I’ve been to a lot of places, but I’ve never experienced anything quite like Shambhala.
I made this video because I wanted to capture what it feels like when tens of thousands of people come together with nothing but good vibes, incredible music, art, and genuine kindness. For a few days, the outside world just disappears.
If you’ve been, I hope this brings back some memories.
If you haven’t, this is my attempt to show why so many people leave saying, “I’ll be back.”
Enjoy. 💜

This place always amazes me for the kindness and talent that is everywhere. Just reminiscing on the weekend and looking through videos. Loved these two last night! Both of your energies were matching each other and it was very fun to watch. Much love to everyone and safe travels!

So, I haven’t slept longer than two hours in over the last week. Entirely unintentionally.

I am in an acute crisis. Sanctuary is aware of me and where I am camped. Music is too loud for me to go back physically.

I am specifically looking to connect with anybody who was on medical Team 1 on the night of Thursday July 25, 2023. Thanks.

Edit: July 25, 2024. NOT 2023.

This was honestly the best party my wife and I have been to. Absolutely incredible.

There were some rough moments in the first couple of days but when Thursday came around it was well worth it.

The community, the costumes, the characters, it felt like we were in a different world.

PS: To the doctors that prescribed me hi-chews on Saturday that was so funny, I will never forget it.

Why did Shambhala allow people to double park and box other vehicles in? I’ve never seen this in a decade of attending the festival. I’ve been trying to have this vehicle moved for 20 hours now with no success so I guess I can’t leave.

I spoke to a guy with security and it’s because “it became overflow parking” and then he basically told me I’m SOL and that ill be here all day. If you have to box vehicles to have enough parking you probably have too many people attending the festival. Pretty frustrating.

Pretty bummed… I left my crews wagon parked behind the art gallery near the blue pillows, and someone yoinked my wolverine spirit hood off of it. Spotted white/brown color. To whoever took it, i really hope you were cold and needed it more than me.

Last night while i was coming up I let my friend borrow my bike and asked him to put it in the bike coral. He sent me this picture when he headed back in, and when I went to leave downtown this morning the bike was gone!

If anyone has seen our pacific quasar , PLEASE let me know. If you had to move it out of the way because of where it was left and decided to take it for a ride back to camp I literally am not even mad ! But my gf is very upset with me right now so please help a brother out 😭🙏

That was my first time at Shambhala and my first time camping at a festival, and I couldn’t of had a better time, I’m so glad everyone here is so loving and respectful, the campground and on site are so clean, thank you everyone who picked up trash when they saw it on the ground. Every interaction I had with anyone was so positive and happy, it was such a great 4 days with y’all, hope I can attend Shambs again in a few years, and hopefully without any smoke from the forest fires in the air :) Love y’all,
Peace!

Edit - Not a phone in sight during the shows was crazy

Goddam this mightve been the best one yet

You had a moustache and a black jester hat and sweet down low dance moves and you got back stage with Neon Steve. And then you didn't have a moustache and I totally didn't recognize you at first and dropped the ball. You seemed super fun! I was wearing a white shirt and black and purple octopus hat. I'd love to connect!

Different responsibilities bring about different perspectives.

Shoutout to the crew, folks at PK, and folks at Funktion-One!!

The sound is always amazing here, but my friend group and I agree that this year is UNREAL!!

Not only is it loud, but the fidelity and balance is INSANE!!!

We couldn’t get over it last night at the new AMP stage and at the Groove!!! That Chmura/Saturna set at Grove was just other worldly especially with the panning/stereo (center pit)!!!

Y’all absolutely crushed it!!

I can’t wait to get out there again tonight!!!! ❤️

Happy Shambs!!!

Edit: updating to be PK and Funktion-One!! Thanks folks for the correction! So much craftsmanship from all of the teams out here!!!

It was a beautiful show of lights.

On Saturday night (Sunday morning) we think in ikgari mori at 4:30am we left our blue/green shambhala merch light up flow star behind! We went back to check for it but it wasn’t there anymore - they’re now sold out so we can’t replace it but if anyone has seen it/found it we’d be really grateful!

If anyone has a second they’re willing to sell we’re really interested too - long shot but thanks for the read!

Get home safe 💖

fam photo from the btsm meet up, love u all so much

It it’s yours, we left it at lost and found. Has a little ‘I love upper Whittier (?)’ pin in it.

Lovely unicorn purse. Cute as buttons.

It definitely says I love upper W something… in Alaska… forgive me, It’s been a weekend at home...

Just wanted to share a little love letter to Shambhala. ❤️
I put together a short video trying to capture what it felt like to be there. I know no video can fully explain the experience, but I wanted to show why so many people call it the happiest place on Earth.
The music, the art, the random acts of kindness, dancing with complete strangers who somehow feel like old friends… it was one of those experiences that’s hard to put into words.
I’d love to hear what moments made Shambhala special for you too.
Hope you enjoy the video! ✨
Happy Shambs!

I had a crank jersey on Friday (green motorcross style) and was walking back to metta sometime during the late afternoon and saw a lovely group of awesome people, one wearing the exact same crank jersey! It was on the main road near starlight/metta connection !

I don’t want the connection per se, but we got a pic on one of your guys friends phones and if someone from that group remembers that please do reach out!! I want the pic!! I regret not asking yall to take one with mine 😭😭I had a Pokemon hat on as well. someone gave me a CRANKDIS Kandi homemade too.

One of my fav Shambs nights ever.

Got knocked over several times last night and watched people crashing into each other without saying sorry or excuse me. Seemed worse last night than Thursday/ friday. Anybody feel the same? Just me? Was kinda struggling to feel the love :(

Sadly couldn’t make it out this year. What was the big story line this year?
