Summer Officially Welcomed and Celebrated at 3SidedWhole!
Like the 20,000 revelers at Stonehedge, Wholers welcomed
the coming of summer with 3 days of celebrations, shamanic ceremonies,
healing work on each other and fabulous music!
On friday june 18, Pablo once again wowed us with his songwriting, singing
and Guitar mastery. He was so inspired he played down in the community
kitchen, at the fire and in the skyplex also!!
IAnandaBAdam, the guitar flute duo of Ben and Issac, back by popular
demand, once again blew our minds and ears trading instruments
every song and being tighter than ever. This melodic, ryhthmnic duo
plays totally original songs that are uplifting and intruiging and musically complex!
Bravo for these musical argonauts!
On sat june 19th we were treated to one of the most original performances
of all time by Boulder Co guitarist and painter Michael Garfield.
Cheered on by a score of admiring musicians gawking at his brilliant
technique from in front of the stage, he stretched our ears and imaginations
with songs about sex in space, identity and transformation, and
the Future. Ron was so impressed he wants to take him to Hollywood
and get him a star! We are all hoping he returns for an encore performance in August!
Then, late at night Silvermouse, consisting of computer rythmnic texture ace
Jo Jo and her partner Justins acoustic wizardry sonically lit up the whole site
with their textured rhythmic grooves. People were tranced out all over the site
and slept well in musical dreams. Off to tour London now, this duo will
hopefully return in August for an encore also!
Kosmic Temple was a delightful exploration of what we experienced in the event
with a short sermon on the Future by futurologist Michael Garfield that was
intellectuallly invigorating. Vigorous debate over Whole policies,
community development and more revealed peoples inner visions
about the future of whole and were awesome!
Music and Healing (massage, counseling, etc) broke out all over the whole
all weekend. Although it was a small event, 35 or so folks each night, it was
an intense, spirited and memorable event that all participants will remember
for a long time!. Thanks to all the musicians who played in the skyplex, kitchen
around the fire and everywhere and for all the help from everyone with
food, water, dishes, cleaning the site and more!

What a Weekend!!

3SidedWhole Opens for 2010 with Fantastic
Energy, Music and Participation of the Whole Tribe
This Memorial Day weekend 2010 the first benefit for the
3sidedwhole Organic Farm exploded with music, dancing
and shamanic celebration. Over 125 participants helped
create three days of celebration for all! What was most
wonderful was how everyone came out and contributed
amazing energy, food, healing, live music, puppet theatre
shamanic ceremonies, and made the site alive with creativity
love and sharing. The 3sidedwhole nine acres were pristine having been
prepared by the caretaker crew, Maurice and Utah,
and Issa and Maria for days in advance, with the help
of drblue, Chance, Issac, Jenna. Much wood was
brought out by Paul and Kim Winter, Josh
Ron Lawrence, Jeremy, Wally and others to fuel
4 ongoing fires each night.
The event began with a powerful shamanic ceremony by
Lionfire , a Celtic shaman from colorado, Morningstar
from Australia, Sol Shanti on national tour,
and drblue and Chancediva with the presence of THE
PROFESSOR an ancient crystal skull and calling the
directions with intent for nurturing the land, the 3sidedwhole
Tribe and world peace. we also sent our blessings to
Bruce Bush now departed to the east coast. Issa
accompanied the shamanic ceremonies with a gorgeous spontaneous
piano improvisation that was unprecedented!
At the gate Jessica Mills and friends did a wonderful job of
inviting participants in, signing up new club whole members
and having the “party at the gate” that welcomes you to the
event. IAnandaBAdam, flute guitar duo of Issac and Ben put
on a lovely two hour set that glided us into dark with graceful
flowing music, taking turns on the two instruments with mastery of
both. The weather was cool and partly cloudy leading to
amazing vistas of shadows into the desert. Short periods of rain kept us refreshed and the dust down.
Pablo, head of the band LITTLE GODS showed up
as the set was ending after being lost in
the desert for two hours due to a personal religious
experience on the way there, and then
did an amazing solo guitar act from the stage,
until the batteries powering the stage ran out. Rather than stop, he joined us
at the playa campfire and played in the middle us with one of the most
awesome light night displays of talent and songwriting ever
at the whole. Saturday morning brought amazing breakfast treats. more
participants, with Matt and friends entertaining us in the kitchen
and skyplex while we ate pancakes and fruit and other treats.
Music continued all afternoon in the skyplex as people
prepared for a wild saturday night at the Whole. by nighttime the number
of participants had doubled and old and new friends were
everywhere. In the late afternoon the one and only Michael Morton ™
organized the children present into a fantastic puppet play
that they performed for a suprized audience at the skyplex.
it was truly hysterical and the kids were delighted!
Sat night began with the drumming down the sunset ceremony
on the western cliff of the site. The light from the cloudless sun
was spectacularly yellow and red and blinded us with
solar energy!
Saturday night had the second shamanic cermemony to open
the festivities with Lionfire and Morningstar blessing the directions
and drblue in full shamanic feather regalia. Shamanic stories
helped wholers consider the wonder of our presence in the desert
and focus our intent on having “TOO MUCH FUN” to celebrate
as conscious beings our awareness of the beauty health and
compassion we seek with each other. a wave of joy went thru
the circle as we began the evening festivities.
The musical show opened with our favorite
3sidedwhole songster Seth Hoffman, previously from
the Seth and Jacob band and Meat the Vegans, infamous
collections of talented insane musicians. He played old
favorites for us as well as much new material with precision, gusto and
a Paul Simon like mythical feel of stoytelling about our
community. Element 37 led by Dan Garduno and
his original heart felt songs with Cody Jones on drums, Danny
the Harp on keyboards and harp, Devon on bass and Matt on
lead guitar. Sounding somewhat like Tom Petty with reggae bent on
a good day, Dan wowed us original material that rocked and caused much dancing.
TOTEM , led by Issac Barbosa, then blew us away with Issacʼs original material, backed by the same musicians
as Element 37, minus Dan. They played long and powerful
instrumental breaks between the gorgeous lyrics and
stories from the heart that Issac writes. They played until
someone noticed it was 3 30am!
Before and between sets, Maurice served up a tasty menu
of cd mixed songs that were timeless and enjoyable. Firedancers
added magic and fire to the musical happenings!
Sunday morning brought another amazing brunch creation by the
Tribe with Mango pancakes, much fresh fruit and incredible Dan
burritos. Kosmic Temple was convened, opening with a ceremony to
induct drblue as the new Bishop of the Zen Zion Coptic Orthodox Church,
also known as the merry wonderers….rasta without the dreads…
in a semi official ceremony the shamans made him recite a series vows
from the church which everyone seemed to vibe with. He is now available
to perform weddings, separations, shamanic ceremonies and personal
blessings for all as needed.
Poets Sarah and Kia recited wonderful short pieces for the gathering
which were word magic and well received.
We concluded with feedback from the participants for improved the
site, the events, and the community. Dr blue welcomed wholers
to come out and camp and work to improve the site, always bringing
water and supplies for the caretakers.
Next event was announced to the the SUMMER SOLSTICE CELEBRATION
JUNE 18 19 20 featuring SilverMouse, electro acoustic burningman band
Michael Garfield, guitarist from Boulder Colorado , the whole
LITTLE GODS band featuring Pablo.
Thanks to everyone for co creating a wonderful and fluid festival
where everything seemed to go right! ” It was heart warming to
see so many children and families a great time
at the whole and the adults acting like playful children also!!!
