Posted on December 10, 2022 15 Comments

Ravers are the Experts: Party Animals
Posted on December 9, 2022 15 Comments
Ravers are friendly people and it goes without saying that no-one loves animals (and aliens) with more intensity than us.

True psytrancers only rave in nature, in close contact with all the species of this planet (and other realms). And who […]

Proper ravers make the best dance floors in the world, and everywhere: From tiny dance floors in livings rooms and secret dance floors in the forests to cosmic dance portals for tens of thousands of people like The Dance Temple at Boom or Turmbühne at Fusion.

So, we have established that ravers are always right and thus probably the most highly evolved species on this planet (along with dolphins, the ravers of the sea). If we, the ravers, were only completely in charge, the future would be so bright. So magnificently bright that we would have to wear sunglasses to stare […]
