Raves, particularly ones that are designed to be “transformative” like Lightning in a Bottle in California.
Music festivals with camping are magical ways to build community and inspire yourself around other like minded and curious people. I never attended these events until a near death experience prioritized my love of dancing in my early 30. Now nearly 10 years later I'm even more convinced this is the way.
- km3r 3y agoLightning in a Bottle was amazing this year. Something about camping in a harsh environment really brings you closer with your friends, and the whole community there is so welcoming and energizing. Music has been bringing communities together for 1000s of years, and festivals like that really show how true that is.
- kortex 3y agoHow do you find out about these? I hear about some by word of mouth but I'd like to accelerate the process.
- ativzzz 3y agoI've found one by going to smaller EDM/DJ sets on weekdays and talking to people - it's not a huge crowd so people tend to chill and chat. Never ended up going to the actual event - it was more of a local burner/art event, but it was definitely a word of mouth kind of thing
- kortex 3y agoYeah, regional burns are definitely my jam. I guess I just gotta ask folks what other events they are going to whenever I'm at one. Yay network effects!
- cecilpl2 3y agoHave you been to Burning Man or various Burner regional events that take place all over the world?
- syndacks 3y agoUsername checks out… I imagine much of this community you reference is mostly intoxicated with mind altering substances? Curious how that contributes to said community.
