What is Entheogenesis Australis (EGA)?
The Enthnogenic Landscape is coming to the forefront of consciousness more than ever before as we reassess our place in the universal mantra, part of this communication revolves around association with particular psychoactive plants. EntheoGenesis Australis hopes create a space in which we can freely discuss the benefits of psychedelic plants, chemicals and culture and debate many of those questions we all seem to be asking.
EGA is a presale only 3 day open air gathering of intergalactic proportions - based around a Conference and workshop format with plenty of ad ons to keep the mind in top gear. Attendees can camp on site free.
It is with excitement that we can officially announce that Dennis McKenna (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dennis_McKenna)will be headlining Entheogenesis Australis 2007.
As you can see we are certainly already in for a massive treat this year. As well as a sterling line up of speakers from all over Australia, we also have a new site that is just magnificently set in the mountains just outside Mansfield in Victoria. It even has a spring feed swimming hole and loads of surrounding forestlands to explore. So keep an eye on our web page as we will be releasing further details soon!

Discussions Panels
Psychedelic Activism and Dissent:
It's origins and its FutureAll politics is an extension of consciousness, and psychedelic activism has a rich history of raging against the machine. From the anti-war movements of the 60s attempting to levitate the Pentagon, to drug busts in the bush and media scares in the 00s, the politics of consciousness should be at the heart of modern activism. So why isn't it?
Ethnobotanics – lets get physical:
A General Q and A on entheogenic plant identification, propagation, extraction and proliferation. Ask the expert penal the questions that have been bugging you about anything to do with entheogenic plant.
Ayahuasca: A Holy Grail for our species?
In the 60s LSD opened the mind; in the 80s ecstasy opened the heart: now in the 00s, is ayahuasca revealing the spirit for a new generation of seekers? With ayahuasca use exploding in the West, does this jungle sacrament offer a chance for a genuine archaic revival? And is the sacred vine being commodified by Western use as it spreads across the planet?
The rise of the Ultra-culture:Doof, Entheo & Tribal communities in the 00's:
Forget the counterculture: the Ultraculture is the hybrid offspring of all that has gone before: Part hippie, part activist, part spiritual warrior. As this new global tribe coalesces, what have we learned from past communities' experience? How do we weave myth, magick, science and technology to be a successful tribe in the present?
Doof Culture - Pounding open the third eye
The role of the trance dance has never been more vital to connect us to the earth, but where is it going? Mass commercialisation in the mainstream is balanced by an eco-activist bush doof movement in the underground. Doof isn't dead. but what is it becoming?
