Boom Festival 2022: A Synthesis and Brain Dump from 8 Days in the Portuguese Countryside

The best way I can describe the BOOM experience is, for a brief moment in time, being slung out of the orbit of normal everyday waking consciousness, and being thrust into the outer layer of existence, floating, contemplating and feeling the actuality of the NOW, in all Her beauty, fragility and complexity. This act of leaving the rat race to pursue absurdity for a brief period of time is so rare.
