I’ve been thinking about going to a festival for the first time ever. No idea which one, maybe the Gathering For Life in BC. I don’t think my shyness will take a full weekend there though. So torn. I know there are a lot of good festivals, just getting to them is difficult and more importantly, coming out of the closet that I’ve lived in for so long. I think I must be missing practicing with others, even if it’s just for a ritual rather than all the time.

Go for sure. The feeling of freedom to worship and be yourself amongst like-mindeds cannot be overstated. It’s wonderful.
Go for a day, and if you feel sorry to go at the end of that day, well, there’s next year! Don’t commit to a whole weekend.
Check out the site for the festival – it may have an attached blog or forum or chatroom. You could join and make some contacts prior to going – someone to look out for!
I hope you have a wonderful time – bright blessings!
