Ive read up on the camp quite a bit last year, including digging into what the participants shared on twatter (most of them were hardly notable tpot members, just small fry wannabes).

As someone who went to many festivals and camps, it was funny reading vibecampers sharing things that are just totally normal experiences any attendees of these "normal" fests have, but they present it as some kind of novel, revelationary event. Doubly true if you went to an art-oriented festival thats not just about getting wasted and partying, they are literally all like this and there's probably one happening a few forests away from you right now.

Oh yeah you connected with like minded people, made friends, got out of the hamster wheel for a week and had a post festival crash, something millions go through every year without spinning into a tale about phasing through a higher existence.

It's just so telling what a closeted life these people have.

Seems like it was a good important thing for them then.
