The Most Amazing Party That Ever Was
Hello, I've neglected my blog recently, but my weekend was so good I had to make time to write about it and share it with someone. Friday night went to Synergy project (big conscious raising club night), that was alright, not as good as I hoped it would be but nonetheless an experience. Jamie and I drove to Brighton on Saturday night as he was playing a gig for our good friend Elliot on Sunday. Our friend Nemo had put us on the guestlist for a party on Saturday night, but not knowing anything about it, I wasn't very excited....But my mood changed completely at midnight as we arrived on the doorstep of a mansion, greeted with free food and drink for the whole evening and the happiest, most positive energy you could ever hope to feel at such an event!! PLUS there was a swimming pool and jacuzzi in the basement!!!
Beautiful vegetarian food, cooked by the Vindoo Babas that fed the 500 plus people at this gathering, free drink all night, live music, caberet, animations, trance room, an indian boudoir, skinny dipping, sauna, live dance music, massive garden, big comfy sofas for those more horizontally inclined..... and there were 'no smoking' and 'no drinking red wine' signs around the three story party and everyone, overwhelmed with the generosity of the hosts, freely obeyed these requests as you felt complete respect and gratitude to these people kind enough to let you into their home and make you feel at home in their £4 million house. Unbelievable.
To me, (who generally has issues with parties:) parties, in general are hedonistic nightmares where people go, get smashed out their faces and usually end up regretting something in the morning..that might be fine for some people but I usually feel that there is a tension in the air, people pushing everything to the extreme and not in a good way, temporary highs that don't achieve much other than a hangover. Even parties that claim to be raising consciousness sometimes miss the point and instead of raising collective energy, acutally end up on the same hedonistic trip as the culture they claim to be avoiding.
This party, just being as it was, never puporting to be anything else, had more soul, more integrity and a more unifying energy between peoples than anything I have ever been to of this nature. I am sure this all came down to the hosts giving of themselves and what they have so generously that it inspired a sense of wellbeing, friendliness and joy in everyone there. No one took the piss, they inspired respectfulness through their own giving. It was like a modern day parable. I was completely blown away by this night. Elliot, Jamie and I had a ball and we can't stop talking about it :) So thankyou to the people who were mad and generous enough to let us into their house.
Photos of the party to end all parties will be up on this blog as soon as I get them off Jamie's camera. Everyone needs to see these photos so you all know how to conduct parties of your own in the future!
