I have honestly been looking forward to this all year.
Camp. Mendocino. Heaven for anyone who loves Middle Eastern music & dance.
It's a magical place. Those who have been will readily agree. It's impossible to capture the euphoria of a week in the woods with nothing but music and dancing.
A bit of the hippie lifestyle, indeed. But a week without cell phones, computers & a real need for money does any body good.
Oh the music! It's out of this world. From the moment you arrive at camp, there is a rhythm that starts. Something like, "Dum, tek...Dum, Dum, tek". That rhythm continues all throughout the week. It changes tempo, speed, structure. But it is always present. It penetrates every muscle. It makes its way deep into your soul. Magic. Truly.
And the people. What spectacular, loving and fun people! Everyone is bonded and feels a unique kinship with one another...during camp and beyond. I met some fantastic ladies and men last year!
I am not a camper, that's for sure. A week without electricity does take its toll on me. But it's the simple life that reminds us how beautiful the world can be when human beings come together in a loving and peaceful way.
Aah...camp. I'll post pictures when I return.
Xx
