We invite all to come dance, relax, join our community workshops and explore the wonder for 4 days and 3 nights in celebration of the sun's peak: the 2016 summer solstice. Honoring the solstice can remind us just how precious each day and season is, because there is an absolute truth in its passing. As such, Sacred Earth Open-Air is a gift that we all give to each other. Come celebrate this phenomenon of the cosmos as The Chilluminati continues in our eleventh year of bringing psychedelic trance music, tradition and culture to the Midwestern United States. ***WE PROVIDE: 2 stages of sound, visuals and light, 4 days and 3 nights of camping in natural beauty in the Missouri Ozarks about 1 hour south of St. Louis at Astral Valley. Multiple campsites, natural beauty including caves and a stream on over 200 acres. Full vending onsite including art from leading regional artists. ***YOU PROVIDE: A tent, preparation for rugged conditions, enough food and beverages for the weekend (or some cash - food and beverages will be available for sale, including alcohol for 21+) ABSOLUTELY NO GLASS and NO RENEGADE SOUND! (this includes sound systems at your campsite!) Please respect the venue by keeping the grounds free of litter. **This is a LEAVE NO TRACE EVENT** Become part of the community. Help the planet, and help us. Pick up after yourself. Leave the site, and our reputation as a community, better than you found it. Things for your eyes: Fractaled Visions (Lake Tahoe, CA) http://www.facebook.com/keith.n.anderson/videos/vb.100000586782681/1195689263793955/?type=2&theater NephilNine (New York, New York) http://www.facebook.com/Nephil9 NephilNine is the brainchild of New York artist Sue Helfrich, creating event decorations and installation art since 2004. A classically-trained artist with a degree in Fashion Design from Fashion Institute of Technology (NYC, USA), Helfrich is deeply involved in each NephilNine installation: “What drew me to decorating events was a passion for immersing someone in a fantastic environment. As a child, I dreamed of being able to explore the surreal worlds portrayed in fantasy/science fiction movies and TV shows. Now I enjoy being able to create worlds of my own design, even if only for a night, so that others may explore them.” The NephilNine repertoire includes stretched spandex forms, a variety of geometric and organic 3-D UV sculptures, and large-scale string installations. These often psychedelic creations define events ranging from underground dance parties and major music festivals to private ceremonies and celebrations all over the world. NephilNine’s art is primarily made of layered cut fabric shapes. The fabric, which is often combined with other types sculpture, shapes space and light, surrounding performers and participants in beautiful environments. Each space is different. No two installations are alike. Each is a study of Impermanence, Improvisation, and Growth. Lighting provided by other artists adds changing dimension. NephilNine takes the entirety of the space into consideration when designing, including the environmental impact of the materials used. https://www.facebook.com/mixtresskrikett/ Synesthesia Deco (St. Petersburg, FL) By definition, synesthesia is the merging together of senses. Based in the southeast of USA, Psynesthesia is the psychedelic UV design project of Krikett. She has been involved with many forms of artistic expression since early childhood, and was always drawn to anything bright, unusual, and otherworldly. In 2011 the concept was born, and thus began an ever expanding atmosphere enhancement project, inspired through attending numerous gatherings of many varieties, and motivated to continuously enhance the experiential movement for all who attend. Twisted Slinky (St. Cloud, MN) Things for your ears: About the venue: Astral Valley is an interactive art gallery & organic orchard nestled on over 230 acres in the Missouri Ozarks. Located only 45 minutes South of St. Louis, it was originally settled by Dutch-German immigrants in the 1800s. Not long after, the town of Koester, MO was founded, complete with a general store, post office, blacksmith shop, steam mill, livestock barn & school house. Today only a few old buildings & mostly foundations are what remain. With over 230 acres to be explored the opportunities to get close & interact with nature are endless. In addition to miles of nature trails, a crystal clear creek, wild caves & a spring, it is home to over 200 species of wild animals. Astral Valley has unique rock outcroppings, two wild caves, 20-40 ft granite cliffs, and quartz crystals galore. Prepare to immerse yourself into a perfect integration of the longest running psychedelic trance festival in the Midwest and the wonder that is Astral Valley for Sacred Earth Open-Air 2016.
