The A.U.M. Festival
July 25-30, 2007
Converging on the Day Out of Time, Culminating with the Full Moon
Ozark Mountains, NW Arkansas
www.aumfestival.net

The A.U.M Festival will establish a safe gathering space that facilitates the exploration of consciousness and connectedness through inspired, underground psychedelic trance music and culture. It will encourage the growth of the North American psy-community; emphasize our ability to heal ourselves and each other; embrace an open, multi-generational perspective; and promote an earth conscious, leave no trace ethic.

Join us for 4 nights and 5 days as we gather high up in the beautiful ridges, cliffs and crystal encrusted landscapes of the Ozark Mountains to create a temporary autonomous zone. Imagined boundaries will melt away as we come together to raise the collective vibration through psychedelic music, art and dance. Each day of the festival will be devoted to honoring one of the Five basic Elements as we spiral towards the center: Earth, Air, Fire, Water and Spirit.

You will also find the Elements represented among the festival's main areas:

No, Mistical Productions is all but dead to be honest. You will have to take that up with Scott since it's his baby and he doesn't like psy-trance anymore. Although, you will see him play at this festival. I focus on other endeavors, IE Atrium Obscurum & helping Shiva Shakti some. Atrium Obscurum is going to have our second park party on June 10th at Reverchon Park in Dallas. I will post details today.

yes, mistical productions is pretty much dead. though, i wouldn't really say i don't like psy trance anymore. i would say that i find most of it uninspiring (though there is still good stuff out there) and that i am working in a different direction now. though, as stated above/below, i will still be playing the occational party...

this really remains to be seen at this point in time. i am on the lineup, and was planning on playing, but there is not enough room at the venue for me and other act on the lineup, and i would hate for the police to have to be called to this party. it would ruin everyone's good time.
