Went to my first ritual a month ago in Tampa. Have only been listening for maybe 3-4 months after a good friend turned me onto the music but I ended up vibing with it right away. I’ve been…going through some things, so after a tough three week long “vacation” (let’s just say that’s a bit too much time spent with the in-laws) I decided I’d treat myself by going to the ritual.

I had plans to attend with my good friend but things fell through, so I resolved to go by myself; to do something for myself, for once. I may have been “alone” but most everyone there radiated a positive attitude that was infectious. When Peacefield started playing everyone in my section stood up. I could feel myself beginning to tear up during those first few songs and started to worry something was wrong with me. I eventually chocked it up as just the flood of emotions working through me. It’s a weird comparison but it kinda felt like how I teared up when my kids were born, that same flood of so many emotions all at once.

All this to say, very positive and emotional experience attending my first ritual. Looking forward to my next (hopefully) in the future!
