The Portal follows an age-old script of a journey, seeking and finding elements we didnt know we were missing. This was ultimately designed to follow many of the elements of a shamanic journey, Comer notes. But dont let yourself be scared off if that doesnt ring your bell; you can relate to the experience on a psychological level instead of a spiritual one, or just let the images and sounds wash over you and then take from it what you will. Previous attendees have described it as psychedelic, mind-clearing, fascinating, a black hole, eye-opening and unlike any show Ive ever seen.
