“When Ripple of Love took over Johnny B’s, it was one of Medford’s most remarkable experiences. The music is as eclectic and diverse as it is danceable.”

Asked at the door
What is the Ripple of Love experience?
Ripple of Love is a mini festival and rave that values kindness, consent, fun and acceptance of each other’s differences. Beyond being an amazing dance party with incredible producers and DJs, we have blacklights, body painters, craft tables, a kandi table and the Kosmic Konnections game.
Every event features a special activation from the Kosmic Lovers, Stara and Andre Fox, at 11:11. We breathe together, OM, and receive an activation from Stara Being. This is where we all connect and send ripples of love out into all of existence.
Is Ripple of Love a poly party?
Ripple of Love accepts everyone, including poly, LGBTQ, straight, monogamous, aliens, creatures: all are welcome. Our events are based on kindness and consent. We are a place for everyone to feel safe to be fully who they are in that moment.
What is consent?
Consent is asking: “May I dance with you?” “May I hug you?” “May I touch you?” “Would you be open to having a conversation with me?” It’s being OK if someone says no, not making it personal, and knowing that what you are looking for is looking for you. No need to manipulate or force someone or something.
Why do we breathe and OM together?
In a world of chaos, we breathe and OM together to send ripples of love out into the world. The way for humanity to move forward is to work together to create an awesome world together. We are seeding this.
What is the Kosmic Konnections game?
A mingling game channeled by Stara to help us all get to know each other better as friends, and also to pull in people’s Divine Unions.
Every player fills out a pre-registration form, saying whether they’re looking for a romantic partner, a lover, or just want to make new friends. You’re given a number to wear, and your form goes in a book that other players can look through. If you’re curious about someone’s number, look them up in the book; if you want to know them better, ask if they’d like a speed date or a get-to-know-you game at the game table. It can end in five minutes, or go on if you both want.
What is a sliding scale?
We accept everyone, so we are all in different walks of life. Financially speaking, we want everyone who vibes with our values to be able to come, so people pay what they can to support the event. So far it has worked well: we have been able to pay everyone and keep going. We ask you to pay what feels good to support the event.
