The cosmic alignment of the Sacred Earth is a remarkable indicator of the transformation to global awakening. As we liberate ourselves from the impermanent nature of conditional existence and connect with the meta-consciousness of Gaia – transpersonal and psychedelic experiences become apparent. We arrive at an understanding of transcendental reality – thus freeing ourselves from an education system that teaches us only to be slaves. So we feel complete in our connection with Gaia during this cosmic alignment as the spontaneous emergence of genuine humanitarian and ecological interests materialize. At Boom, we are recognizing the increasing need to play a proactive role in contributing to peaceful coexistence and the wellbeing of humanity and all sentient beings. We are delighted that our cosmic call is being received with such positivity on the terrestrial realm by experts and activists around the world seeking to help fulfill this common goal. It’s been an incredible year so far: From winning the Outstanding Greener Festival Award in 2010, to more recently achieving the European Festival Award for “Clean n’ Green Festival 2010”. As the only independent, no-logo entity to win the latter, we dedicate this award to all of you Boomers, to our wonderful team, and to the cosmos that has guided us in these steps to return to the Sacred Earth, all that She has given to us.
