VIC *** Entheogenesis Australis Conference - FRI 6-MON 9 NOV -ON SALE NOW ***

In 2006, a paper appeared in the scientific journal Psychopharmacology, titled “Psilocybin can occasion mystical-type experiences having substantial and sustained personal meaning and spiritual significance.” Its findings, from a research team at the Johns Hopkins University, garnered media coverage around the world, as did the team’s 2008 report, “Mystical-type experiences occasioned by psilocybin mediate the attribution of personal meaning and spiritual significance 14 months later.”

In contrast to studying the efficacy of hallucinogens in the treatment of psychiatric problems, the Hopkins research sought to quantify the effects of psilocybin in healthy, well-educated volunteers. Several distinguished scientists wrote commentaries, published alongside the 2006 paper, praising the study’s methodology and the importance of its findings, and encouraging similar research.

Bob Jesse, a study co-author and organizer of the Council on Spiritual Practices, the non-profit that initiated the study, and will discuss the Johns Hopkins project at EGA in 2009.

My god, EGA is coming up very quickly and With the full program announced and only 2 weeks left of early bird tickets we have noticed a large lift in tickets sales. I suggest you make sure you get in before the early bird tickets sell out or go up. As this event is something very special and only comes around every two year in this format.

Bear (Owsley) Stanley Bio

Considered by many as one of the legends of the sixties counterculture, Bear Stanley denies his heroic status, and spends his days working on various sculptures and writing essays on subjects such as the importance of carbon dioxide, the primary and only ‘plant food’, to the expansion of food crops and life on earth. Fair and equitable taxation (equal and low percentage on all ‘income), a proper runoff method to determine the results of elections, and how to unify and balance lawmaking. Writing laws in ordinary language rather than legalese. Including ‘sunset clauses’ to allow change to adjust to the rapid changes in today’s world-- amongst others. He is renowned for his contribution to sound engineering, particularly working with live gig iconoclasts, the Grateful Dead, and perfecting the idea of on-stage monitors and high quality PA’s. A tireless archivist, he kept a ‘diary’ of his front-of-house mixes, including hundreds of Grateful Dead performances, and has seen the release of a number of albums from his “sonic journal” tapes of PA mixes. Bear was a minor participant in the Acid Tests of Ken Kesey and the Merry Pranksters. He was the first underground cook to produce high-purity LSD in the 1960s, when it was legal, including the famous White Lightning and Monterey Purple. Bear Stanley now lives in Australia.

* About The Gathering *

EGA 2009 will create a space for growth of the spirit, mind and body, hosting over 25 expert speakers from around Australia and abroad. The speakers make up the backbone of our event and are supported by a great host of other fantastic happenings including discussion panels/groups, workshops and performances. This will take place over 4 days in November nestled in the beautiful Strathbogie Ranges in north east Victoria, Australia.

Our aspiration is to create an active, transformative experience and
cultivate a community ethos and feel, through the synergy of science,
art, and ritual. We aim to create inspiring spaces that reflect and resonate with the overall philosophy of the event. The main conference space will be a work of art in its own right. Accompanying it will be the ~Mykopod~ space designed to help you 'relax ~ connect ~ integrate' during the gathering. To additionally help you tune in and play your part in the EGA experience, there will also be a healing tent, meditative crystal mandala dome and a visionary art space all connected by a very lush market area.

The event will also host a communal banquet, some ambient music and films as well as Masquerade Corroboree to keep you all on your toes.

We hope you can join us in the trees for an exploration of more than mind, body and spirit.

=D
