Instead of going to church, here's how these Chicago libs (I assume they're libs) spend their Sundays:
Yes, every Sunday people from all across Chicago go to the pier and scream at the top of their lungs into Lake Michigan.
Because they're the normal ones, guys.
From Fox 32 in Chicago:
The weekly meetup, held on the North Avenue Beach Pier, was formed this summer by local breathwork practitioner, Manny Hernandez.
It began as a personal ritual over the winter, alongside co-founder Elena Soboleva, that was soon shared with strangers.
Imagine being a tourist in Chicago, arriving Sunday evening, walking down to the pier, and being greeted with hundreds of shrieking libs just shouting at the lake.
The screamers even have a website:
And a store:
More from the story:
The powerful practice of screaming away the stress is gaining attention and support. The very first meetup was held on Sunday, June 22, and each week, larger crowds have formed to participate.
Because back in pioneer days people had to actually work, manually. And we all know that makes you exert a lot of your energy. But now, men and women in Chicago practice a weekly ritual of releasing excess energy by screaming like a toddler at bedtime.
This is totally normal behavior.
Before participants let out several collective screams that are guided by Hernandez, they can choose to set an intention.
'We wanted to make this very intentional. So what we do, we give people little biodegradable papers, where they write down their intentions of what they want to let go of. They write it down, and then Manny walks them through a breath to prepare the body, prepare the mind for release. They throw the paper in the water, and we do the screams,' Soboleva explained.
Again, you could just go to church or do something productive. Improve your life in some way.
But now we've got more than 100 screamers showing up in Chicago and plans to expand to other cities.
I gotta show you a few comments:
🤣🤣🤣
This has no direct relation to the practice of primal screaming that libs in other areas have begun.
If this isn't a spiritual crisis of some kind, I don't know what is.
