal participation. We achieve being through doing. Everyone is invited to work. Everyone is invited to play. We make the world real through actions that open the heart.

Immediacy

Immediate experience is, in many ways, the most important touchstone of value in our culture. We seek to overcome barriers that stand between us and a recognition of our inner selves, the reality of those around us, participation in society, and contact with a natural world exceeding human powers. No idea can substitute for this experience

The 2 New Principles are

Consent

We value the transformative experience of sensual and consensual touch, play, and interaction. We believe that consent plays a vital part in our connectivity and community. Our vision is that all parties participate in a physical encounter from a place of enthusiasm and autonomy. Consent must be explicitly granted from an individual who is clearly in a state of mind to be able to grant it.

Each One – Teach One

“As a self-reliant community, we believe the responsibility of spreading our culture lies with each and every one of us. All of us are custodians of our culture – when the opportunity presents itself, we pass knowledge on”

Modifyre 2019 – The Secret Garden. Australian Burning Man

Modifyre 2019 – Secret Garden

A Magical playground, loaded with grounding, spiritual connection, tooo many shenanigans, upgrades or downloads beyond measure and a big “loose Ends Crew” that threw down the best jam ever.
I Love Modifyre, I have been to 4 different burns now and for me Modifyre is the most spiritual of the 4. I feel activated and open in the space there, complex thoughts and processes I can dissect with ease, it feels like a rebirth when I leave, my third eye opens I AM AWAKE. It’s a conscious party and this year was no exception except that the bar has been raised, and I thank the wonderful “Loose Enders” for raising that bar.
I feel that the more you give, or contribute to life the more that life gifts back to you, the more effort you put in the greater the rewards, this tune sings true for this magical event as my effort and the effort of my squad was epic to say the least. The 2 main arenas where this effort was directed was towards a beautiful artwork Annirose and I created for “the Paddock” and the throw down of one of the best gatherings for “The Camp Of Loose Ends” ever, it was a take-over, we came in force.
Youtube Video time lapse secret garden. Youtube video Annirose secret garden
“The Greenhouse/ Terrarium”.

I had so much fun creating this, Annirose and I had this crazy idea that came from buying a “Bubble Tent’ to build a full size Terrarium, filled with all the things you would hope to find in a mythical garden. We applied for the Major Art Grant which was $750 and since we were the only applicant we were the people armed for the job of creating this magical wonderland. A week before we had not heard from the company that was meant to send us the “Bubble Tent” so this was the point when our art piece changed to “The Greenhouse”. All in all we loved every bit of creating, and the rewards was heading out onto the paddock and finding so many awesome peeps interacting and enjoying the space, it was very inspiring for us to witness that.

“The Camp of Loose Ends”.

OMG! So much yes to this space and to all the magical souls that filled it with so much love, joy, abundance and fun, wow, just wow. CAMP was my favorite place at Modifyre, it was a crazy space with all those nooks and crannys, where there was something always being shared or some antics taking place, it was that great kinda chaos. JUST WOW!!!! All of you wonder-full loose enders, you make my heart soar and my spirit alive with happiness. I’m still in disbelief, we had a watermelon art car (THE BASS BUG), a HUG DELI, 2 HORSE FLOATS, CLUB SODA, MASSAGE PARLOR all jumbled together in a warm cozy cuddle puddle style space, it was so warm and inviting. FUCK YES!!!!

Here are some cool time lapses of the space.

Some of my favorite highlights in this space were
-I came back from an adventure and found camp deserted with 2 flags still there somehow, so I wrapped myself up in this 5 meter sparkle blanket and hid on the couch to wait paitiently for someone to come and steal the flags. Like clockwork within 2 miniutes someone bowled through camp and must have thought wow 2 flags easy pickings and went to swipe them, I yelled out “busted, put em back” ha he got so much of a fright as he had no idea I was hiding there. Soooo gold.
-Breaking the record for how many people partying in club soda, it is now officially 22.
-Being “hugry” and ordering a “Squeaky Squeely” hug with a side order of a spank and butterfly kiss. One of the best hugs ever.
– Being awarded with a “Sihk-Lord Award” trophy , what an honour, I cant wait to pass the ashes on.

– seeing the space come alive for “the German Sparkle Party”, wow there was so much color and magic happening.
-that one awesome cuddle puddle , that morphed into a cuddle stack, then a cuddle sprawl, ahhh that was lush.
-5 loose enders licking whipped cream and paprika off a member of the black markets toes to capture Camp Paprikas flag.
– watching everyone take over the space and create their own magic, yes I was watching you all. (stalker!!!)
– Guard duty – I got to find out all the sneaky people in the midst of Modifyre – the worst were those kids they were terrors. Lol
-Ha tying up all the loose enders and singing “Bohemien Rapshydy” on the way out to the temple burn. Bahahahaha – “This is a silent burn” lol – seriously!!!!
The rest of Modifyre….ahhhhh yes. There are so many giving amazing burners that come to this space, I love the Latino Take-over at the Sunset Ducks, such an epic space. Bazaar you guys kicked arse, your space was amazing. Eclectic chill, you are the best neighbours ever, I feel like I’m camping when I join you at your fire., lord amoungst lords!!!
Thank you for the sweat lodge Danny, I cant believe just how much dirt I scrapped off my body. Maddi – your vuneralbility at the temple was beautiful – my heart goes out to you. Annirose – POP!!!! A Supernova was born. Rainbow Anj – so much yes to my tyedye jacket. The crew in the circle – BEN – still in disbelief – gratitude +. The singing bowls – next level third eye downloads. Epic. The D-floor of Wonky Crop Express and the shenanigans there, ha such a hoot. There was so much epicness.
If you are ever in the area for this amazing event, don’t miss it, your time there will be revolutionary in its nature and you will come out the other side wishing that it would go on forever.

I LOVE YOU MODIFYRE.

Burning Man 2018 – Returning To The Dust

The anxiousness, the excitement, that knowing of just how delicious life can be with all your senses ssooooo over stimulated that you just want to explode – Burning man and my journey back to the dust felt like this, there is just no place like home. MEMORIES – they have been floating in and out of my consciousness for the past 2 years, so vivid and yet so fleeting, scenes incomprehensible if you have never stepped foot onto the playa – yet each day as the reality of Burning Man came closer to my physical existence my memories of something that was, became more vivid and clear – yes I was returning HOME.

FUCK YES this added to my excitement, expecting the complete unexpected and playing and or indulging in the best adult playground on our planet, bring on Burning Man 2018.

My crew this year were Kat, Jonno and Jeanne. 3 Complete legends all that I’d met in Australia and only in the last 6 months of life. I couldn’t have asked for a more perfect combo actually we all were super tight got along like a house on fire and were all stocked to be camping with Camp FUCK YEAH!! Which of course became the motto for absolutely everything regarding burning man 2018. FUCK YEAH!!!!

For me this Burning Man experience was an initiation towards a future of creation. I was lucky enough to be invited to help build an art piece on the Playa. The Art Installation was called IN CASE WE MISS EACH OTHER. Ilia the genius behind the artworks idea decided to create a 30 meter wide UFO structure that kinda looks like a typical festival shade structure. This was the art work, the genius was underneath was going to be a telephone that would record your voice which then would get translated into binary code (We had a Astro Physicist who developed a program that can do this). We then had the biggest laser to ever hit Burning man it was 10 Million Watts (That’s Huge – a 10 watt laser will blind you), this laser will relay all the binary code translated from the telephone straight into outer space at 3 millionth of a second to a range of 100 light years away. HAHAHA soooo epic I love burning man, it really is a place full of wonder and the worlds most crazy ingenious people, and the inspiration of witnessing what people can achieve when they choose to follow their crazy dreams is totally overwhelming. FOLLOW YOUR DREAMS, I am definitely going to follow mine, creation time!!!

SSSSSSOOOOO many different highlights from Burning Man this year. Its funny at the end of the time there you just go wow I cant believe we are leaving tomorrow, time flys!! I wish I could write about all my highlights BUT “I still have no words”, It’s funny as the process and events all seem sooo surreal, here are some of the outstanding moments for me this year on the Playa.
The Wedding – What can I say here all weddings are amazing, one big celebration of love. SSSOOOOO MUCH YES!!!!! Caitlin and Mark you 2 beautiful souls, your love is truly inspirational, thank you for being the power couple you are and truly unique amazing individuals to boot. Your night was filled with the most amazing gathering of the most amazing people a true testament of you 2 and the light/frequency and vibration that you emanate and attract. Camp Anita and co, you all know who you are Farken Sihk Lords, all of you, walking off the playa and home is always a highlight for me my love for you all is and always will be there, thank you!!! At The wedding in Camp Anita some awesome moments was when I gave you Starsky the sage leaf to bless the air, you put it straight in your mouth, your look was like what is this what am I eating..hahahaha!! golden. Awesome to have you 2 Jeannie and Jono at this party, such an awesome highlight surrounded by magical people.

Ahhhh I was soooo lost in deep playa during a dust storm out of the dust, a hanging bed magically appeared was sooo awesome a quick power nap before the dust storm stopped and I was on my way again, still lost in a wonderland.
Meeting you Brittany that ice blue eyed wonder at the Arctic ice one of the few people that kept appearing on the playa, sooo good and so clear. Yes.
Hahaha that classic moment of running full tilt with trolley to the Golden Gate Bridge Art Car I felt sooo much more like a kid than usual, sooo glad we did that, I love that art car, great crew awesome crew actually, and such a fun trippy night rolling around the playa. Yesss..
That awesome connection sitting on the raised couches in Camp Fuck yeah talking about the intricacies of life, that was sooo full of light and the truest conversation I had on the playa, hahahaha Champagne bitches that was also a golden art car moment, Ellyse you are a rock star.

Marshall, you absolute legend, Im so glad you locked your keys in the car, hahahaha that turned out to be a super awesome well timed fun night cruising all over the playa, ha the art cars fun people and good times, we were in the perfect flow… legend.
Having Straight vodka poured over my hands to get rid of some stinky bad foot smell from my shoes and then wiping my hands through my hair to dry off my hands (seemed like a realy great idea at the time), your call Chase, yep you’re a fucker.. hahaha classic!
Jumping on your art car and you recognising me from BM 2016, ha I totally forgot sbout sitting on top of your RV with a megaphone hurling every kind fun insult at everyone walking past… golden I love your art car, ill be floating through the playa with you for sure again!
Rolling into F camp as there was some cool regatron playing, it sounded soooo diferent from the usual tunes around burning man, the flow and bean bags and energy in this space was awesome, the vibe of your crew inspired me to gift you all a Horney Juice brew, yep and next year I’m going for “the best drink on the playa award”. Cheers
Having a good jam at Kazbah at 11am ish one morning, the beats and vibe was so on point.
Watching you nearly prang your bike as your dress got tangled somehow in your wheel, I’m so glad I made an off hand comment that I saw that, your amazing home made chocolates you gifted me were soooo tasty. Chocolate is my weakness so this taste indulgence was a great mouth orgasm. I Have no Idea what your name is – until next time.

SSSSSSOOOOO many different highlights from Burning Man this year. Its funny at the end of the time there you just go wow I cant believe we are leaving tomorrow, time flys!! I wish I could write about all my highlights BUT “I still have no words”, Burning Man – There is just no place like it, its a magical wonderland, a place where the extraordinary is standard, a place of inspiration and a place that I love to call “HOME”.

GO!!!

Modifyre 2018 – A magical connection and a needed awakening.

Modifyre 2018 – A magical connection and a needed awakening.

Modifyre is a small intimate Regional Burning Man event on the east coast of Australia inland from South East Queensland Northern NSW. For a Burn and a place of radical self expression it has huge potential as it is in its true infancy so its growth can be taken anywhere to any heights, curbed only by the limitations one sets for oneself.

The space is lush green pastures with pockets of trees dotted randomly out towards the horizon, it sets a very beautiful stage as the area has deep roots imbedded in the local indigenous tribe of the Bigambul Nation . A representative from the tribe welcomes you to the land instantly grounding each soul there and connecting them to Gaia, for me this is why I love Australia and our beautiful festivals there is a very strong connection to land present, and a respect for ancient tribal customs and also respect to all of our ancestors. It is seriously very beautiful energy.

As I mentioned Modifyre was very intimate, with only a couple of hundred people present over the week there, it was very easy to build relationships and explore your own mirror and discover so many usually hidden secrets of self. My crew where the legends themselves Baz and Ange 2 of the best saffas out there and my absolute favourite Modifyre peeps, also with us was Daz a legend in his own right and also for me the person that shone the most light in my mirror as his path is so very similar to mine. We were definitely an awesome foursome and continuously had a great vibe illuminating from “Eclectic Chill” the name of the space we all contributed energetically into creation. I loved our space so much the people who came and shared our space we cherish you so, and there were so many of you, ha all our adopted family. YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE!!! seriously YOU HUMANS made our space epic, full of beauty, fun laughter and just down right awesomness.

Other amazing moments for me was The salsa night at Sunset Ducks, the vibe was awesome it was the centre of the universe for the time I was there, that tequila shot with the popping candy was nuts, such a mouth orgasm. If I could have smiled any more I would have split my face in 2. Eshua watching you with your amazing family was such an inspiration, in fact my greatest gift came from you, I realize even though my life is perfect and im in love with it, what you share with your blood is the one thing I don’t have yet in my life… such an inspiration – im proud to say that I would love to be a father one day, and a good one at that, ha better find the perfect partner first, hmmmmm I can’t wait till your finally walking your path beside me..hahaha. Chilly the vampire game you created was amazing so interactive even though I never got the memos with all the new rules, It was continuous fun. LOL yelling abuse inside the insult zone, just pure genius (its all the good shits and giggles) CLUB SODA, wow wow wow, fark yeah that was epic will build on that for sure soooo epically epic, love the exclusiveness love the vibe just so much love in that space. Yyyeeeaaassss!!!!!!! The burns where both beautiful, particularly the temple, that was soooo moving!!! Giggle yoga was a hoot – ha what about stretchers for my middle leg – ahhhhh just gold, some quiet moments at the element shrines , that cute intimidation I felt around you ha I love that feeling, that potato and leek soup soooo yummmmmmmyyyyy, my horny juice –well what can I say here it’s always the bomb, yelling compliments in the compliment zone and then Goldy came walking out of the crowd, ha sooo cool that a bee was chasing you around I’m sure it thought you were a flower, every awesome connection or conversation –you really are the cream of the crop – wow sooo many more little awesome memories – PURE GOLD!!!!

The whole experience was of growth and inward discovery, my path has definitely turned in a new direction in the past weeks since modifyre has come to an end. I feel more in tune with nature, have a deeper understanding of self and a ferocious desire to live my life to the fullest. My 3^rd eye is opened and a new life is now born. HECTIC J SSSSOOOO UNBELIEVABLY GRATEFUL!!!

Thank you so Much Modifyre 2018, so much gratitude love and light – keep rocking until next year and I wish we all come back to that space stronger, healthier, more magnificent, power fuller and most importantly shining like a fucken SUPERNOVA!!! BRING ON 2019

Burning Man 2016 – “I Have No Words”

Wow, I’m sitting here in a café after doing some yoga and indulging in a full body massage on “The Island Of The Gods”, or better known as Bali, it’s been a full week since leaving “Home” and I’m still trying to process exactly what happened at Burning Man, process it so you can at least get a grasp of the magic that is created at Black Rock City, a city built in the dust of the desert from the dreams of its inhabitants, a utopia….. but “I have no words”, there are no words that can accurately describe this marvellous event.

If Burning Man was never on your bucket list, or it’s on there but not a priority, change your list and make it NO 1.

Where do I start, The Mutant cars, elaborate fancy dress, the weird, the bizarre, the theme camps, the intricacies, THE GIFTS, it’s impossible, I HAVE NO WORDS!! Ha I have to start somewhere, anywhere just where is the question, I have no words.

Bikes at Burning Man, most people will say they are an essential, I beg to differ, I was on foot the whole week and I found a beautiful flow, almost as if I was where I needed to be, weather it was on a Mutant car that magically appeared in front of me, climbing over some cool structure or tearing up a D-Floor, it was always a continuous movement forward, with no backtracking or having to worry about anything. My Favourite 2 Mutant cars for me, were the Fun Bus, this not so amazing looking school bus looking thing and one I think was called the mirage.

THE FUN BUS… well it all started when I was meditating under this artwork of hanging gold streamers it was really chilled and the fun bus just appeared from around the corner and the tunes where my kind of jam. I was on, it was a sea of mayhem, people perfecting chaos in a party atmosphere, “Yep, I fit in perfectly” the house beats and people hanging from the rafters was just awesome. I laugh at this for after some time I went to the front of the bus to give a gratitude bow to the DJ, and then sat to have a drink just to have a breather. Next to me was this really striking woman whom I noticed that her energy was very grounded and centred she was an odd ball on this bus, due to the mayhem surrounding us, by the way mayhem is an understatement this party was going off. We were talking and I mentioned to her I think that I have had the best 40 minutes of my life on this bus, That’s when she turned to me and said “OH NO Christian, you jumped on this bus about 5 minutes after my husband started to DJ, and that was over 5 and a half hours ago” WHAT “I’ve been on this bus for 5 and a half hours!!!” THAT’S WHAT BURNING MAN IS LIKE, TIME FLYS WHEN YOUR HAVING FUN.

THE MIRAGE… My last day during pack down of Camp Anita Cocktail I noticed this square car pull up totally covered in mirrors, for some reason I felt a pull so I grabbed a bottle of port and my chalice/goblet and I was on. WOW what I night we cruised around the playa, funky beats were playing but the beauty was I shared “The Temple Burn” with the extraordinary souls on this car. The Temple is a beautiful structure made by DAVID BEST it will be a place for the community to come and express their emotions, reflect on the losses of friends and family members, and celebrate the lives of people around them. The temple will be built with the consideration of the community, with adequate space to accommodate the needs of people in the temple and the surrounding courtyard for reflection, safety and privacy. The peace and gratitude for each other while this amazing structure was on fire was very humbling, it was a very profound moment for me, a memory that will inspire, a moment to relish in, a time in my life that will nourish my soul. Right the temples burnt time to party again, I’m grateful as these crew were awesome and the people that I saw my 40^th birthday in with, from there we cruised around the playa again and then ended up in a theme camp well an English Pub, and it was, exactly like I was in a PUB in the UK. I loved this place I wasn’t drawn to go anywhere else, I was exactly where I needed to be.

Being on foot I found to be a more intimate experience as it was easier to connect with the people the play put in front of you. I remember giving “BAD ADVISE” to randoms from a Bad Advice stand for an hour, asking people to come mow our lawns or do some maintenance around a house we decided to take over in “Suburbia”, throwing testicles in Donald Trumps Mouth, getting whipped at the 7 deadly sins bar, having a naked foam shower with 100s of randoms on a dance floor, watching a hand puppet show where the narration was porn literature, exploring mazes, drinking in the Vanderbar 50 feet up in the air of the sextons tower that shoots huge fireballs from its apex (and has a zipline/flying fox off its top), sitting on a couch at the top of a scaffold tower(that was high), watching a bunch of protesters wanting “More Head” as the man didn’t have his head attached yet, finding a mutant car during a massive dust storm and ending up in a cuddle puddle under a huge blanket drinking port from my goblet and giggling like children… the list of memories is endless, I still “have no words”!!

CAMP ANITA COCKTAIL (Arno and 3:45) – WOW all I can say is wow, my home at Black Rock City, what a vibe and what a collection of people, my journey I didn’t find a more friendly dynamic atmosphere. We were a collection of 162 people representing 20 different nationalities, “THE LEAGUE OF SIHK CUNTS” hahahaha, it was rad and yes they were all SIHK CUNTS, I stumbled on this crew while at “Blazing Swan” a beautiful regional burn in Western Australia as Camp Anita cocktail has a brother camp there Papazans. Our camp gift to the Playa was 600 or so bottles of spirits, come if your in need of a cocktail, CAMP (I NEED) Anita Cocktail. I loved being “home” the energy and friendliness was beautiful. We had our bar area a spiritual tent that held yoga daily, tantric and movement workshops and had a tearoom attached to it, and also the highest “Cuddle Puddle” at Black Rock City. Ha I was laying amongst the pillows and was invited to a wedding, “Yes I want to be a part of your ceremony” it was hilarious as I watch a woman get married to a unicorn teddy bear, hahahaha I just love the randomness of Burning Man. I still “have no words”!!!

THE BURN – I shared this with 4 other people 2 other walkers I met on my journey and I’m thinking the other 2 may have made the beautiful red flag pyramid structure we sat in, it was beautiful, such a novelty to share that experience with so few, again the reason I loved being on foot, way more intimate.

Exodus- This is the name given for leaving Burning Man, with a lot of traffic all sadly leaving this event usually it’s a long ordeal, but for us 13 hours, hey, wow what a journey, in fact it was the best traffic jam I have ever been in ever, Burning Man was not stopping in this sea of RVs, Minivans and cars, parties were still in mass form, it was fantastic, one of my favourite days and also my birthday.

I STILL HAVE NO WORDS –

The pictures, videos and stories you will hear just don’t do BURNING MAN justice, you have to go to understand not only what it’s about but what it represents, it’s a revolution, a mindset where people can get along regardless of differences, a place where abundance prospers and life is a Utopia… TAKE ME HOME!!!!!!!

4 Steps That CHANGE Your Life

We all want to change, grow and just become better souls, it’s part of our very nature that this is always happening, you’re changing right at this very moment. Metamorphosis for humans is not in the physical cense like a butterfly, but metamorphosis happens deep within us, in our subconscious, that’s the key, the secret, if you truly are looking to change and I mean change that you are controlling or manifesting rather, then this simple method of just 4 steps that change your life is going to unlock your subconscious, and enable you to metamorphosis into the radiant being of light which you already are, without fears or limitations.

To understand these 4 steps you need to know that life is an energy game. WE ARE ENERGY, nothing more nothing less. IT’S AN ENERGY GAME. What energy we give off, we get back 100%, it’s simple, be positive and positive things happen, be negative……. well it’s no use writing anything but positive words here… hahahahaha. Everything in the universe can be broken down into tiny particles called atoms, we all have heard of atoms, they hold immense power within them, split an atom, BOOM! We are made of them, therefore we are limitless beings, imagine splitting every atom in your body, it would be like the big bang!!! Ha there’s a thought. Inside those atoms is mostly SPACE, and 3 very tiny particles an electron, neutron and a proton, when we go further into these 3 particles the pattern repeats itself there is mostly space and even tinier particles called QUARKS. Guess what’s in a QUARK, yep that’s right space, we are space, and the only reason we exist in a physical form is “our atoms” are all held together by “our subconscious”, getting the picture or rather are you getting your picture, your subconscious is your energy, everything that is happening in your life is appearing because of your subconscious state.

STOP LOOKING AT THE THINGS THAT HAVE HAPPENED IN YOUR LIFE

AND LOOK AT THE THINGS THAT ARE HAPPENING.

Lets take this one step further before we launch into the 4 steps, everything has a subconscious state, even inanimate objects like plastic or a rock, that’s why we can see them in their physical form, yet a rock can’t control or change the universe, that’s why we all have the most beautiful gift imaginable, the gift TO CHANGE, to change our universe, or our iniverse, and in changing our iniverse we also change the universe, which is both in the physical and spiritual sense. ITS AN ENERGY GAME. FULL STOP!!!

STEP 1. WATCH YOUR REACTION

Life will challenge you always, scenarios will keep recurring in your life if you don’t learn their lessons, this is because we are creatures of habit, and our subconscious patterning (neuropaths) predetermines how we react to the different circumstances we encounter in life. Our patterning is developed from what has happened in our lives, when you first learnt to drive did you have to learn to do it?? Of course you did you needed to develop new neuropaths within your brain so that eventually you can drive with out thinking, I laugh now when i’m driving and daydreaming then snap out of it and think to myself “where the F#@* am I???” u already manifested your destination, your autopilot controlled the action to get you there. It’s the same with walking, a neuropath was created within your brain that you access every time you walk, u access a certain part of your subconscious that controls this motion. A automatic reaction is happening every second of your life to the unique circumstances that are occurring, and its the same reaction every time to the same circumstances, the key to step one is knowing exactly how your autopilot is reacting to life and learning a new neuropath that teaches you to become aware of your reaction.

Do you choose a beer on special rather than the beer you really like? When your partner says or acts in a certain way your response is?? Can you ask your boss for a pay rise?? Any situation just watch how you react.

STEP 2. ASK YOURSELF “WHAT WOULD LOVE DO?”

This is the cruncher and brings the real joy into your life. LOVE is a high vibration and when we act from love automatically we are being positive, as love is the most positive feeling we can feel. This sometimes can be a difficult answer to find, and the greater the problem we are facing or have faced from our life’s circumstances, the longer it will take to find the actual answer to the big question of “what would love do???” Through practise of these four steps I’m finding that the tough challenges it takes me about 3 hours or so before I get this answer, and 100% of the time WHAT LOVE WOULD DO IS NOT THE SAME AS WHAT I WOULD DO (my automated reaction). Crazy to think that I have been sabotaging myself my whole life, not anymore, that’s going to change, I’m going to change. Interesting here sometimes I find that my reaction may have been close to “what love would do” but just not 100% spot on and other times I find that I don’t actually need to react but give the gift of love to myself, this helps me to understand my “paradigm” or just how I think about life and the world, both the good and the bad aspects of my character.

STEP 3. DO WHAT LOVE WOULD DO.

Pretty easy really step 2 you have pondered as to exactly what would love do if it faced the challenges of your life, so step 3 is DO WHAT LOVE WOULD DO. simple hey

STEP 4. WATCH GOOD OLD EGO

This one makes me laugh, ego is your conscious mind, the part of your identity that you consider your “self.” It loves to make things difficult, and our egos get in the road of ourselves all the time.

Ego is sooooooo comfortable when we just repeat the patterning or press replay of our existing neuropaths in our subconscious minds. Ego likes to know what the outcome of lifes situations are, even though the outcome more often than not may not be the best result. EGO loves you to stay in your comfort zones.

When we decide to act on step 3 and do what love would do, and not what we would have done, ego starts to feel very intimidated and uncomfortable as you are going against your subconscious patterning and creating new neuropaths that ego doesn’t know how they will play out. Feelings of anxiousness, shyness, self worth all to make you stop acting out of love for ego wants you to play out life on autopilot, because that’s comfortable, these are the indicators that you have taken the first 3 steps and now on the path to making great changes in your life. Step 4 is the validation that you are doing the right thing, and of course you are doing the right thing for LOVE WOULD ALWAYS DO THE RIGHT THING.

SO I ASK YOU NOW YOU HAVE READ THIS ARTICLE “WHAT WOULD LOVE DO RIGHT NOW?”

DO IT!!!!

P.S Interesting that the more you use this better life becomes, so in step 4 watch how your ego is reacting and then go through the 4 steps again, its just one continuous cycle!!!!

Make Your Dreams Become Reality

Being right brained I’m very attuned with my creativity and often wondered just how I’ve managed to pull off the impossible and bring life to sometimes quiet fanciful dreams. The actual process of creating something is very inspirational and as a result is very fun and exciting. I often found myself being so absorbed in the processes that it’s easy to lose sight of what’s important and “fumble around” until I either have a miracle breakthrough and get back on track focused on my outcome or “run into a wall” and then everything becomes difficult to get my idea to the finish line. Now with a very different mindset and a knowing that it’s one of the most important parts to our lives to “CHASE YOUR DREAMS” I’ve learnt a few simple techniques that help me to stay focused and become a magician of the material world, manifesting those dreams, turning them into a reality.

Start With The End In Mind

This is crucial to manifesting exactly what you have in your mind. Visualize your outcome and the more detail you can give to that dream the easier it will come to you. Some simple yet effective methods to help start this process are to create a vision board, and write an overview of your dream, these 2 simple steps will give the clarity and colour to your dream and help your subconscious visualize what you are manifesting. Once you have a clearer picture of what your aiming for, ask yourself questions like, how you will feel once you have accomplished your dreams? How will your dreams change your life/lifestyle? What will people be saying about your accomplishments? Be creative with your questions. The richer the details of this simple step the easier it will be for you to stay focused and attract the resources needed to make your dreams come true.

Read ” The Magicians Way” by William Whitecloud in my opinion a must read for anyone wanting to become a master in creating their dreams, it explains this tip to a “TEE”.

Believe In Yourself

WOW, sometimes the hardest step in our lives is just in taking the first step out of our comfort zones and doing something that we normally wouldn’t do. Fears appear then doubt kicks in and that ‘wall” becomes an impossible obstacle with no way around, stopping you from doing the impossible, it’s much easier to do what you have always done right?? The ironic thing is we have achieved the impossible so many times in our lives and we are limitless beings, we can do the impossible. Believe in yourself, you can and will achieve anything that you focus your intentions on, you have so much support in ways that you don’t even see, know that you are and always have been a success. When the fears kick in have FAITH that the “universe” has your back, it will guide you through those fears straight as an arrow to what your heart desires. TRY: looking at what small things you can do in the current moment to turning your thoughts into reality as motion or action will take your mind from your fears and create a doing mentality, which is the needed momentum to your dreams.

Get Comfy with Feeling Uncomfortable

This one relates to that thing we call “EGO”. Our Egos love to be told positive affirmations like “you look good” “you’re smart” “your right” so naturally we will automatically stick to what we are good at, or what society has conditioned us to believe about ourselves. When we attempt to do something “different” to what our conditioning or environment has taught us, our egos feel threatened for we could end up under the scrutiny of our peers/friends/family and feel judged or god forbid be told “you’re stupid” “you’re wrong” or “I TOLD YOU SO”, get comfortable with this, yes it is nerve racking to attempt something new and a challenge to learn a new skill, but with some practise a little dedication, and perseverance you will find yourself comfortable in your new surroundings. Being uncomfortable is like a feeling that confirms you may be on the right track.

Be Adaptable

Change can be one of the hardest challenges we face. When creating an idea we tend to put the blinkers on seeing our path as the only way it can be achieved, but often other people will have knowledge on how to do things more effectively or a different way to do things that may lead you to your desired result quicker. Letting go and allowing “The Universe” to give you guidance might mean for you to change the course of action, change the idea slightly, be flexible and alter your plans where necessary. Thinking on this we are constantly growing and changing our nature so why not allow your dream to adapt, grow and change as we are. Hint: Every so often go back to Hint 1 and recreate my vision boards, rewrite my business plan. Doing this you will notice your growth, values and just how you have changed in that time frame as you might view things differently or just realize that your goal has changed course a little, so this process will help you stay on track to exactly what your actually aiming for in the sub-conscious.

Be Consistent

Consistency is a major part of manifestation. A mentor of mine constantly says “Greatness come to those who do the small things consistently”. Nothing could be further from the truth, repetition over a period of time creates our habits, both on a conscious and subconscious level. It forms our energy patterns and becomes our in built auto pilot. Research suggests that it takes 21 days to form a habit so do one task for your dreams consistently for 40 Days, and it will become second nature to you, and become a small stepping stone to achieving your dreams. If you can’t find a task to do repetitively, create a time in your day when you work on your dreams, or continuously do 1-3 small steps to learning or creating what your striving for. JUST KEEP GOING!!!!

I know deep down if you have read this far that there is a desire to accomplish the impossible and transform a thought you have into something tangible, something that can be touched, felt of expressed. You also know deep down that you can do it, with dedication, perseverance and an unwavering belief in your self everything is possible, you don’t just have a chance to succeed YOU WILL SUCCEED!!! The universe has your back, but hey like you need it’s help anyway right???

Blazing Swan 2016 – Festival Of Friends

A good 300km east of Perth near a spec of a town named Kulin, fringed around the side of a salt flat holds a Burning Man style festival over the Easter break, full of so much flavour, generosity and a deep seeded respect for the land and nature, that it leaves you with a renewed vigour for life and an abundant array of new friends, #friendsyouhaventmetyet for everyone is your best friend at this festival, Blazing Swan is absolutely amazing, an event that needs to be marked in your Calender.

The country side in this part of the world is breath taking, huge granite outcrops dot the very flat and barren landscape, not hard to climb they offer magnificent vantage points to take in the lay of the festival and gather your bearings as to exactly where all the #themecamps and madness is taking place. The granite outcrop of Jilakin Rock is roughly the centre point of Blazing Swan it offers a great vantage point to take in the 2 delicate swans built out of wood who’s necks touch to form a perfect heart shape, being the symbol of this festival, their purpose is that of an art installation to be set on fire on the last night, a fitting ending to this BURN style festival.

So the madness, well, this is tough to get into words, Blazing Swan is kind of like a giant house party outdoors. You know when you’re at a house party with your closest friends and there is always some sort of silly fun happening somewhere, and you look and are like #WTF??, but have to join in anyway, hahaha, imaging having 3000 of your closest friends all doing and creating those #moments with no limitations to their creative flare, it’s insane. #themecamps are scattered all over the camp grounds, they all have their own unique flavour, and the effort that has taken place to put them together is staggering, years of hard work and dedication. #Papazans a groovy and very cosy camp that pumps out tunes at night and day, but puts on quirky events such as the best undie parades and acra yoga classes, I loved the crew from this tent they real are a tight bunch of just beautiful individuals, and funnily enough were the very first people I met in Perth at the airport, can’t wait to party with you lot at Burning Man…yyyeeewwww. #GodSaidNo a huge pyramid tent with a thumping sound system busting out continuous beats under flouro black lights. #Koasis the third main contender as the place to “GO OUT” and get your groove on as their music and the atmosphere is amazeballs. #BlackLagoon who serve coffee sometimes with a dash of schnapps of Vodka during the day, #campunicorn, #ArtSlutsSociety (or TBC), #FireTribe, #FortSwan, #TwistedJar, #NoLimits plus a hell of a lot more all bringing their individual or group collective flare to Blazing Swan. For a Looksy at all the camps Cling this Link here Blazing Swan Theme Camps.

So the camps set the stage but it’s the people and their #randomness that give this festival its flavor, this list is a compilation pf some of the random shite that I witnessed but also there are some gems from all the great crew I connected with or were in my Pp p p p PAAAAAARRRTTTEEE crew!!

At Blazing Swan the people who attend are not mere “attendees,” but rather active participants in every sense of the word; they create the city, the interaction, the art, the performance and ultimately the “experience.”

Heres a quick list, if you think of some highlights I’ve missed leave them in the comments below!!!!! Cheers

Good Old John- In His Top hat and his tails living on a bus he calls home, his generosity extended to providing espresso martinis and some cords from his guitar to any stranger that walked passed

-Being gifted some stone jewellery from a random stranger whilst enjoying a moment of deep convo with a beautiful soul watching sunset. The jewellery was made by a woman studying at UWA and was being gifted by her partner at Blazing Swan

– Ha That Krazy Kat that decided to go for a swim on the lake the first morning, got to the lakes edge and then striped down to skin and went walking, after an hour or so of walking on the lake realized the whole thing was ankle deep, hahahah I’m never doing that rookie mistake again, at least I provided a laugh for the crew…..

-hahah waking up to a streaker running along the dirt road between us and the salt lake with a hard on… hahaha he just looked at us and waved..

-In the maze they had a silent disco where they served drinks and horderves. Great laugh getting lost in the maze and people everywhere dancing in random places in the maze, apparently they change the solution of the maze each night and covert it to a lounge during the day.

– The detox bus where they had speed dating. A mates mate Darren drove it over from Melbourne.

– Pool Room where they served beer bloody marys!! Actually added beer to the bloddy Mary. Tasted waaaaay better than it sounds.

-The garden near the toilets/ detox where they served delicious pineapple fruit drinks (with alcohol of course)

-frisbee in front of Dave’s banana shack

– The unicorn parade, 100’s of crew followed the disco truck with a horn on their heads dancing, was super fun.

-Scotch on the rock at 4 o’clock. Where they served a scotch mix with bitters and sugars and lemon. Awesome!! They got dressed up for this super styling.

-Jam session in Jam camp on the rainy day. Near the end in the night half the tent fell down and everyone had to work together to save it!! Was epic!!

-Prom night

-The tall jungle gym structure that you could climb up in one of the Theme Camps

-Mud sculptures in the lake of two people either stuck or raving.

– The Iron horse Chariot that was an actual DJ set up, that was amazing in my opinion the best thing constructed for Blazing Swan 2016

-The Spider Mobile, just look on google for it, WTF

-bathtub filled with plastic balls.

-the truth tent with note books question on top that people write in their truths.

On the rainy cold day I was looking for somewhere warm and ended up at Camp Unicorn where there was 20-30 naked people all getting body painted, it suited me to a tee got my brush on and just painted bodies till they had the naked body paint parade.

-ride a tank that blows fire out of its cannon

-Banana shakes with rum from one of the camps.

– Camp #Alliance with its star wars party.

-Lip sync contests.

-The Best Undie contest

-A friend was in banana bomb and one morning a guy walked down past silent disco with his bodyboard. couple hours later he walked back past from the lake heading up to the camps and i yelled out “how was it!” Without missing a beat he yelled back “pumping!”

-Going for a solo adventure to climb one of the surrounding Granite rocks and ending up being used for the filming of a Film Clip for “Switch Stick”. Ha Love the randomness

-This is only a small snippet of some of the action, there was so much more, weddings, missions, parties, fun and the extraordinary..

So to sum it up…. Just WOW can’t wait for Burning Man as this truly amazing event has inspired me in so many ways and in only its third year its going to be up there soon as one of the top festivals on the planet, so what are you all waiting for GO!!!!!!

BLAZE INSANE. xoxoxoxoxoxo

Earth Frequency 2016 – From Family To Fun

WOW, looking back over the past couple of months #I’mTooBlessedToBeStressed as one small intimate beautiful festival has bought so much joy, love and happiness into my life from the soulful connections of many just downright beautiful/amazing people that crossed my path and shared in my journey at Earth frequency festival 2016.

being a first timer I had only a vague idea of exactly what to expect, and with the buzz and feeling of still being “loved up” from Rainbow Serpent Festival in Victoria just 2-3 weeks prior I was pumped for another festival, yet this was different in its nature, Earth frequency is about connection, I walked away with a new family, a tribe of ever growing unique individuals all with their own story, all living with a community spirit sharing their lives and truly the soul for a movement of people that our planet/mother needs desperately, to preserve and protect her for future generations of mankind. A Family, I’m so grateful to have recognised this.

Your Vibe Attracts Your TribeToo Blessed To Be StressedConnection is King

Imagine if you had to choose only one word/adjective to describe the people you love in your life, then think of the word fun, who out of every person you know or have met is best described with this one word. I was super lucky at Earth Frequency this year for I had 4 of my most favourite “FUN” people running a muck and definitely up for a good time, Thanks Lisa, Charlie, Fernanda and Jess I Love You 4 you are just amazing individuals and always add a sparkle to my life!!! Thanks for the great memories created over the Earth Frequency weekend.

Some #moments that really stand out for me were having a beer or 2 (maybe 3??) as the sun was rising while floating around the dam with Jess and Aaron, it was a perfect start to the day or a great end to my night, haha, I still laugh out loud at the mission to jump every fence possible and clamber through lantana instead of going the really easy way through the gate just 50 meters away!! —Fernanda wow what a really cool day we shared talking and meeting a truck load of cool people, but leading the festival towards the opening ceremony with Pat, that was special, perfect, in fact probably the stand out moment of this festival for me. —Lying in the back of my van in the mornings watching the beautiful crew of people that I was camping with waking, their interactions were inspiring, wether it was just making coffees or preparing breakfast, I saw no selfishness everyone was thinking of each other, there was so much love and light amongst this family of individuals, I feel such deep gratitude and appreciation to have not only met these people but also to have shared my Earth Frequency journey with them, you all have truly touched my soul and our interactions have inspired me to become a better person. THANK YOU, you know who you are… THANK YOU. —Busting Some power moves on the D Floor to the delicious sounds of Chali 2na and the Funk Hunters followed by Opiou who relentlessly delivers my kind of BASE, Lisa, Fernanda and Jess this groove with you guys was soooooo much fun, have I told you 3 that you are rad lately?? Sarah thank you for choosing us to party with, I still can’t believe that I met everyone you shared Earth Frequency with individually, then bought you all together for some random times at my house on the Goldy afterwards..haha Sandy your cheeky smile when you gave me that water bottle I will remember always, I loved #StompingLikeAButterfly with you, I’m soooo happy our paths have crossed since then xo. —Hahahhahaha #TheGoldenPoohAwards Being a part of this practical joke was legendary, this kind of stuff cracks me up. All the crew I was camping with (20-30 people) waited till an unsuspecting victim entered one of those port-a-loos, then quietly we all ran over and a red carpet was laid out front, then we all crowded around until the victim opened the door to us all clapping and cheering as they were being presented with a golden Pooh Trophy, it was such a creative practical joke, I applaud the effort of this!! Lastly the Monday at the Earth Pod stage was epic grooving with everyone to some fine reggae beats and just relishing in the last day of this extraordinary festival.

All in all Earth Frequency was everything I expected plus more, the knowledge that I have found my #tribe and the connections made within this community has been epic, and the overflow of these connections into my actual life is the real blessing, as usually festival life is another world away from actually reality, but for me luckily it seems that my 2 worlds are colliding and this collision has been remarkable indeed. Thank you Earth frequency 2016.

Rainbow Serpent 2016 “Festival Of Beauty”

Expressionism, does society allow us to do this freely in todays age?? Individualism, do we effectively embrace the importance of ourselves? Love, are we expressing this individually to the community and individuals in our lives?? These are the fundamentals to what I believe are the most important aspects to our world becoming a truer and more perfect place, one where smiles laughter and fun are of utmost importance, and people shine their light everyday in every second, RAINBOW SERPENT is such a place, a collection of “family” or “a tribe” where everything is shared and a community spirit is profound. Festivals like this reflect the last stronghold of this expressionism and individualism, and Rainbow Serpent for me is my favourite, a place that I like to call home, its beautiful to be amongst my family again every year.

I just love this festival, it is soooooo difficult to actually describe this festival with words, love, colour, fun, laughter, beauty, flavour, excitement, smiles, happiness, spirituality, connection, begin to paint a picture, but it is an experience that has to be felt, words will never justify the true connection your soul will encounter being present at this amazing festival.

The Aboriginal Culture in Australia are all connected through spirit to our world and the land we call home. They have stories about the formation of our planet passed down from their ancestors that come from what’s called the “Dreamtime” or “Dreaming”, a time when a flat world was moulded into shape by the ancestral beings that broke through the crust of our earth and through their struggles, battles and journeys shaped the world that we see before us today. “The Rainbow Serpent” came from beneath the ground and created huge ridges, mountains, and gorges as it pushed upward. The Rainbow Serpent is understood to be of immense proportions and inhabits deep permanent waterholes and is in control of life’s most precious resource water. In some cultures, the Rainbow Serpent is considered to be the ultimate creator of everything in the universe. This “Dreamtime” story is the undercurrent to exactly what this festival is about, a deep connection to the land and Rainbow Serpent embraces the culture of the local Aboriginal tribes, for Rainbow is held on the shared Country of the Dja Dja Wurrung and Wadawurrung people’s boundary, and the two tribes play an important role throughout the festival by welcoming you onto their land and sharing the festival in their honour.

Take the essence of “The Rainbow Serpent Story” then add 16000 beautiful, soulful peoples individual flair and their ability to “manifest their creativeness” into our material world, this may be the costumes they create or the campsites that are created, the gifts that they bring, or the awesome positive energy within them that they endlessly give to the festival, then add 100s of music artists relentlessly dropping their fantastic beats over 4 stages 24 hours a day for 4 days, the combination is what will bring you back year after year.

The People- If you asked me what the best thing about Rainbow serpent Festival is, I would say hands down the people!!! 2016 was just fantastic, I had a collection of some of the most amazing people all from different walks of life, very different and eclectic in attitudes but they all had one unique thing in common they were all absolute sihk lord rock stars and just beaming with love and friendliness. Together we created so many smiles and laughter for all, and we were told our collective energy was full of flavour and positivity. The Crew Lisa and Charlie, both the most insane full of life characters you could hope to meet, but as a couple their combined energy leaves you full of life and wonder. Mr Luke Otto one Lord Cat from the states whom I met last year at Rainbow Serpent who often astounds me with his acute sense of how people roll and his ability to get people to “PARTY”. His Cousin Nathan, I met this year that yahoos so much I have no idea how he doesn’t loose his voice but he scored the name Rager Cat and its very fitting, hes super fun to have around. Good old Stefan our German connection whom I picked up in a national park in NSW 4 days before the festival, an absolute ledgend. Miss Diane, one of the sweetest women you could hope to meet who just keeps giving high doses of awesomeness evry time she pops into your life. Miss Julie Pepper, an absolute rock star and just so super keen to put a pep into your step. Joshy a fellow crazy cat from the GC with a random spark for madness, Dan the bearded cool kat from WA that is filled with insight and a love of everyone around him and a gentle soul and lastly Marko a great mate of mine for many years that keeps everyone in line and just busts out his madness when the time is right, this guy is a complete legend. I LOVE THESE GUYS!!!

As always there is the extended crew, the peeps that get sucked in to the collective energy and just want to rock out and add their flavour to the group. Teagan and Zoe, so glad to have seen you in Beaufort you guys are just a bundle of joy and smiles we loved sharing Rainbow with you, Lisa you adorable, awesome, beautiful festival goer, you might need to clear your spread sheet and include us in your party/festival schedule. Sophie, wow you are an absolute super star I have all the time in the world for you and cant wait till our paths cross again, Blazing Swan?? Our neighbours Sami, Amber and Jazzi you 3 bought so much light into our camp, bring more next year.

The Costumes- OMG its just amazing, and overwhelming, I often found myself just gawking at peoples creativeness, and the effort they go to and its all for others to enjoy. Considering that most people have at least 3 costumes it makes it hard to keep track of people, I would meet people on Sunday or Monday and they would be like Christian, how are you? great, when did I meet you, Oh Friday!! What were you wearing? Oh your that amazing person dressed in balloons and bubble wrap that I was solving the worlds problems with, ha, I didn’t recognise you in your unicorn onesie today…. lol… That’s seriously what it’s like..

The Highlights- wow there are just so many, from all the amazing people and conversations and relentless music and drop to the visuals and artworks of the festival, this is a hard one to write about. My music highlight was JFB breaking some tunes in the Playground when he dropped a dirty as D & B version of “Rage Against The Machine” KILLING IN THE NAME OF!! It was epic I was god smacked I didn’t even dance, everyone just went ballistic… so fitting that song as the community spirit of Rainbow really defies the morals that have been ingrained in our DNA and our way of living in society, the world really needs to make some radical changes. BOOG$ and his killer set on the Market stage on Sunday was just epic, the light from the sun was just perfect and the beats were insane, UONE on the sunset stage wow I just love this artist he is full of base, and the opening ceremony on the main stage when Pretty Lights and OPIOU busted out their base filled beats till midnight, I loved this session the most as my crew were all together it was just mad, we were on fire, it was a relentless session of epic proportions and the lighting was spectacular. I also spent a lot of time this year in and around the theme camps, its really an inspiration as to the set up and details the put into manifesting something for us the punters to enjoy, Stand out moments for me were the Bean Bag Babylon just all time such a fun venue, The good bouncy housish music The Pelican Camp kept busting out till wee hours of the morning and the Country Club green party, and of course Poco Loco on the first night, all such fun filled events… bring on next year.

The last thing that makes Rainbow Serpents awesomeness is the fact that people are super conscious about others and the environment of the festival, you often find yourself sharing a beer or a drink with a stranger who soon becomes your mate, glitter and random gifts are given out freely, but what’s best of all is the care for nature that a small percentage of people have at the festival, where they leave no rubbish anywhere and give everything they have to the festival, they are the true souls of this beautiful festival, and through their journey they help others realise their ways and guide others to live a better life with more compassion and friendliness from within.

Rainbow Serpent 2016 is truly awesome, a place where you feel joy, embrace life, let go and everyone is or becomes the truest version of themselves, I am in love with this festival and am so super excited about returning next year in 2017 for the 20th anniversary of this most spectacular events and being among my “family” or “tribe” once again… until next year Rainbow Serpent, I MISS U ALREADY!!!!
