I love it. Preppy Pagan.

Yes, I am familiar with what it is and, from where I've lived, have known people that have gone. Not my brand of people, at all, and that's for sure.

Now, get in your jammies and go to bed.

That event is chock full of suits. Suits, scientists, physicians, artists, business owners. A creative bunch to say the least. One of my girlfriends is a long time attendee. She's a PhD geneticist from Harvard who owns and operates a non-profit that bridges US facilities, consumables, and instrumentation to several countries in Africa. What she has done is quite impressive and she's a burner.

Don't worry, you will be rid of me soon enough. I have to stop staying up late every night.

And all tending toward the pagan. Seems to be a common theme among the recurring dissenters on the "earthy" woman thread.

I'm not in touch so much with the Pagan world, although I do know people who practice. That and Buddhism. They're all good. I don't see that with my burner friends, who appear more interested in the party and creating art/installations.

While they're schlepping that far from the East Coast to attend, make sure they check out the New Age hot springs in adjacent Northern California. Having seen where Burning Man takes place on the map of Northern Nevada, the springs ain't far.

We should just pick up the phone and yell at each other. It could be entertaining.

This applies to women as well. Could you see a Dallas debutante with a mountain man? It ain't the norm. If, per the "sniff test," she's not attracted to him and doesn't want to know anything about him, that's her prerogative. People generally know in a nanosecond if they're attracted to someone.
Ok, so here's the thing. I'll use myself as an example.

I spend most my current work days in sun dresses and jeans. Ponytail and fresh faced.

I also spent the majority of my life in power jobs, and power suits.

I do yoga, hike and into photography.

I also attend the Governor's Ball every year in full glam.

I was once told by a guy I seem like the type of woman who dines out all the time, and have nothing in my kitchen. I'm an avid cook AND gardener.

I hob nob with successful people and drink with the crew.

THAT's why I laugh at applying stereotypes.

You can only know a person, once you take the time to know them.

No I wouldn't.

Doesn't mean they are not worthy, just not my taste.
