Festival of Lies...
I’ve been wanting to talk to you about festivals for a while :-)…
What are they?
In olden days when the world was green, people who lived naturally of the land in small communities, would get together to celebrate the various changes of the season, the harvest of Nature's bounty and the joy of just being together...
They held festivals for this and it was done by "the people" themselves as a pure celebration of shared culture and social togetherness.
Happy Lughnasadh!

Let’s talk about the weather part 13
(WARNING: loooong chronically serious Shaman Sic bloggy with added humorous ranting)
So… Birthday done… thank YOU so much for all the well wishes!, you guys are great! :-) it made me smile and filled me with good vibes.
I had a great day and now I’m officially older and wiser…hahaahaaa!
Happy Birthday!
I was born on two o'clock in the afternoon during a massive heatwave which reached up till 32 degrees centigrade (that was considered very hot in those days)
Today my birthday has come around again and we're sweltering under 38degrees Centigrade now (keeping cool under the garden hose)... and it's considered normal...
But fuck it!, no matter for now!
It's ma birthday!
Hmmmm?
What's he thinking about?
Any ideas?

Decluttering-the very very hardest parts....
We have moved on from sorting out our books and our clothing and (yes!) our instruments to decorations and those little things you keep in a drawer somewhere because you just can't get yourself to throw it away. Now we have been given many many gifts from YOU during all those years. Some have been eaten, smoked and drank, others remained with us for a long time until broken or moving on in different ways, others stayed on our home Altar and will stay there for a long time....but today I found this one. This tiny girl adored me to bits and made this together with her mother. I think I got it about 6 or more years ago (it has no date)...but I guess little Laila is now much less little. So....if you know or are Laila, post a picture! I would love to see how she turned out.
And it would be nice for her to know I still have this.
Children's gifts are priceless, so is their honesty. Being adored by children means they mean it so you must be doing something right.

How much stuff do we really need? (Packing the Stennystudio part:1)
We're packing up all our belongings to put into storage untill we find a new home... we're gonna be homeless for a while because we've sold our safe little house in the forest, and we are now embarking on a life of adventure on the road; yeah! ;-)
But first... we have to pack up all our "belongings"
But when you come to look upon all the crap that you have collected over the years, we find ourselves wondering:
"How much do we actually NEED to live?"
Yurts are way cool; Tiny House Power!
We're visiting our very sweet and long time OMNIA fans Renate and Dirk of More for Yurts to look at their amazingly beautifull and very comfortable OMNIA-themed Yurt on their own little piece of paradise in Holland.
Wow! We had no idea yurts could be made so beautifully! Hand built in Mongolia and Covered in swirlies, symbols and animal / plant carvings... we need one!
When we create our own "World of Omnia", we'll be sure to get a few cool yurts from them, so that maybe YOU could come and visit us? :-)

Podcast!
If you speak Dutch, check out this podcast 'May I ask you something'; an interview about our lives past and present by Arvid Buit, our old friend who is nowadays an executive Coach but toured with us years back as a light designer and who is one of the most amazing, lovely, cynical and talented people we might know. Sorry for the non-Dutch speakers, maybe someone can help you translate ;-)
Enjoy!
Check it out here!
One Love!
From the Africa Festival!
We're just doing our duty, Enjoying life, grooving to good vibes and meeting cool people...
How are YOU doing today?
Greenthingz and Musick
