Apr 11-13 - Lucidity Festival
Danyavaad, The Shimmy Sisters, and Friends are very happy to be performing at Lucidity again this year!
We are Universal ∞ We are Interconnected ∞ We are Co-Creating Lucidity Now
Lucidity is an open-source transformational arts and music festival. We call it open-source because we co-create this festival experience with YOU! We invite you to come play with us, get involved with one of our seven themed villages, call together your star family, bring art, lead a workshop, spark a spontaneous flash mob, embody a character from your dreams, be silly and wild and free! We bring together a world class lineup of musical talent and weave them together with the sounds and vibrations of our beloved local stars. Our galleries showcase the sickest fine art the region has to offer, enriching the festival as a visual voyage. Art installations pleasure participants with multi-sensory stimulation while themed environments create intimate settings for personal connections. Lucidity's environmental commitment is to leave Live Oak better than before.
When we become lucid in our dreams, we realize ourselves as infinite potential, we let go of fear, and we are free to create that which we want to see in the world. Bring those visions, those possibilities, and that delicious conscious energy with you to Lucidity and wake up in the dream

Shimmy Sisters are performing Friday October 12 in LA at Knowphest. You don't want to miss this amazing event! http://knowphest.com/
KNOWPHEST is a “total immersion” experience focused upon navigating earth’s present shift to a higher level of consciousness. Coming to Los Angeles on October 12-14, 2012, KNOWPHEST will feature art, music, healthy cuisine and presentations by forward thinkers such as world-renowned artist Alex Grey. There will be art exhibits, permaculture installations and demonstrations of new products and systems for living that will expand the mind and increase our level of awareness. As we move toward the convergence of the Mayan, Chinese and Egyptian calendars, sweeping changes in science, philosophy, education, media, economics, and spirituality mark a shift that makes one wonder if 2012 might indeed be the “end of the world” as we know it. What is behind the surge of interest in the ancient mysteries? Is today’s technology the birth of a new form of consciousness? Are the rapid changes we are experiencing moving us toward an era of greater health, longevity and sustainability, or passed the point of no return? The presenters, artists and performers of KNOWPHEST have lived lives dedicated to finding the answers to these very questions. The information they will impart will help us navigate this unexplored territory, and to learn what we didn’t know we didn’t know.
