Beloved Festival 2009

The 2nd Annual Beloved Festival deserves accolades for being one of the sweetest festivals I have ever attended. Situated in the coastal forest just inland from Waldport, Oregon, the 1000 or so attendees were treated to luscious sacred art and music for four days and nights. Comparing the event to Burning Man, since I did not make it to Black Rock City in 2009, I could not help but think about how much nicer being in the forest is than being in the desert. The musical line up was very much similar to the line up we had heard from our neighbors the Hookah Dome on the Esplanade the year previous at Burning Man 2008.  I used my little Panasonic Lumix to record a few shaky videos here and there that I will share on this page…
