This is the first of two weekend-long camping festivals The Chilluminati will be creating in 2006. Both will be held near Black River Falls, close to the heart of the psychedelic tribes of Wisconsin and those of Iowa, Minnesota, Ontario and Illinois.
The Native Americans of western Wisconsin built huge earthworks that we now know as effigy mounds. These immense forms, carved into the earth, were symbols of The Divine. Just as the tribes built their mounds, we create these parties as Cosmic Condensates. Our Music, Dance, Light and Love form a sacred structure in Space and Time, a microcosmic celebration of The Infinite.
Come join with us this year by helping us to invoke the Five Elements:
Earth – our beautiful new party location near Black River Falls is known and loved by many
Air – The Music, both Psychedelic Trance and Chill/Downtempo/Ambient, is the air we breathe.
Fire – Deco in three Dimensions: Art, Light, Projection. As well as Fire and Kinetic performances.
Water – Healers, the psychedelic people, the ambience, community, the beautiful something that you can't put your finger on…
Spirit – the Unseen, the Energy Field, Imaginal Realm ManifestWE PROVIDE: 2 stages of sound and light, 4 days of camping in a beautiful natural environment (rain or shine), running water, bathrooms and hot showers, full vending (including alcohol for those 21+).
YOU PROVIDE : a tent, enough food and beverages for the weekend (or some cash – food and beverages will be available for sale), NO GLASS, NO DRUGS, NO PETS, NO FIREWOOD (firewood can be purchased on-site).
