Report from the Waterlilies Gathering, Hungary, 2016

Personal statement: First of all, thank you so much that you expressed your will to gather with us in a new country! We all know about the political situation in some eastern countries and some of you also expressed their concern about the current LGBTIQ situation. But we all are healers and we want to enjoy ourselves around this magical lake. People will understand if they have the chance to know us better. We try to be pioneers and will spread the Faerie spirit! We are ONE tribe wherever we are, even in our diversity. We will be in a rather safe space in this campsite and in this town which lives of tourists (for them we are). We will have a wonderful gathering if we focus on our healing skills. We all have to have in mind this gathering is NOT a regular event and it is NOT a matter of course that it will happen again in Hungary. It also depends if it is accepted and appreciated by you and the Faeries in the neighbouring countries and if we and all participating Faeries and friends can feel your love and spirit in your physical presence.

How can I find words for something that I do not want to describe because it left me so harmonious and so beautiful. I wish all of you could make this experience yourself. It’s the first time ever that I don’t feel a bit exhausted after a gathering that I organized and that I don’t feel strange when I enter again civilisation. I could delve into another world I did not know before. I feel like woven into a cocoon of soft glittering wool and fairy dust, which went into my brain and through my blood. But in fact, it is a world of real elements, it is the world of water and colours in combination, a world of flowers and waterlilies and mud and I feel just peace in me. It is the first gathering where I have nearly been more inside than outside water or it at least feels like that. I felt like a Neptune baby after Sky waved me gently into the uterus of my mother. After having lost my fear of water I first became a dolphin and a whale and then a mermaid. I could hear real giant whales singing under the water after Geo has waved my floating body to his lungs. I could see and feel the power and spirit of the pinkest waterlilies who rise higher and more gaily forward out of the water than any other flower I ever saw before. I feel more like I spent a week in Hawaii than in an eastern European country. I still see so many colours in my mind and my spirit is so satisfied even though we only had one big heart circle. I felt like I have performed a new life as flowers although we had no Know Talent Show. I feel gratitude and I feel “that’s what friends are for” more than ever. I got to know wonderful new Faeries and Pixies whatever gender they are. I find no words to criticise anything because all was too much paradise for me. We had enough time to balance conflicts, to give the new ones time to find harmony again after overwhelming emotions and we all left as mutual friends. We spent most of the time in total green environment and muddy water, alt-ough it was an urban gathering. We ate great food and felt hospitality although we could hear that some tourists left the space after we – the giggling and each other touching “rats” – have entered the mud pool. But in the end we spread lots of healing Faerie energy to all the people around us and into the waterlilies channels. While floating each other in shimmering and muddy water all started to do the same. From the first moment amid my waterlilies I did not want to be anywhere else in the world. Floating with other Faeries in the most beautiful nature – what else can I wish for?

Das Gathering in Ungarn war super. Wir haben bewiesen, dass es auch im öffentlichen Raum möglich ist, wenn wir uns an die üblichen Gesellschaftsregeln halten und dass es sogar in einem autoritär geführten osteuropäischen Land möglich ist. Wir habe nun vor, nächstes Jahr erstmals ein Faerie Gathering in Rumänien zu organisieren, in Siebenbürgen: Das “Dracula-Gathering” bei Kronstadt, Transsilvanien, im August 2017

The Gathering in Hungary was great. We have proved that it is possible even in public places, if we stick to the usual social rules and that it is possible even in an authoritarian Eastern European country. We now have plan to organize next year for the first time a Faerie Gathering in Romania, in Transylvania: The “Dracula Gathering” at Kronstadt in August 2017 (before or after the Global Gathering in Fatherstone)
