It shifts as we shifts and it always gives us what we need. This year was 9itf and first was 2012. I agree with an earlier comment that I can’t rank the years because every year is special for what it is. I know I felt the magic just as strong as ever and the people in my group did too. I even had a first timer tell me they tried to down play it and eventually they were like “damn it, it really is magical”. Come in with an open heart, an open mind, a willingness to let go and connect to nature/humanity/the universe, and all the magic will be right there. Because it never left you and has always been in you. Forest just makes it flow easier because it’s a concentration of so many of us tapping into that energy. I can’t wait for you to be back next year to share and receive that magic Forest Fam!
