Did anyone go to the Occulture Conference recently in Berlin?

Just curious what an esoteric conference is like. Heard about it on a podcast and it just seems very....discordant? to have what sounds like a regular-style conference that's normally for boring work stuff about something like the occult and esoteric arts. I think it sounds like fun, but maybe it's also super academic. Just wondering.

I've been to a couple of SPR and parapsychological conferences. Not exactly occult, but hey. Talks range widely from dull academic stuff to eye-popping personal experiences to total bullshit.
I gave a talk at one (early in my research where I was mostly wrong ) and the SPR President came up to me afterwards. I thought he was going to congratulate me or something, but what he actually said was: "You don't believe all that rubbish, do you?"
