It's been only four days since we were all together, but right now it's as if I can close my eyes and you are all still next to me if I only reach my hand out! This event was more meaningful than most due to the sheer quantity of transformation I was honored to witness. Thank you for allowing yourself to be vulnerable and become More. It's scary, and I was proud of the support and love the entire family gave. To quote Dev, "You saw Dev, for Dev, and let me be me." You are definitely all folx I hope to get to know more fully. However, if I don't, I know I was privileged to be in the presence of this group as we slipped the time stream to exist in a parallel dimension if only for a moment. (It was so weird to drive again.)

My personal goal was to create an atmosphere where people could drop the everyday mask they use between themselves and the world, even within their minds. A place so accepting that you could see your whole self for the first time and say, "Damn, I like me! All of me." I believe we spend so much time sorting ourselves as humans over aspects we have no control over and that those, ultimately, are the smallest real percentage of who we can be. Humanity uses these things to hurt each other. I dream of seeing each other's greatness, holding each other up before we fall, and teaching each other what we already know deep inside. We are each incredible! We are simultaneously unique and the same. We are one together but separate. We can be creative and build on each other's ideas. Not to steal but to help us all be MORE! Always giving credit to those who came before, struggling through a different paradigm but setting the stage for the next to come as we shall do now for those turning their attention our direction.

One person said, "But I'm only six years in. I'm still a baby. I still get mentors!" Of course you do! But you are now a journeyman, no longer an apprentice. It's time to teach those coming in all that hard-won wisdom. We had many presenters step up to give varied and distinct options as we know we have a multitude of newer people in our community. We want so badly for you all to experience success and to know just how versatile all these play options are. How deep you can go safely and be prepared for it.

I personally had a great deal of fun teaching my classes. Especially when someone exclaimed during my Energy Play class, "Oh my God, it's real!" I loved doing some intense energy work with a few special people ready to move to the next level and read a bit of tarot. It was awesome being around so many energy workers and readers! 

I reveled in all the lovely compliments I heard about other presenters and super volunteers! I sincerely love seeing people succeed and that special smile on their face as they glow. The Talent Show was one of the best I've been involved in. The Saturday Flee Market was sweet and the Thursday Tastings incredible as I watched the self-discovery process. I wish I could have seen the Saturday night event. I need to hear your stories. I went back to my tent to change and fell asleep on the floor. When I woke up, it was quiet. LMAO! I meditated and climbed in my sleeping bag.

High points were getting to meet Seq and Auto whom I've known for two years but never met in person. I also made a new DJ buddy! The Wicked Wordplay writers let loose at the Talent show! Wowza! I'm so proud of how my team stepped up and into any issues that came up. And the Rock Game—reminding that same beautiful team to have fun!

Keep using the Frolic Discord whenever a memory comes up…and maybe we'll have a mid-year reunion…inside!

Love, Turtle
