All- Day and All-Night Community Dance Guided by Maha Dj and Goa Gil
Come celebrate the gift of life through sacred art and ecstatic dance. Join us as we re-discover and re-create our connection to the source of inspiration and vision. May we experience directly our true nature as open and vibrant beings to share this with the world. The oldest and most universal path to this experience is dance.
As Goa Gil says, "Since the beginning of time, humankind has used magic and dance to commune with the spirits of nature and the spirits fo the universe."
Sunset drum invocation followed by Arieane's ethno-tribal mix begins the journey. Ritual continues throughout the weekend as Gil brings future sounds that induce primal movements. We may meet demons and soar with angels; in this all-night and all-day cyber-shamanic ritual trance-dance, we shake ourselves awake and alive.
Some preparation time can be helpful for the journey. Everyone is invited to camp in the forest throughout the weekend, swim and play by the beach or in the "falls", hike up the creek or relax in the sauna. Bring food to share for the community kitchen.
Come relax, sauna and sing on Friday night. Blissful, devotional chants and dance with Jaya Lakshmi and Deva Priyo (from Lost at Last) at 10pm Friday. Saturday led yoga, kirtan, sunset drum invocation and all night dance.
Entheogenic art show: amazing works by local artists such as Jarod Knapp,David Heskin,Jonathan Weber,Roman Villagrana,Luke Brown, Ver de Luz, Arun and others.

who is Goa Gil?
Gil grew up in the middle fo the San Francisco music scene of the 60's. Then he left to India in 1969. Having been a musician all his life and doing intense yogic practices with gurus in the Himalayas, he tried to unite the two (music and yoga) into one benefiting this age. The result was the birth of the full moon parties that started in India and spread to other countries. Goa Gil has been constantly focusing on using the party situation as a medium to uplift the consciousness of the participants through the trance dance experience.
"We became so tantric that we even made partying a valid spiritual path. Although it really is nothing new, as every tribal group since the beginning of time has practiced this ancient ritual in order to go into trance and commune with the spirit. We have only redefined it for this age...so that there can be a direct transmission and another vision and vibration be known. Through the trance dance experience hopefully people will become more aware of themselves, their surroundings, the crossroads of humanity , and the needs of the planet... with that awareness comes understanding and compassion! That is the need of the hour and the true Goa spirit."
