The first night only a few people
stayed on site. I created a small
fire circle. Dug a hole, put some
rock down and started gathering
elders to put around in a circle.

I enjoy the gathering of rocks
around a fire. The rocks tend to
want to get out for a bit and get
warmed up by the fire.

We sat around, an Italian, a
Japanese girl, a Quebecer, a
Canadian, and a Taiwanese. I love
the multi-culturalism of the
event. We talked for a bit. I was
asked about my communication
consultant skill, how to make
money as a creative person. It
was nice and simple.

We went to bed a bit past 12, one
of our friend was already passed
out in his tent. A cute guy who
love nature. Our tent was by the
river, and it was very loud.
Naima wasn't sure she could fall
asleep but I was really tired and
didn't want to move the tent. I
knew I would hallucinate (without
any substance) all these noise
and voices, but I was ready to
try it out and try to fall
asleep.

We saw a huge hare in the forest,
gently running away. It seemed so
big, maybe because of the light
we were using. It felt welcoming
too. We laid down in the tent,
and the show started. At first it
was gentle voices. Then more of a
singing type of sound. The noise
created by a river is such a
complex noise, not steady white
noise style, but always moving
and morphing, quite organic.

The singing was nice, but I knew
that I had to fall asleep soon as
the sound will transform soon.
Naima was restless, and soon the
sounds transformed. This time the
growling of the rocks below the
surface joined in. I guess you
can hear these at all time, but
it seems to take a moment to be
able to hear them.

These lower growling tones are
scarier. Something is moving, and
you don't know what. It gives a
lot more food for the
imagination, for the fear to
settle in. We decided at that
point that we would change spot
and move the tent to the dance
floor. We did, and finally had a
few hours of sleep.

I didn't sleep too well, and woke
up early. I went to get some more
wood for the fire, and setup for
breakfast. Egg tacos! I really
like tacos when camping. It's
easy, you don't need a plate, I
use soft shell so they don't
break, and you can fill them with
anything. It's also gluten free!

I continued the fire circle.
Walking in the forest asking the
elders if they wanted to join,
getting warmed up after being in
the ground for so long. I like
talking to rocks, interacting
with them in this way. It's very
peaceful.

I started the fire from
last night. Although I poured
water on the fire, there were
still some heat, some embers, so
the fire didn't really died.
I liked that it continued, and it
would continue for the next 48
hours without a rest. Somewhat
the heart of the event, right at
the entrance.

We ate, and slowly people started
to wake up, and slowly the whole
crew arrived. We continued to
prepare for the party, as it was
starting at 5pm. The forest
slowly transformed from a
unwelcoming wild forest, to a
gently modified fairy house.
The forest was really dark, not
letting much sun coming in.
Perfect for a dance floor.

I was exhausted before the party,
so I went to setup our tent in a
different spot and put out my
hammock.  I took a quick nap in
there, and was ready to party.

I danced, had an early tequilla
drink, and then went into
psychedelic, mdma and mushrroom
has been my preferred blend for
the dance floor. I meet Molly, I
met a lot of people. I saw to
young wicca that I've seen
online. They had setup a shop
next to the dance floor. There
were all kind of hippies, weirdo,
fire spinner, jugglers, it felt
so good to be there. I'm used to
party by myself, so I'm no
demanding of other's attention.
I do my thing, I have my fun and
if I am not to connect or to talk
to anyone I would still have the
time of my life. I feel like it
makes people want to join in my
fun as I am not reaching out.

It felt good and well balanced.
Kissing Molly was my highlight,
made me really happy and warm,
just before the sunrise. By the
time it was light out, I needed
to crash, went for a few hours of
sleep, before coming back up.

I saw Molly in the morning. She
wasn't feeling good and I offered
her a massage. She needed more
sleep, but wanted to come in when
I'd offer the massage workshop.
I wasn't on top of my game
either. I had too much tequilla
and it wasn't agreeing with me.
I really don't like that. I feel
like I have to find a way to just
drink a little, or have something
else to start the night, some
nice herbal tea with a strong
effect... I went to the river to
clean up, went for a nap. I saw
Zoe who gave me a bread, she was
also not in a good mood.  People
partied quite a lot yesterday,
and most of the organizer were a
bit burnt.

I rested a lot that day, back and
forth from my hammock, until I
offered the thai massage
workshop. I went to get Molly
first, it was the sweetest
massage I offered in a long time,
then massage FenRose, Yo, and a
few other people. Julia was
mixing at that time, so I was
looking forward to be done and
went dancing with the crew.

It was so nice to be back on the
dance floor with them all, with
the tribe. We had a few more
hours of dancing and then the
music stopped in the early
evening. I wish I could stay but
we had to leave that night. We
packed, said our goodbye, I
hugged Molly passionately.  I
still wonder if I should have
kissed her again or taken her
contact. I miss her now.

We drove home and crash quite
early that night, reviewing our
weekend and how much fun we had.
