Hi Hivers,
Thank you for welcoming us to the community and allowing us to express ourselves freely.
We are an Anglo-Japanese couple in our 50s - ravers, artists, therapists, and event organisers. We met in 2015 in Japan when Jell employed Jeff to come and DJ.
We now live in Albania where we touched down in 2021.
We both come from notorious party organisations in our respective countries: Jell has organized raves for over 20 years in Japan and Jeff is from a traveling underground techno sound system that was well known in the 90s - more on that later - MAYBE -
We decided to start on Hive together to document our healing journey and navigate our path in music, dance, healing, and learning gradually about country life, permaculture experiments, foraging, spirituality, well-being and community-building online and in real life in Albania where we touched down during the Covid era.
In 2020 we met up in Goa again and after an enlightening couple of weeks of partying and performing, meeting new people we moved to Cambodia for a gig.
Our return flights were canceled - thank you Covid - and we were forced to stay for about 16 months. A life-changing experience!
We met an amazing new international family from all backgrounds and organized community events where we met a new tribe of open-minded, awake-party people who don’t take any shit. Smoked Changa alone in Lockdown in an ancient temple with monkeys running around. Trained in facilitating Kambo healing , trained in reiki and did a shamanic ceremony at the exact time of the alignment in front of Jupiter and Saturn in 2020.
Jeff remains a DJ and his taste in cutting-edge electronic music from all over the spectrum has kept him far away from the mainstream and their satanic ritual events. Since his introduction to healing performing music has given him a new mission to heal via music and hold space where people can take a more introspective healing approach to raving that is more straight-edged . The name DJ pisses him off as it has become so cliche nowadays that everyone and mothers and fathers are at it. He prefers to see himself as more of a vibrational healer believing sound and light are divine.
We are here to share our experiences and learn from you, hopefully gathering hive to forward community projects and open-source events. We will speak our truth - take us or leave us ;)
We want to move towards starting a conscious community and organising events that will enable us and others to heal and move forward into positively navigating the changing world and helping others do the same.
All this sounds very serious doesn’t it? But we are two 18-year-old cutting-edge anarcho hippie raver cyberpunks in a mid-50-year-old body up for a great laugh. We are still party people and feel at home like that.
So hold on to your hats on the roller coaster of music, healing, farming, and a good laugh with conspiracy rants and TRUTH all the way.
Let's not forget Luna who has grown up now but that's another story.
