| Coolness: 49545 | OM Summer Solstice Festival 2004, June 18-21, Ontario, CANADA
The OM Summer Solstice Festival is an annually anticipated gathering of global and local networks in rural Ontario, Canada. It is the opportunity to unite as one movement in celebration of music, art, activism and forward thinking. It’s a place to create and inspire, a space to educate and empower and most importantly, a chance to unite and celebrate the strength of our community. We invite you to join us for 4 days together under the sun and stars while the midsummer night and longest day of the year converge. This year, OM will include diverse sights and sounds. Eight sound villages will feature a cross-section of live musical and visual performances, dj’s, and workshops - all presented in a comprehensive edutainment environment. In addition to the creativity YOU bring, we will host inspiring talks, art installations, theme villages, a healing annex, a freeskool, a film festival, an art gallery, and a free community kitchen all entwined amidst the magical Canadian wilderness. The OM Festival was born 7 years ago and as each year passes, it continues to organically develop into a thriving and radiant entity of free expression. Spread the sound … Yes! Om has a NEW location for this year! One we have never used before. The amazing site features lots of shade for camping, a spectacular pine forest, gently rolling green hills and open fields, and of course, water for swimming. We realize many of you want to know where Om is. However, we will not be disclosing the location of Om until closer to the solstice. The location of the festival is accessible by foot, bike, BUS or car. It is located in the Ottawa Valley corridor conveniently between Toronto Ottawa and Montreal. It is a 3.5 hour drive from Toronto. 2.5 hours from Ottawa and 4 hours from Montreal. For planning sake, aim in the direction of Bancroft, Ontario, and imagine a 30 minute to 40 minute drive along back roads from there. keep checking [ www.omfestival.ca ] for the location details closer to the festival date. In the sprit of the non-spectator, participant economy that we try to cultivate at OM, while attempting to build some sort of year round sustainable member based community, we’ve really tried to keep prices fair this year, by offering the following annual membership options: OMERS - $90 advance These are Memberships for general participants of the festival. VILLAGERS - $80 (limited supply - SOLD OUT!) To encourage community involvement, these Memberships are reserved for those groups who organize and participate as part of a Theme Village. These Memberships are in limited supply. **Unfortunately the deadline for Theme Villages has passed for 2004. Hope to hear from you next year!** OMIES - $30 (limited supply - SOLD OUT!) To further encourage community involvement, these Memberships are reserved for those participants who wish to take on volunteer shifts at this year’s festival. We offer these Memberships in exchange for 8 hours of work (2 4 hour shifts). These Memberships are also in limited supply. **The deadline to register was June 3 and we have filled all volunteer positions. For more information on volunteer memberships click here and look under participate > volunteer.** **This year there will be a car tax for every vehicle. If you don’t plan to share costs and carpool, take the bus and save your pennies. Each year OM hosts a multitude of Sound Villages – each very different in theme and vibe. A Sound Village is more than just a sound system; these areas are multi-sensory sound spheres - an explosion of art, community and performance.

Hey there everyone ... So ... Take a seat folks, cause there's some NEW and IMPORTANT information. The OM Festival 2004 has now officially moved locations! Due to circumstances beyond our control as of 6:00 pm yesterday evening - we have been forced to move ... Within hours, we were contacted by a wonderful woman who has asked us to bring OM to her land ... This new site is wonderful ... Rolling fields, wooded forests and a swimable river that runs around it. It's a dream come true that we've managed to find a new site within hours ... Must be meant to be. There is plenty of room for on-site parking, sound villages and all the rest. WE are continuing with our membership system, as the Om circle is now officially a member-based "club". Here's the clincher (cause you know there's got to be one ...) The new site is located in between Guelph and Owen Sound (Ontario), NOT in the Ottawa valley as previously announced! This means that we're MUCH closer to Toronto, Guelph, Kitchener, London, Hamilton, Windsor and Detroit ... Everyone say YAY! BUT ... We are much further way from Ottawa, Montreal, and Peterborough ... Everyone say BOO! We will be officially announcing the new location on the website and in Mo-inf-Om on Sunday night! Please spread the word and let people know the change in plans. We feel this is the best choice for us given the circumstances, and there's still plenty of time to make this happen right! Thank you all for being so dedicated and patient with all of this. Peace all and see you at OM Aspa -- June 18-21 2004 [ www.omfestival.ca ] Spread the sound ... -- SUMKIDZ |
