Karmaklubb*
— A sort of cavalcade: THANK YOU, 2024 ❤ … WELCOME 2025!!
Virtual item / Hybrid / IGWTLI publishing
Description

Another year has passed, showing new dimensions of instability and challenges. — In 2025 we hope and trust! We cannot stop believing and trying. And despite the craziness: Thank all of YOU for unforgettable gatherings, events, and in general: honouring us by your presence, making Karmaklubb* what it is. And, as always: You are many more that’s part of the huge machinery; crew at the venues; volunteers and hands behind the scenes; ; the ones spreading the word, creating the links, and making the important introductions; the suppliers and funders; the ongoing and in the loop — you know very well who you are. There are not enough tags, no order of appearance, so please consider this a love letter to all the Beauties involved at any level of producing real Magic. The out-in-the-public collaborators this year, from Norway and internationally, some over and over again:

Love,
Karmaklubb*
