My First L.O.V.E.R. Experience

My First L.O.V.E.R. 

Walking into my first L.O.V.E.R. event, I had seen the videos with some kind of expectation and I still had no idea what to expect, but the energy of the space immediately enveloped me. It was a celebration of connection, healing, and joy that felt like stepping into a vibrant dream.

We began the day grounding ourselves with chakra yoga, an experience that allowed me to tune into my body and breath while aligning my energy centres. From there, we moved into a sacred ceremony, which set a beautiful tone of unity and intention for the day.

The cacao ceremony was next, some of us also indulged in mushroom chocolates, each bite taken with purpose and mindfulness. The atmosphere became electric yet grounded, creating a sense of shared adventure.

One of the highlights for me was getting a temporary tattoo at the tattoo stall—a fun and personal way to commemorate the day. I also couldn’t resist trying out the net trampoline, which brought out the playful child in me.

A tour of the venue revealed breathtaking views that felt straight out of a painting. Majestic trees, lush grass, towering mountains, a serene farm, and a dam surrounded by rugged rocks made it a paradise for nature lovers like myself.

Of course, the dance floor was calling, and I couldn’t resist. The beats from the DJ paired with the live drumming brought a rhythm to my soul that was impossible to ignore. Every movement felt like a celebration of life.

As the evening unfolded, the fire dancers mesmerised us with their stunning performances, lighting up the night with passion and artistry. The grand finale of my day was a sound journey led by Tara Love, whose incredible vocals transported me to another realm. It was a deeply transformative and grounding experience that left me in awe.

My first L.O.V.E.R. wasn’t just an event—it was a journey of self-discovery, community, and celebration. I left feeling rejuvenated, connected, and inspired, already looking forward to the next one.
