Location:
Symbiosis Gathering 2006 Venue:
Angels Camp, California, USA
for those who have been there: this will be on the lower property.

This year's event will be held on a forested ranch in the Sierra Nevada mountains of northern California, just outside a town called Angels Camp. This area has a long tradition of welcoming live music events. Angels Camp hosted the Mountain Aire Festival for many years, featuring musicians such as the Grateful Dead, as well as many legendary electronic music events in the 90's. We are pleased to have the opportunity to uphold a strong tradition with respect and honor to those who have worked hard to maintain a safe space for us to gather outdoors with live music.

Camp in the Forest, Dance in the Field... Do Yoga in the Lodge... The specific location of this year's event will be announced closer to the start of the event. However, please familiarize yourself with directions to the area as you prepare, to know how long it will take to get there from where you are. We will also provide you with a list of 'Important Things to Know and Pack' on the website prior to the event. Be sure to take advantage of these resources to make your trip lots easier.

Intention:
The intention of Symbiosis is to create a gathering space for people to exchange ideas, express creativity, explore spirituality, camp together, and enjoy themselves in a positive and nurturing environment. We seek to align ourselves for positive change through the creative arts, music, holistic medicine, and communal networking. Join us for a variety of workshops, guest speakers, and activities to enrich your life in addition to a full-strength international psychedelic music bill.

This year's lineup is broader, larger, and live-er than last year, with the hopes of bringing even more cutting edge talent together for a unified gathering of underground music styles. We are presenting a carefully woven eclectic mix of international and local artists including live bands, and electronic acts ranging from various styles of trance to breakbeats, psy-chill and IDM. The performers here break the traditional boundaries of musical labeling, often with innovative combinations of acoustic and electronic elements playing a broad range of tempos. Welcome something new into your listening range at Symbiosis this year. You never know who you might meet on the dancefloor...
