electric forest 2023: story time + recap/review

[@HappyHales]

“I am safe and secure” being the e only affirmation left is crazy. Forest is such a magical place ❤❤❤❤❤ I hope I get to meet you this year ❤

[@KingPLUR]

Almost cried at the affirmation story ! Festivals are amazing for that but I've heard forest is extra special for synchronized moments of clarity ❤ I'm so glad yall got to experience something so beautiful and reassuring ❤

[@meganalittlebit]

When you talked about the bowl with the affirmations and the synchronicity I knew what was coming and as soon as you said it I just cried and cried. What a special way for the Forest to confirm how special and safe it really is.

[@fit2rave]

Your story about Grant 🥲🥹💗 So glad that happened for him!

[@vibewithade]

Had the best time with you 😭 can't wait to see you for EZoo weeee!!!

[@celestetheturtle]

So happy for ade seeing how big the crowd was for her was amazing

[@grantrogers9966]

Im so grateful to have gotten to experience the weekend with yall 💜

[@MichelleOKitty]

Thank you for posting this video about your experience. I've been wanting to go to forest for a while now. I appreciate all of the detail you added in your video. Super helpful. After watching this, I'm definitely going to make it happen. Thank you!⚡🌲

[@ilyssar9900]

thank you for your words at the end. this was my first forest and tbh i left feeling a little upset about the lack of photos/videos i got. but i had an AMAZING weekend and i know that i can instead be grateful that i was present and truly enjoying every moment.⚡🌲

[@starkeyacombs85]

Hi! I would love to have a video about renting a RV. I am clueless! Lol

[@Schlippy]

Seriously, the synchronicity of electric forest is something I have never experienced before. I kept saying the whole weekend that there was some weird “shared consciousness” that was happening. It truly is magical, sacred even. I can’t explain it.

[@BrookeYoder]

⚡🌲🤗 This was my first year at Forest. It was an absolute dream and hands down the best festival experience I've ever had. It was awesome to finally meet you! (At string cheese). I was an absolute wreck at Ade's intention setting workshop and hearing your story about Grant had me bawling all over again. 😭 Sorry to hear about the delay getting back home, but from what I gather it was still was totally worth the experience. I'm happy to hear that you've committed to always letting this be the festival that is just for you and no vlogging. ❤️❤️❤️ Happy Forest! ✌️

[@BebeHowell]

🖤🖤

[@LivinLargewithLCruu]

girl I also cried at that story again!! what an whirlwind of emotions over the weekend

[@jo_eargasm]

Ilysm 🥺💜 I'm so so happy I finally got to meet you, one of my favorite creators of ALL TIME, IRL! 🥰

[@GodlessFiend]

You are so lucky Bebe😤, getting to go to festivals like this(and lost lands which I just got done watching day 1 vlog and 2 of) meanwhile, I’m still stuck at my apartment just watching Vlogs like this wishing I was there. I wish I could afford to go to festivals like this. It has nothing to do with the fact that I’m 31 but it has to do with the fact that I’ve never been to any festival like this, including lost lands. If only I wasn’t so broke😢, and I could afford at least one festival ticket like this. Anyways, enough of me, glad to see you had a great time 😭 Final thing: the only time I can experience something this awesome would be just thru my headphones and on Spotify 😭

[@LivinLargewithLCruu]

I think you still did a great job capturing the forest!! thank you for sharing all of your stories - the intention thing blew my mind!! but the forest really does provide, it is a very special place. you are a star - keep doin you!

[@kendall27277]

Omg how did I miss this? Love the story about your friend at Ade’s workshop, and it was so cool getting to meet you and Garret after it!

[@prestoanomaly]

Happy Forest! ⚡🌲 Glad you had a good time & were able to disconnect. The magic is truly unparalleled.

[@marlowalexander7677]

I’m not a content creator, but I took maybe 20 pics/videos (Tuesday-Monday). Vibes this year were TOP TIER and I kept forgetting that my phone even existed. What a wonderful feeling. I’m glad you’re not going to vlog Forest anymore. Everyone deserves to disconnect and just have fun. ⚡️🌲

[@saintsgonesouth]

I love this for you ❤ has me so excited to experience shambhala’s healing magic in a couple weeks

[@AnnKaminski]

⚡🌲 I'm so glad I went up to say hi to you at the LB meetup. Like me, you looked so relaxed and at peace. The Forest heals and provides. This year was so amazing.

[@AlexHernandez-mw2nj]

⚡️🌲 So so happy you had a great forest 🥹🫶🏽im hoping next year I can finally make it into the forest fingers crossed !!

[@MeechSmokes]

⚡️ 🌲 I loved this video! I can relate so much. This was my first forest and I hope to be back so much. Thank u for all the stories and such. Ugh such a good ass time

[@EmilyAnneMarie]

I went to beyond, and they had this same level of security. Going to bass canyon and really hope to see the security upped.

[@ragesagerepeat]

⚡️🌲 so glad you got the healing you were looking for at Forest! ⚡️🌈⚡️

[@briannachapman5360]

So glad the forest was healing!!⚡️🌲

[@ryanboutr7756]

I thought this forest was gonna be just for you, no vlog at all? But god damn what a journey! Glad you made it back home. I cant believe that happened to you, at least you have garrett and were not alone

[@BebeHowell]

i didn't vlog - just took some quick clips here and there of moments i wanted to capture for myself :)

[@ryanboutr7756]

@BebeHowell you right, it was just a review video 😃 I had an awesome time too. I even brought goggles for the dust. Definitely bring goggles! Lol

[@rayk1955]

You NEED to do Hulaween! I'm sure you have been told this a lot haha Very similar vibes

[@BebeHowell]

yessss lots of people have told me this!

[@linliosa]

The spirit of forest appears to me like the one you can experience at the big psytrance gatherings here in EU, Ozora or Boom... maybe you have a chance one day to check these festivals out although they seem to be sooo different from festivals in US :)

[@AuraLifewithAsh]

⚡️🌲so glad Forest so was cleansing for you!!!

[@christykay3863]

Loved this recap! 🎉❤

[@bibianarodriguez9953]

⚡️🌲 you make me wanna go to forest SO BAD next year ! Might have to do ittt

[@LunaticWithALicense]

Tickets go on sale soon...!

[@gaetanoreeder7003]

⚡ 🌲 glad you got to enjoy Forest in it's entirety!

[@JU1CEME]

I was in my crocks the whole time and walked over 70 miles for that weekend... 100% worth it. I was in Sherwood Good Life camping tent only area and loved it. I could only imagine the amount of walking I would have done if I was in GA.

[@ashleymedds]

so happy for you that you had the best experience!! 🥹⚡️🌳

[@evantut]

Leo, Michelle, Yvette and myself went into the Dream Emporium for a moment on Friday and we had to leave because the girls were like "hell no!" Bahaha 😂 Its always such a pleasure running into you and Garrett. Hoping to see you both back in the Forest next year!! ⚡️🌲

[@Ptrip42]

⚡️ 🌳 love your channel Bebe, I went to forest in 2018 and it was the most magical weekend i’ve ever experienced. Hoping I can make it back one of these years! Sounds like you had a fuckin blast

[@allydavis8804]

First forest and learned a lot!! Mainly… if your group’s falling apart… let it! forest is too short to be stressed and for me this year it was four days of stressssss. bittersweet listening to everyone’s fun stories 😅

[@arlananacnac4199]

Sometimes walking away and prioritizing your sanity( whether it be alone or with one person with the same intentions) is VERY much worth it. You paid too much to let anything or anyone ruin your weekend. 💕wish you the best for your next fest! From someone who learned the hard way as well.

[@BebeHowell]

so sorry to hear, hope you're able to give it another go with a better group 🥲

[@TheMisfitOreo]

So happy I got to meet you! ⚡️🌲

[@melodyisstoned]

Being one of the people at Beyond this year, the part about the bowls and the affirmations made me wanna cry, I really need to go to Forest sometime.

[@BebeHowell]

hope you are doing okay since then 🖤

[@_Klynna]

⚡️🌲 I just saw Illenium and his live set this weekend, it was honestly my favorite show I’ve been to 🙌🏻

[@Will_Feigel]

Looked at thumbnail, then video length, fo fo fuh forty minutes, we all here for it.

[@Will_Feigel]

Great recap, and total respect to not vlogging, gotta enjoy the moment mostly lol

[@davidv.388]

Happy Forest ⚡🌲

[@remleek8676]

This single-handedly made me wanna do forest ⚡️🌲

[@tresdinMusic]

forest is a special place. you need to do it at least once.

[@LIVINGBYTHEFWORD]

It was a happy Forest indeed!!! So glad to see you guys and very happy to hear about your experience this year. And yeah dude that was NOT a SCI shebang!! Me and my friends were like WTF 😭 My only guess is all the budget that went into a new Ranch because this was the first time in 10 years Ranch got updated with lasers and stage design, plus Tripolee, Dream Emporium etc.. I feel like they cut it (shebang props) because of all that which made me sad. Still a great set though, love SCI ❤EDIT : ⚡🌲

[@BebeHowell]

we'll just have to return yet again to give it another try 🤣

[@CRAIGMASTER2]

⚡🎄 first video of yours that I've watched! Im not sure Forest is the right fit for me i tend to prioritize the music and i was kind of let down with the production overall. I didnt check out any of the installations though which i somewhat regret. I also regret not focusing more on seeing the smaller artists like i said i was going to do. But overall it was a really chill weekend aside from the storm.

[@BebeHowell]

you definitely need to check out all of the art installations and experiential aspects of the festival -- that to me is where the value is, not the music!

[@rosee784]

What kind of chair did he have? I'd love to bring one but i heard they won't let them past security.

[@hurricaneraver]

[@frankramirez4818]

I girl I know from a Professional Club got stranded in New York and her car was in San Diego. She ended up flying to LAX. We live in Temecula. Which is a Wine Tasting distanation.

[@cvm6854]

People get upset if someone doesn’t vlog a festival?? That’s weird to say the least.

[@Mikeb8134]

none of my friends ever want to go... so I don't. Thanks for the recap!

[@BebeHowell]

solo it! tons of solo travellers attend :)

[@BrookeYoder]

100% second what Bebe said... You would get so much out of it going solo!

[@jcollins198]

You should not vlog every electric forest as a spiritual festival reset. You need a pattern break sometimes.

[@Ichgochan11]

⚡️🏕

[@jessica_paige]

If I can’t sit and chill at a festival, I don’t want it 😅

[@whooasia]

⚡️ 🌲 💚

[@johns6177]

seems electric forest will always clash with gay pride in nyc. one year i'll have to give up pride to try it out .

[@amandaford2741]

Love you decided to not vlog and take it in

[@DaveMichaelRichardson]

Sounds like u had a lot of nice intentions and a nice time but this video without the vlog was just meh.

[@BebeHowell]

sorry that you feel that way and can't see the beauty and benefits of me disconnecting for the first time in 4 years. there will always be vlogs of various festivals in the future to enjoy as per usual ✌

[@curlyravercami9529]

The story with Grant omg he deserves all the good things! 🩷 Let’s run it back next year!! I’ll be ready hahaha

[@curlyravercami9529]

Ahhh I keep forgetting you guys aren’t going because of TML 😭😭
