Thank you for your S.U.N.shine!

Here are some words from Boom Shankar regarding the S.U.N. Festival experience along with one of his photos of the Solar Circle stage...nothing more to add! :)

"I think I never experiences so much love, shared so many smiles, seen so much sunshine in the eyes of others, hugged so many of my friends and experiences such a bliss then in the last week! Fulfilled, amazed, blessed, jaw-dropped, uplifted and fully connected - that"s how I feel after a week at S.U.N. Festival! This gathering was simply beyond words, it was capturing the essence of what the Psychedelic Trance scene is all about, lifting it even up a level to a state I would consider nearly perfect! My deepest respect goes out to the whole family, to all tribes, collectives and individuals who made this gathering of Solar United Natives happen (...) Playing my sunrise set on Sunday was epic, what an energy, what a connection, thank you all for your energy and full power dancing...I couldnt stop smiling with all you lovely people on the floor! (...)



There are a thousand more things running through my mind and heart right now, but I guess it will take a while until I will fully understand what the sun happened there! But one thing is clear to me: this was one of the best festivals ever and its just the beginning....I cant imagine what will come next! I am truly honored to be a part of this magical family, of this stunning project and to be connected with all you lovely people without the scene wouldnt be what is is! Solar United Natives, I love you! "

See you next year for the second edition!
