At first, it was a bit strange that there wasn’t much mobile reception and internet at #ozora festival, but now it feels like it’s part of the experience. I can only share this because I had to head out for a day. I’m really looking forward to coming back to this wonderful place 😻

It’s been two weeks since the Ozora Festival, and I’m still reluctant to take off my wristband. Ozora really touched me, in a way that surprised me. It was my first time, and all I was hoping for was some dancing, but it turned out to be so much more—a transformative experience that’s inspiring me to change my life, open up, and live a fuller life.

Ozora really changed me in a way I didn’t expect. Obviously, it’s partly because I stepped away from my usual life, the daily grind, and reconnected with nature, going offline, letting go of any plans or agendas, just becoming a bit of a nobody for a while. It felt quite light!

And of course, music was a huge part of Ozora! Since I was feeling lighter, music really connected with me on a deeper level. It was all about the music, the listening, the dancing, getting in sync with the beats, and becoming one with everything. I’d get goosebumps a lot, and sometimes even tears. (Just so you know, I didn’t drink alcohol or do drugs.) And it wasn’t just dance music! There were seven music stages, and some of the best music was ambient and downtempo.

Another aspect that surprised me in Ozora was the community’s atmosphere. It had this amazing, laid-back hippie vibe, some of the legacy of the 1960s counterculture. While a bit less harsh, it still had that original spark of questioning everything—our society, our culture, our everyday lives, the current political stuff, social media, and so on. It felt so good talking with people I’d never met before. I definitely felt like I belonged here.

Needless to say, I’m already looking forward to visiting Ozora next year. ☺️
