We lovingly called it…Purplepalooza. It was a psychedelic recovery experience; a music festival with an experiential twist. Designed by Ashley Kilpatrick, Purplepalooza embodied sounds, sights, and evoked emotions that tickled the recovery palette. Purple, Inc. clients, alumni, and staff all participated. Even though the rain stopped us from going on at 9 pm like we’d planned, once it got started, everyone soon realized it was well worth the wait. We all knew it would be good for the clients; inspiration through music, a sense of belonging and accomplishment-we never expected to be so inspired ourselves. It was an evening to be remembered!

Friday night was spent cooking out and setting up tents. Saturday, everyone ate breakfast and then headed for a canoe trip through the Okefenokee. The alligators were out, so thankfully, everyone returned intact. That night, we took everyone out to eat and then returned to camp for fellowship. We left Sunday morning after breakfast. All in all, it was a fun, successful trip!
