In 2023, Boomtown Festival commissioned Kriya Arts to create the climactic "end room" of their Live Action Role Play (LARP) game, the heart of the festival experience. This unique space became a transformative encounter, brought to life by Jolie and the La Luna Coven, who were woven into the festival's narrative.
As players reached the end room, they arrived in pairs, having discovered the vital lesson that unity between opposing sides—head and heart—was the key. Upon entering, they were cleansed and guided through a profound ritual. Jolie spoke to them about the transformative power of uniting the inner and outer worlds, revealing how this harmony could shape a brighter future where everyone could thrive.
In a moving handfasting ceremony, the priestesses symbolically married the head and the heart, giving each player a timeglass filled with black and white sand. As they mixed the sand together, they were reminded that the game had truly just begun… and the journey was theirs to create.
Opening the Festival in 2024
The excitement only grew in 2024, as La Luna Coven took their participation to new heights. The coven embarked on a sacred pilgrimage, walking from the Isle of Wight to the festival grounds near Winchester. This journey was not just a physical one but a spiritual offering, grounding their intentions in the land itself.
Their pilgrimage culminated in an extraordinary moment: opening the festival in front of 40,000 people. Priestesses graced the main stages, blessing the partygoers, the land, and the festival's visionary creators. They infused the event with a sacred energy, honouring the imagination, connection, and creativity that make Boomtown a truly magical gathering.
This collaboration between La Luna Coven and Boomtown Festival celebrated a shared mission of creating a space that was not only sacred and connected but also alive with joy, wonder, and the limitless potential of collective imagination.
