"A human being is part of the Whole...
He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings, as something separated
from the rest...a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion
is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to
affection for a few persons nearest us. Our task must be to free ourselves
from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living
creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty. Nobody is able to achieve
this completely, but the striving for such achievement is, in itself,
a part of the liberation and a foundation for inner security"
Albert Einstein


After a successful summer in the festival fields, the Synergy crew are re-uniting for their first event of the winter season, to be held once again at the SEOne Club in London Bridge. Having laid a solid foundation over the 6 events since its launch in March 2003, Synergy is now looking to delve deeper into one of its core aims - that of harnessing the power of creative media to communicate on issues relating to environmental protection, sustainable development, social justice and ethical living – all set within an empowering and positive framework of celebration and optimism. With this in mind, the October event has been planned to coincide with the European Social Forum (ESF) – a gathering of activists from across the continent meeting to discuss alternatives to the alienation and injustice of consumerist capitalism and the war on terror.

Synergy is therefore delighted that many of the art-activists visiting London for the ESF will be exhibiting and performing at the event, complementing the diverse mix of media to which Synergy regulars have become accustomed.

The ESF is a giant gathering for everyone opposed to war, racism & corporate power, everyone who wants to see global justice, workers' rights and a sustainable society. The ESF emerged from the spectacular success of the World Social Forum which opened in Porto Alegre, Brazil in 2001. Its first two gatherings in Florence (2002) and Paris (2003) attracted over 50,000 participants from across Europe and beyond. It is a chance for people from around the world
to come together to engage in debate, organise action and build networks to strengthen our movement.

The key themes of the Forum are:
* War and peace
* Democracy and fundamental rights
* Social justice and solidarity against privatisation
* Corporate globalisation and global justice
* Against racism, discrimination and the far right
* Environmental crisis and sustainable society

This year’s ESF in London will bring together thousands of people fromacross the UK, Europe and the world and is an unmissable event for everyone who wants to see a better world.
The Synergy Project will offer reduced entry at £8 for all ESF ticket holders! Find out more about this amazing happening @ www.fse-esf.org

By once again rotating the hosting of each of the 5 rooms, Synergy will also be honouring the maxim that every event is different and thereby avoiding the stagnation of the formulaic commercialism of main-stream club-land.

Interspersed throughout the five rooms will be a wide variety of whole-food cafes, info stalls from campaign groups and NGOs, jugglers and street performers, all encompassed by some of the friendliest community vibes in the capital.

Synergy is a community event – organised and hosted by artists, activists, healers and cooks – that seeks to empower people through creative participation. We therefore welcome proposals and contributions from all sections of the community. For more info please co

the synergy project is an amazing project that finally puts some substance to a lot of the spiritual rethoric of the trance culture by combining cutting edge multi media with those working leading NGOs and charities : have a look what we have for you
