Extensive report about the magical gathering at Palenque, Mexico by Omananda

On spring equinox when we arrived in Palenque, I experienced some
weird strange phenomenon and I was not the only one! Waves of Energy,
almost made me fall to the ground, by me loosing the balance. They were
like waves of sound and time changes happened during that. This was the
arrival feeling that I felt for about 2 hours. I was a bit baffled
about that, not knowing what to make of it. However, when I spoke to a
Native American Shaman he said he felt that too when he got here … he
said that they are waves of portal energy, the Earth making love.
So; here is a quick but thorough report on the Zuvuya Gathering #3
that is presently happening in the epic Maya Site of Palenque, until
this Monday. Monkey is putting on this event with a crew of Rainbow
Warriors and excellent Goddesses who are working in a devotional and
reliable manner, covering shifts to organize the various different
Party Zones that stretch all over the beautiful land that has a direct
view of the tomb of Pacal Votan, who rests in peace in the Temple-Ruins
of Palenque, Mexico, Chiapas. Leon, the owner of the party-site is also
called Devananda. He is connected to the vision of the Eagle and the
Condor and he has rightfully not only trusted the real love-based
efforts of Rocko, Monkey and their beautiful female counterparts who
proof to be capable to pull something this amazing together, simply
because they believe that they can do it.
Only being the first day into the festival, already on Main Stage
we find beautifully decorated art-sculptures by famous decorators who
have worked with the BOOM-Festival, Sea of Dreams, Shambala and other
successful world known celebrations. Many musicians and artists came
mainly from Canada, California, and Mexico. There is plenty of great
camping here and the artists are all hosted in cabañas in the near-by
jungle palace. Food and Drinks are provided via Rainbow kitchens to
volunteers, workers, and artists in abundance. With positive attitude,
anything can be done.

There are no alcohol sales onsite, which keeps this event out of
trouble in many ways, especially energetically. Last night the party
started with a sacred fire-circle that was lit by a local brujo (witch)
and African drummers who showed up in the right time. They played great
tribal rhythms with some people naked dancing around the fire. Thank
god, not like in the BOOM, where I had to witness in 2006 people being
kicked out of the festival instead of being cared for when they were
too high, according to the judgement of the organizers and in that
particular instant a naked nice person was dropped off at the
"anti-BOOM" across the lake where people spent their time making
another FREE festival. These are kids who are not admiteed. At Zuvuya3
people really could safely be themselves and also let go of also and I
find that crucial to party environments.

However, after that fire was lit, a magic theatre with a medicine wheel
made by Authentic Native North-American Denee, commonly known as Hopi,
and Mexican Shamans made 13 woman represent the 13 lunar month and 28
men the days of the lunar cycle. Other people *200 in total in that
ceremony symbolized the energy of the 52 weeks of the solar year. They
all circled around each other, chanting mantras and prayers, before the
main sound came on. This was exactly I found was missing in so many
parties, a unity ceremony that made simple sense. Also in this prayer,
the prphecy of the Eagle and the Condor was in harmony with this event
and the spirits of the land were asked for permission to create the
party here.

Proper opening and closing ceremonies in trance rituals with everyone
in camp being present is quite necessary for an evolving party culture
that does not want to fall into darkness and drug abuse. The effect of
this opening ritual was cosmic unity right from the beginning, without
the ingestion of any drugs, although some people really did enjoy the
traditionally used local mushrooms that seem to grow all over the
fields around us, but those are sacred medicines anyways.
