Why everyone should rave at least once

Despite rave culture going mainstream, going out to party the night (or day) away still has a stigma attached. For some, it may be something they never actually experience in their lifetime.

But the benefits of partying and dancing to music can be life-changing. Raving can encourage people to become more rounded human beings, and it can also help shift their world view for the better. Imagine if there were more ravers in politics? With more open minds and inclusive attitudes, the world might be a better place to live. Here’s why everyone should rave at least once in their life.

IT’S A LEVELLER
It doesn’t matter what your background is, on the dance floor we all become one. This feeling of unity can be a humbling experience. Acceptance is a crucial aspect of the human experience that can bring everyone closer together.

PEACE, LOVE, UNITY, RESPECT
The raving community has four core pillars that have been established to ensure the experience is a harmonious one. This is not always the case in everyday life. When you adopt these foundational guidelines, it can have a positive influence on life outside the rave too.

DANCE FLOOR DIVERSITY
In the rave you meet people from all walks of life. The diversity of some parties gives you the opportunity to connect with people you might never meet in day to day life. These connections can help you form a more worldly perspective.

FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION
Spending time in raves, where you can let loose and be whoever you want to be, is a great counterpoint to a world that can often be buttoned-up and judgmental. In clubs and at festivals, you can deepen your relationship with yourself through freedom of expression.

EUPHORIA
The heightened states of consciousness that can occur on the dance floor have the potential to be transformative. Peak experiences like these can cause lasting, positive shifts in the way you behave and navigate the world.
