100th Monkey 5

SUBMERGE FESTIVAL 28 - 30 JAN IS HOSTING THE NEXT:

100th MONKEY 5: TRIBAL POW-WOW!

TRIBAL POW-WOW is a meeting of minds to discuss the state of doof
culture and where it's headed, as well as it's response to the rapidly
militant, right-wing world around it. YOU are invited to come speak
from the heart and join with other elders and participants in the
Trance community on matters that are affecting our culture. The Tribal
POW-WOW is an exercise in "group-mind" and non-hierarchical community
discussion. It hopes to raise issues and stimulate ideas and connect
people together.

Possible themes to discuss or not as Group Mind decides:

* Return of the sacred - can doof culture integrate the sacred over the
commercial? Use of sacred geometry, vibe and magickal principles to
organise a gathering...

* Hopi prophecies fortell a 'Rainbow Tribe' made up of the children of
all nations that come together to re-connect with the earth and lead
towards a new way. Is doof culture part of this tribe? What practical
steps are needed to work together as a community, not just a
party-culture?

* Technology is rapidly accelerating the mainstream world but what
technologies is doof culture using? And how does technology affect us?
Internet based social networking software helps communities find each
other. Flash-smart mob partying uses tek to steal back the spectacle,
etc.

* War on Drugs. New Victoria based random drug testing is directly
targeting 'rave' and outdoor parties and WILL affect you. What are your
rights, what are your responsibilities?

* Community building. After the party - what then? Land, community,
lifestyle. Setting up your own community and creating your own
lifestyle beyond the dancefloor...

Audio recordings from the POW-WOW sessions will be available for later

THE GROUP MIND

99 monkeys can share an idea - but when the 100th monkey tunes in a
critical consciousness is achieved that tips the scales for all. That
critical mass for change depends of YOU!

You could be the 100th monkey!
