ct haddock Posted May 17, 2005 Share Posted May 17, 2005 Saturday - Sunday May 21 - 22 2005 At Deerfields, Asheville, NC, USA TOUCH Samadhi is honored to bring you: Goa Gil & Ariane Sacred Trance Dance Experience Goa Gil & Ariane (The Nommos, Avatar Records) Gil grew up in the middle of the San Francisco music scene of the sixties; he then left to journey to India in 1969. Having been a musician all his life and then doing intense Yogic practices with Gurus in the Himalayas, he tried to unite the two forces, Music and Yoga, into one spirit befitting this Age. The result is his focus to use the trance party environment as a medium to uplift the consciousness of the participants through the Sacred Trance Dance Experience. He met Ariane in Goa in 1985. They have been together constantly ever since. Ariane’s keen interest in African Djembe drumming and West African Traditional Dance has also had a big influence on the development and direction of Gil’s musical tastes and concepts. Gil & Ariane’s current musical project is The Nommos, and their goal is to combine Psychedelic Trance with West African Traditional Drumming in the True Spirit of the Ancients. We will begin with an opening drum invocation at sunset, followed by Ariane’s ethno-tribal rhythms. Then Gil will guide us on an 18 hour trip through futuristic sounds for primal movements, “Redefining Ancient Tribal Ritual for the 21st Century.” “Since the beginning of time humankind has used Music and Dance to commune with the Spirit of Nature and the Spirit of the Universe. When I come to the Party and set up my altar, sprinkle the Holy Water, recite the Holy Mantra, and make the Offering to the Cosmic Spirit, and then start the Music… the Music and the whole Party becomes the Offering to the Cosmic Spirit.” Come early on Saturday to set up camp, explore the land, have a swim, share a potluck meal (bring a dish/utensils and prepare for the amazing journey that awaits us all!
