:: Mindfull Presents ::

Source Sync :: September 14-16

Journey to the beauty of deep Northern California forest land for a 48 hour gathering of psychedelic vibrations to align with rhythms of natural life in a return to your connection with all that is. Release limiting karma, drama and trauma in an alchemical odyssey of awakening to the inner wisdom within universal patterns of energy flowing as a river through wild ageless spaces. Allow the guidance of nature to enrich your path with more grace, joy, clarity, purpose, passion and creativity for manifesting visions.

On the weekend of Earthdance we join a global dance ritual sending energetic roots to the planet’s core and drawing dark Mother Earth essence spiraling to the heart of cosmos for reunion with the source. Derango returns with more of their Swedish forest magic in a live performance unlike any you will experience on this side of the world along with Ghreg On Earth’s first fully live set in California and many others from talented local artists over two days of music progressing through a diverse range of psychedelic genres.

Derango (Sanaton / Parvati :: Sweden)
Jens & Ola have earned much respect over the years since they began writing their distinctly well crafted psytrance in 2000 through phenomenal live performances and groundbreaking releases like their debut album Tumult in 2005. The creativity of Derango is a full expression of the psychedelic experience transferred in music. Their huge sound pictures are created combining a solid warm base with waves of sounds from synths and samples in constant change and movement. The result is a unique wrapping effect that gives to the listeners on one side the safe feeling of the belonging to mother-earth womb and, on the other side, the challenge of discovering and understanding that our mind and spirit have no borders.

Ghreg On Earth (Mistress Of Evil / Auraquake :: Earth)
In the two years since his widely acclaimed debut album Sigilweaver and appearance at the first Mindfull gathering Ghreg has composed an evolution of his unique sound to be shared through powerful live performances including new material from the coming album. As an aural architect, he constructs sonic structures of mysterious, melodious worlds which offer spaces otherwise concealed in the deep abyss of the subconscious. Guided by his passion for cutting edge music, art and literature from the psychedelic and mystical underground, his timeless sound realizes the magical properties of music to guide people into cinematic passages of expanded personal experience.

Every year, tens of thousands of participants gather to create Black Rock City in the Black Rock Desert of Nevada, dedicated to self-expression, self-reliance, and art as the center of community. They leave one week later, having left no trace. The Art Theme for Burning Man 2007 is “The Green Man”. Our theme concerns humanity’s relationship to nature. Do we, as conscious beings, exist outside of nature’s sway, or does its force impel us and inform the central root of who and what we are?

Come visit Gaian Mind on the playa!

Several of us will be camped with The Philadelphia Experiment (PEX) at 7:30 & Esplanade. Our camp will have 2x 25′ geo-domes, one of which will be decorated by the Gaian Mind crew with blacklights and UV reactive artwork. Gaian Mind resident DJ Karmakanik will be laying down a smooth progressive psy/electro/house set at the PEX camp, and a full-on psytrance set at the Psycircle Camp at 10:00 & Intertidal (times TBA). There will also be several other theme camps featuring psychedelic trance over the course of the week including Green Moon at 2:00 & Freshwater and Outpost 23 at 9:30 & Boreal. Opulent Temple at 2:00 & Esplanade (by far the largest sound system on the playa) will be having some psytrance DJ’s play the night of the burn as well.

The PEX camp will also feature:
Live Perfomances by the Philadelphia Fire Arts Tribe, Arche-Dream for Human Kind, B-Tru Collective, Quentini the Great, Haale, and more TBA.

Throughout the week:
PEX Selectors: King Britt (Philly), Nigel Richards (Philly), DJ Everyday (Philly), Justin Paul (Philly), Dave Hughes (Ireland), Osunlade (Greece), Michael Nightime (Philly), Lina Luv (Philly), Karmakanik (Philly), Meeshu (Philly), Rafael De La Cruz (LA), Lee Mayjahs? (Philly), Marques Wyatt (LA), John Spetrino (Philly), Ross D (Philly), and Smitty (LA).
Plus special guests: Selector Science (Mendo, CaA), Jomai Etu (NYC), Small Change (NYC), Been Jammin (NYC), Diva Danielle (LA), Wolfie (LA), Tuhin Roy (SF), JZ (SF), Miles Maeda (Chicago), and Foxxy (SC)
