The bait that brought me to my destiny in Portugal

Boom! was an amazing experience....lots of hard physical work....so Marjo, our months of not getting to ride bike\walk as often as we wanted to were a hidden blessing!!! I made up for that in the 1st week at Boom!! Lots of heavy physical work and strenuous walking!! Working in very high temperatures was at times unpleasant (42 one weekend), but then I could just stroll down to the stunning clear lake and take a dip whenever required....have a very good almost all-over tan!!! The only down side of Boom! for me, and most of the people I spoke to, was the 24/7 doef-doef music. It started as a trance party way back when, but has evolved into more organic music and healing as well. However the trance music permeates through everything and you cannot get away from it, even if you had a peaceful meditation in the Pudja tent - it was still there. So quality and quantity of sleep seriously affected. The last 2 nights were bliss though - only the sounds of nature. All the stuff that was happening was incredible - workshops on raising our awareness/consciousness, connecting more with the Creator, an amazing art exhibition (most inspiring), wonderful healing therapies - I had a Watsu session which was a profound experience – when I went under that warm water, floating peacefully, I connected with my memory of the womb...sheer bliss.

The creative spirit of the place was quite mind-blowing. My sweet soul sister Thelia produced some beautiful creatures. I have made friends with incredible people and have invitations to visit them all over the world. It´s a WOW!!! for me.
