Beyond 2012 Back to upcoming
September 30 -October 2nd 2011
Terence McKenna Beyond 2012
Terence McKenna (1946-2000) has been described as a Copernicus of consciousness. He was an intrepid explorer of the psychedelic plane, a scholar of history and the human condition, and an optimist on the future of our civilization. This workshop will explore the man and his ideas in the auspicious year of 2012, when Terence dreamed of an exponential runaway of novelty. Workshop leaders Bruce Damer and Lorenzo Hagerty will delve deeply into Terence's history, thought and unfinished intellectual works, bringing him back to life through stories, audio and video recordings.
Bruce guided Terence into virtual worlds in the late 1990s and in this workshop will continue to explore themes he and Terence rapped about then: cyborganic life, settling space, the coming augmented reality world, and prospects for a reborn human civilization. Lorenzo will take us from 2013 and beyond into the emerging era of cyber-enhanced humans immersed in a meme-space stranger than we can suppose.
Followers of visionary thinking will find this immersion into the "trialogue" of Terence, Bruce and Lorenzo truly inspiring and transformative as they seek their own life's path into the 21st Century.
To be held on Beautiful Orcas Island in the victorian room at the outlook Inn

About Us Thank you for visiting us. The Somatic Revolution is an arts collective based on Orcas Island, Washington. We are dedicated to the practice of co-creating new forms of celebration by producing events showcasing cutting edge art and music.
It is our belief that the way in which a culture celebrates reflects and reinforces the spirit of its people. Our intention is to create celebration that honors the values of community, kindness, friendship, compassion, dignity and integrity.
In this age of immense change our entire culture is being reevaluated. Ideas and values evolving so quickly it's hard to grasp all that is unfolding in the world. In this unprecedented time of intelectual and spiritual freedom we have the opportunity to create a brand new way of thinking and feeling. One day at a time we are discovering a new language for interacting. One moment at a time we are inventing new ways to celebrate.
So we invite you dear friends to join us in a grand celebration. Draw upon ancient wisdom, set some deep intention and with a bit of tech wizardry we hope to offer a heart opening experience to all. By sharing in the art and music of our community we strive to create pockets of peace emanating deep vibrations of love to the rest of the planet.
May we be part of a peaceful revolution.
Thank you for visiting us. It is an honor to meet you.
The Goddess Sarasvarti
She is said to have invented Sanskrit, language of the Brahmins, of scriptures and of scholarship, and one account says that it was she who discovered soma or amrita in the Himalayas and brought it to the other gods.
She is goddess of all the creative arts and in particular of poetry and music, learning and science. She is represented as a graceful woman with white skin, wearing a crescent moon on her brow; she rides a swan or peacock, or is seated on a lotus.
In classical and medieval Hinduism Saraswati is primarily a goddess of poetic inspiration and learning. She becomes associated with the creator god Brahma as his wife. In this role she is creative sound.

In deep thanks we send out love and gratitude to our family and friends. So many thanks to all our teachers and mentors. So many thanks to all the people who helped us along the way. So many thanks for all the good music and the chance to dance. So many thanks for all the beauty and art in the world. So many thanks for the clean water, clean air and good food. So much thanks for the chance to be free. In these simple things we can find heaven on earth.
When we gather in celebration, our spirits come together and create a powerful vibration. Focusing the energy through our intention, the collective field produced is extended in waves that ripple outward. All life around us responds in kind. Understanding this, it is our intention to offer gifts and offerings to the world by donating profits of our events. Over the years we have produced several fundraisers for different charities. In gratitude we collectively offer a gift to our fellow humans in the hope of bringing some joy to the world and lessening the burden of others. Together we change the world through our vision and through our action.

McKean Hospital McKean Leprosy Hospital
Chiang mai, Thailand
An extremely rare condition in the modern world, Leprosy is still a serious reality in rural areas. Selectively affecting only about 4 percent of the population, Leprosy is a degenerative disease that slowly dibilitates body parts. People affected by the disease eventually loose their limbs and appendages leaving people handicaped for life.
Although Leprosy is a curable illness, many people living in rural areas lack medical treament and their afflictions can become quite severe. The McKean Leprosy Hospital has been a sancuary for people with Leprosy for over 100 years. The McKean Hospital provides treament as well as a safe and comfortable place for people to recover. Many of the patients are from rural areas of Myanmar, Laos, Cambodia and Thailand.

Sea Gypsies Sea Gypsy Village
Phuket, Thailand
When the 2004 Asian tsunami hit, hundreds of thousands were affected by the event. A small fishing village of nomadic Moken people located at the southern tip of Phuket Island was completely destroyed. Commonly known as Sea Gypsies their once nomadic lifestyles took them across borders throughout Southeast Asia. The village not only lost their homes, but also the boats they depend on to make a living.
Shorlty after learning about this we organized a small event on Orcas Island to raise funds for the village.
