Atrium Obscurum's Southern Oracle, Sept 11-13. Hughes Springs TX (Armadillo Acres)

[Uhm]

Atrium Obscurm proudly presents Southern Oracle
the next iteration of our themed campouts.

You are embarking on a journey through space and time in a world where you create your own reality. The scales between light and the absence of light are tipping. Apathy and despair encompass this world of yours. You need to find your warrior spirit in order to fight off The Nothing that is sweeping across your land. The Southern Oracle has a message for you. This message will be lost without your imagination and your inner strength. Keep your hopes and dreams alive. Come join your fellow brothers and sisters and live out the next chapter of The Neverending Story.

We will draw on several different movement paradigms, including laban movement analysis, bartenieff fundamentals, clowning, mime, physical comedy, and your own personal experiences. We will build nonverbal communication skills, expressive movement ability, and grounding/centering movements. This course will take your dancing up to the next level and help you have the most fantastic night possible. Kinetic Monkey is a Certified Laban/Bartenieff Movement Analyst, Dancer, Clown, and a member of the Hofmann Drive, a psy-downtempo project in Austin, TX.

Yoga led by Lydia Marolda

Guerrilla Gardening hosted by Sergio

This workshop will present guerrilla gardening as a tactic that one
can use to transform cities into gardens by means of reclaiming
derelict space. We will discuss why it is imperative to start building
a city that lives in a more symbiotic manner within the rest of the
natural world. We will also discuss how to choose your locations,
water collection, how to choose plants, guerrilla grafting, strategic
deployment, and how to make seed bombs. If there is time, there will be a short history of guerrilla gardening.(Diggers, Levelers, South Central Farm, peoples park)

Vending:
Jewelry by Sadhana Earth Creations, organic soap by Home Grown Sudz - www.homegrownsudz.etsy.com, & organic soap, jam/jelly & crochet work by Ronnie. Tom Mimosa will be selling his unique soap made from mimosa hostilis root bark. It has medicinal properties and it great for skin irritations/ailments.

We are also encouraging all those who have hand drums to bring them out. We would like to have a community drum circle for the hour leading up to the start of the music on Saturday night.

A sanctuary will be provided for those who wish to get away for a little while and find their inner peace.

cinderVOMIT


Cinder was born in 1544 A.D. to a psychedelic walrus named Pearl on the eve of the non-apocalypse. This hideously deformed eleven foot tall beast spent centuries roaming the darkest corners of the multiverse gorging himself on lost souls and broken brain matter.
While traveling our universe one day in a portal made entirely of turtles, or a “turtle portal” if you will, Cinder stumbled upon the city of Atlanta, his new feeding grounds. In the year twenty-hundred and six Cinder hooked up with the Atlanta Psytrance family and started promoting the Atlanta gatherings, and then one year later joined up with the Asheville, North Carolina based Those People Productions, Triplag Music, D-A-R-K Records.
On Halloween of 2007 cinder was reborn and is now cinderVOMIT due to a life changing near life ending event. Now theVOMIT is the co-founder of USA Label Anomalistic Records, and the label is planning on taking over the free world in the next few years!!
These days you can find Cinder rocking doofs across the galaxy and at home in Atlanta. Oh yeah, and one more thing, he brushes his teeth with a blow torch.
