I hear a drum in my soul’s ear
Coming from the depths of the stars”
Mevlana jalauddin rumi

Synergy is an environmental and cultural information network, creating spaces where those working on the cutting edge of cultural and social expression combine, using a variety of media, to conceive a place where creative energies are liberated and the spiritual dimension of our lives is unveiled.

For meaningful social change to occur, a significant cultural paradigm shift is necessary, particularly in the west, away from lifestyles which value material growth, acquisition and consumption towards ones which value spiritual concerns – the environment, community, family and the wider cosmos.

Exploring and challenging established orthodoxies of progress, development and civilisation, synergy is an on-going process of self and community development, recognising that how we work together and resolve issues relating to power, control and ego, are of the utmost importance – change within being a necessary pre-condition for change without.

On the return trip home gazing out toward the stars
I suddenly experienced the universe
As intelligent, loving and harmonious.
Edgar Mitchell, Astronaut

in the Main Room…
The Synergy Dance Experience

to dance is to be out of yourself.
Larger, more beautiful, more powerful.
This is power, it is glory on earth and it is yours for the taking
-Agnes De Mille

All is One dance workshop – a guided journey to true connectedness.

Dance away the boundaries of seclusion and harmonize with your true self, mother earth and all beings. Imagine a dance floor that is charged with love, generated by truly letting go, interacting with your deeper self and others. The workshop will take place from 10pm until midnight, creating the foundation for the later parts of the night! This will be a smoke free, wooden floored take your shoes of and roll on the ground if you like experiment.

we are not going to be able to operate our spaceship earth successfully unless we see it as a whole spaceship and our fate as common. It has to be everybody or nobody…We are called to be architects of the future, Not its victims….each one of us could make the difference.
