LIMINAL ZONE: BOOM’S CONTRIBUTION FOR A CHANGING ZEITGEIST

In line with the Boom 2010 theme of Water, the concept for the Liminal Zone manifested as an aquatic idea of exploring uncharted waters through navigating at the edge of different FRONTIERS.

The concept of “BE PREPARED” that was widely spread by McKenna in the festive gatherings of the end of the last century has never been more relevant. Today the main concerns we are faced with are Ecological Sustainability, Social Justice and Spiritual Fulfilment.

Re-localization movements tell us that “only tribes will survive” steering us “back” to community living, whilst no one trusts politics and old paradigm leaders anymore – there is a sense of “no time to waste”.

So the Liminal Zone at Boom 2010 is solution based, ACTIVIST prone, and interactive. Each person present should leave feeling like they are a member of a new time and compelled to act, to change, to do something new.

Indeed, humanity is navigating through somewhat troubled waters and a great shift of immense potential is happening. We have now moved across and are at the frontier of something new – these are uncharted waters.

Never before in the history of humanity have we seen such an up rise of collective interest in all matters spiritual.
The energy on the planet is so intense that more people feel it every day. Some are having abrupt spiritual awakenings, others breaking down in apparent emotional crisis.

Through workshops, presentations, discussion panels and the Paradigms Films 2010, we are navigating through the turbulent and exciting waters of the current zeitgeist.

Our aim is to explore uncharted waters by navigating into the Frontiers of Time and Space, Frontiers of Behaviour and Activism, Frontiers of the Body, Frontiers of the Mind, Frontiers of Art, Frontiers of Love and Frontiers of Evolution.

On Day 1 (19th August) we travel at the edge of the Frontiers of Time and Space, taking humanity’s pulse and asking where we are and how we got here.

On Day 2 our ship surfs the waves of Frontiers of Behaviour, with a strong emphasis on Activism: are YOU ready to make change happen?

On Day 3 we explore the power of the body to reach not only healthy but ecstatic states: natural healing, food, dance and movement and the power of the voice for pushing the Frontiers of the Body to the very edge.

On Day 4 we are exploring the Frontiers of the Mind: amongst many other things we look at the latest developments in psychedelic research and how the ever increasing role of sacred plants is changing peoples lives all over the planet…

On Day 5 we navigate the Frontiers of Art with world renowned sound researchers and visionary artists…

On Day 6 we open our hearts under the full moon in an exploration of the Frontiers of Love and the transition to a new time…

On Day 7 the burning question is “Where to next?” Travels to the Frontiers of Evolution…
