*** EGA 2009 - Plant Trade Space :happydance: ***

So you're coming to EGA this year and want to share some of your plants and get some new additions to your garden? Well the Plant Trading Place is for you. After Torstens practical workshop we will be hosting a plant trading space so your funky specimens can mingle with others.

Bring along all your legal plants, herbs and extracts to trade, donate or sell. And if you have nothing to offer then let someone help you out with getting your funky garden started. So get your hands dirty and meet plant and people friends in the spirit of sharing.

This is a essential component of EGA because we are all located in different areas and this a great way for us to come together, share knowledge and create more diversity amongst our gardens!!
 
Entheogenesis – What We Can Do
Bob Jesse - EGA Headliner

Much of the world’s suffering is unnecessary. Where can we turn for help in healing the world and building more joyful lives?

Across cultures and eras, profound experiences of unity with the cosmos – called, variously, mystical experiences, non-dual consciousness, unitive consciousness, or primary religious experiences – have sometimes lead to lasting, and lastingly beneficial, changes in the lives of those who encounter them. Some of them (Moses at the Burning Bush, the Buddha under the Bodhi tree, Saul of Tarsus on the road to Damascus, Bill Wilson in Towns Hospital) are not only life-changing but world-changing.

Many different activities – meditation, prayer, chanting, fasting, and dancing among them – have been used with the intention of preparing for such experiences or for occasioning them, and their nature seems to be largely independent of how they come about. The skillful, careful use of certain plants and chemicals is one of the least demanding means in terms of time and among the most likely to bring about a profound experience on any given occasion.

The wisdom traditions emphasize the critical importance of ongoing practice for spiritual development and to stabilize what may be gained in a primary experience. Today’s interconnected world presents a rich, even bewildering, array of old and new techniques and paths. Tradition and reason also say that the existence of a social "vessel" to contain the process – a group of people with some shared understanding of what the experience means and what is to be done with it – reduces risks and increases the chances that a given experience will lead to lasting benefit.

But this knowledge is scattered, incomplete, and tacit; there is more of it in the minds and hearts of teachers than there is in the writings of scientists. We know little, for example, about which practices work best for which people. There is much to be learned.

These observations lead us to believe that bringing more focus to this area would tend to decrease suffering and increase prosocial behavior in the world. We can pursue this goal by catalyzing research to improve scientific knowledge of the phenomena and their consequences, by working to create social understandings that make seeking out primary experiences seem less unusual than it now does to most westerners, and by encouraging people to find or imagine and develop social contexts that serve as appropriate vessels.
Foremost, we can redouble our commitment to our own spiritual growth, to the long personal work of tilling the soil for awakening, and to the communities that hold these intentions.

There is an interesting quote from Tim Leary about Augustus Owsley Stanley the 3rd in 'Storming Heaven: LSD and the American Dream'.

"I've studied with the wisest sages of our times: Huxley, Heard, Lama Govinda, Sri Krishna Prem, Alan Watts and I have to say that AOS3, college flunkout, who never wrote anything better (or worse) than a few rubber checks, has the best up to date perspective on the divine design than anyone I've ever listened to".

Envisioned by master sound man and LSD chemist Owsley "Bear" Stanley, the Wall Of Sound was unlike anything seen before. As Stanley himself described it:

"The Wall of Sound is the name some people gave to a super powerful, extremely accurate PA system that I designed and supervised the building of in 1973 for the Grateful Dead. It was a massive wall of speaker arrays set behind the musicians, which they themselves controlled without a front of house mixer. It did not need any delay towers to reach a distance of half a mile from the stage without degradation."

We will gather around a sacred fire just as our ancient ancestors did.
Wound together by billions of strands of love, light and remembrance
of who we are and why we are here.

We will join together as one to Plant a Dreaming Tree. This act will
embody our shared Reverence for nature and our intention to
create heaven of Earth through our collective visions. Tomchia Raven
