SACRED SPACES VILLAGE ~ a MYSTIC METROPOLIS in a SACRED TRIANGLE near Center Camp @ BURNING MAN 2010

Sacred Spaces Village will be located in a special village triangle, next to our sister camps, Entheon Village & Red Lightning, and sharing resources like solar power between the camps.

In this Soul of the City in the Mystic Metropolis, we will offer an astonishing array of consciousness raising and spirited content within a sacred geometric crystalline grid. Wabi Sabi Collective will return to create a magnificent bamboo entrance to the temple.

Sacred Spaces will have 8 performance spaces and art galleries, ranging from 20 ft yurts to a 60 x 60 tent, and a large Mystic Garden Bhakti stage with sound by Rob Rayle/Outersect, and professional stage management from three well known Event/Festival producers.

We are looking for:

- Visionary art devoted to healing the waters of the Gulf and Ocean and art dedicated to the sentient sea creatures, dolphins & whales.

- Visionary Art in chakra themes for the 8 temples. Art curators include Temple of Visions, Ecoartopia and Tribe 13. All domes are enclosed and protected.

- Performers/singers/spoken word/DJs

- Workshops

- Healers, massage, accupressure, energy work, soundhealing, etc.

You do not have to camp with us to perform, though camping is available for $275 (early bird till 7/15) and we offer partial and full scholarships/work trades for major contributors to the build, set up and early arrival crew.

THE SCHEDULE IS FILLING UP FAST AND ONLY A FEW SLOTS REMAIN, SO PLEASE REPLY ASAP IF YOU ARE INTERESTED. The event form is here: www.sacredspacesvillage.org

Inspiration for the Project
It is speculated that a whale’s song, if unimpeded by landmasses could circulate the globe and return to its source. Humpbacks have a song that is deeply complex and poetic with verse and chorus, and much like human music, it constantly changes and evolves over time. Science has learned much about their song, but one unexplained fact remains, even though the Humpback’s song is deeply poetic and constantly changing and the whales themselves are spread across thousands of miles, at any given moment, ALL of the Humpbacks of an entire region are SINGING THE SAME SONG.

This is the essence of the One Song project. To align our energy and voices across the globe. To rise up as ONE FAMILY and remember how powerful we are when we come together, in PEACE, for the greater good of all.

TO LEARN ONCE AGAIN TO SING THE SAME SONG – a song of Consciousness, Peace, Unity & Honoring all Life.

The One Song Project is an opportunity for the world to unite in song and celebration in gratitude for our lives, with the intentions of creating Peace within the waters of our living planet, Peace within ourselves and Peace within our world.

The One Song Project is a sonic prayer supporting Humanities Awakening and remembering the interconnectedness of all of Life.

JOIN US as we SING the ONE SONG!!!

Gulf Coast Oil Spill – Sioux Prayer Request – A letter from Chief Arvol Looking Horse (Present Chief and Keeper of the Sacred White Buffalo Calf Pipe of the Lakota, Dakota, Nakota Nation of the Sioux)
Gulf Coast Oil Spill – Sioux Prayer Request

****** A Great Urgency ****** To All World Religious Spiritual Leaders & MORE ******

My Relatives,
Time has come to speak to the hearts of our Nations and their Leaders. I ask you this from the bottom of my heart, to come together from the Spirit of your Nations in prayer.

We, from the heart of Turtle Island, have a great message for the World; we are guided to speak from all the White Animals showing their sacred color, which have been signs for us to pray for the sacred life of all things. As I am sending this message to you, many Animal Nations are being threatened, those that swim, those that crawl, those that fly, and the plant Nations, eventually all will be affect from the oil disaster in the Gulf.

The dangers we are faced with at this time are not of spirit. The catastrophe that has happened with the oil spill which looks like the bleeding of Grandmother Earth, is made by human mistakes, mistakes that we cannot afford to continue to make.

I asked, as Spiritual Leaders, that we join together, united in prayer with the whole of our Global Communities. My concern is these serious issues will continue to worsen, as a domino effect that our Ancestors have warned us of in their Prophecies.

I know in my heart there are millions of people that feel our united prayers for the sake of our Grandmother Earth are long overdue. I believe we as Spiritual people must gather ourselves and focus our thoughts and prayers to allow the healing of the many wounds that have been inflicted on the Earth. As we honor the Cycle of Life, let us call for Prayer circles globally to assist in healing Grandmother Earth (our Unc’I Maka).

We ask for prayers that the oil spill, this bleeding, will stop. That the winds stay calm to assist in the work. Pray for the people to be guided in repairing this mistake, and that we may also seek to live in harmony, as we make the choice to change the destructive path we are on.

As we pray, we will fully understand that we are all connected. And that what we create can have lasting effects on all life.

So let us unite spiritually, All Nations, All Faiths, One Prayer. Along with this immediate effort, I also ask to please remember June 21st, World Peace and Prayer Day/Honoring Sacred Sites day. Whether it is a natural site, a temple, a church, a synagogue or just your own sacred space, let us make a prayer for all life, for good decision making by our Nations, for our children’s future and well-being, and the generations to come.

Deepwater Horizon debacle pushes alt energy – In addition to devastating ecological despoiling, the oil slick could shut down Mississippi River transport, effecting nearly half of U.S. import/export commerce. The damage to the tourism industry in Alabama and Florida could top $25 Billion a year for several years. Faced with this disaster the Obama Administration has just stopped all off shore drilling.

* Oil > Ecological Impact >
Mother gusher danger not passed – With BP applying several fixes to the leaking well and the spreading oil, people might tend to classify this spill as “just another spill” among so many, which will go away after a while. A blowout is still a very real possibility, and the repercussions of the oil spilt are far-reaching. (PESN; May 6, 2010)

* Oil > Ecological Impact >
Mother of all gushers could kill Earth’s oceans – Imagine a pipe 5 feet wide spewing crude oil like a fire hose from what could be the planets’ largest, high-pressure oil and gas reserve. With the best technology available to man, the Deepwater Horizon rig popped a hole into that reserve and was overwhelmed. If this isn’t contained, it could poison all the oceans of the world. (PESN; May 2, 2010)

If the riser pipe deteriorates further, the flow could become unchecked resulting in a release volume an order of magnitude higher than previously thought.”

* Oil > Ecological Impact / Dependence >
Productively directing our Deepwater Horizon anger – In response to the Gulf of Mexico predicament, Author Jeane Manning urges against depression, which is anger turned inward. Instead, she suggests that people direct their anger into propagating awareness of solutions to our addiction to oil, which have been available and suppressed for sometimes a century. The book she coauthored, Breakthrough Power, is a good tool. (JeaneManning; May 1, 2010)
