Open Air

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:



FIRE -----> PSYCHEDELIC TRANCEFLOOR
