The world is accelerating and theuniverse is calling each one o us

or a change. 2012 is a zenith o allmythologies that have been arising inthe last decades.

The spirit o Boom is unique. It arises asa meeting point o like-minded people

rom all over the world, which convergeto mani est an alternative reality. It is acelebration o intuition, telepathy andhyper-connectivity that resonates arbeyond the simplicity o a just a musicor line-up based estival.

Boom is an intercultural, psychedelic,mul t id i sc ip l ina ry, independen t ,visionary gathering or creation; acentre-point in the universe built oncognitive reedom, ego-dissolutionand where dreams mani es t tobecome reality.

Every two years during the August FullMoon, this gathering o the alternative

tribes o the Sacred Earth contributeto the rejuvenation o a new andsensitive universe using art as a toolo communication, and bridging anancestral tribal knowledge with a

uturistic perspective.

A temporary autonomous zone oree-thinkers based on values that are

the elements o the SPIRIT OF BOOMand will remain orever beyond 2012mythology: peace, art , reedom,awareness and love.

Held in a paradisiacal location thatsurrounds a magni cent lake ound inthe heart o the sunny, unspoilt vistao Portugal, the 9th edition o BoomFestival take place rom July 28th toAugust 4th 2012, and is the peak o acollective wave o trans ormation thatwe all eel within.
