Saturday 26th May

I found a warm and beautiful place full of love. Love in its purest sense. I found a sense of belonging and joy, deep joy almost ecstasy … tears of happiness and tears of sadness mingling together. Read full account (opens in new window)

I felt a huge change come over me during the experience: it was as if I arrived as a shy person and left as a shy person, but during the experience I was someone else ... Two days later, I feel so much stronger than I did before going to the event.

Participating has helped me to process some of the grief and sadness at losing my father earlier this year. I have felt this loss as an emotional blockage that has hindered my creative development.

Taking part in this event has helped me to express and let out some of the grief that has been stored up, and I am already noticing a difference in my creative practice.

We started dancing, I closed my eyes against the pain, then I opened them and looked at him. He was smiling. We danced and pulled, I pulled his as hard as I could, he was smiling all the time. He pulled my ropes in various directions and I started to get lost in his happy face. He was the only thing present. He made everything negative vanish. He made me feel like I could do this, and like I was worth something.

	I will try to plan performances with a lot of people put together instead of doing them only by myself. I will experiment with the energy coming from the community in addition to my own
	Definitely the most empowering experience of my life. Felt like I was moving through different realities and bringing the energy of each back with me. Now I feel like I'm falling back into a different alignment, changed on so many levels.
	The experience left me a large amount of energy to develop new projects and performances, and also the consciousness of the immense power of interaction.
	I reached the ecstatic state I was hoping for while sharing it with others and seeing the effect it had on them … It was everything I thought it was going to be and more
