FireLight 🔥 An Enchanted Village of Lovers

Something I’ve come to understand after performing live as Boodananda at various festivals and concerts for the last 18 months, is that he’s actually an education tool disguised as a musical comedy act. I’ve written and spoken extensively about the nuances of safe containers, facilitation and bad incentives, but the reality is most beginners aren’t reading my 5,000 word essays so that’s mostly useful other facilitators and community organizers. Boodananda speaks to a completely different audience. He’s entertaining, bizarre and ridiculous (also has a nice singing voice 😛). Instead of me on stage preaching about taking responsibility, Boodananda is out in the crowd (literally) demonstrating all the red flags of predatory and unethical teachers. I believe the only way we collectively move on from the type of gaslighting, manipulation, coercion and predatory harms that is all-too-common in the world of sacred sexuality is by people becoming more resilient. We’re never going to be able to hunt down all the bad apples (doesn’t mean we shouldn’t try), but we can definitely inoculate the new people by educating them and showing them what to watch out for. For the first time, at this festival, I’m leading a session the day after Boodananda’s performance I’m calling “Boodananda Aftercare”. It will be a discussion with me and the audience that functions as a sort of “behind the actors studio”. That’s my chance to put words to and get nerdy about how we can protect ourselves from the kinds of harmful character traits that Boodananda displays. On a personal level, the chance for me to get to be a musician, comedian, performer and public intellectual all in the same festival is deeply satisfying! It’s like an orgasm of personal expression. I rarely get to do all those things at once. Catch me at Firelight this year as both Dave & Boodananda 🔥

Dear followers of the light, as many of you know — I will be gracing the stage at this year's @firelight.love Festival I asked my Chaturanga Goddess Portal of Transcendence to envision what it will be like, and she delivered me this incredible rendering of what I will manifest. Some of you may see this and ask, "so is the festival all women"? If I'm a man is there room for me? The answer is maybe. I'll be honest, I'm going to bring my full masculine power, and often that takes up all the man-space in the room. It's science. I will however, make room for a few men who are aligned and willing to sing along with all of my songs. This could be your chance to see me, live. Don't miss it. Prices go up May 12th. firelight.love for tickets
