Awaken The Spirit 2012 register early to get the best rates Ceremony and Celebration Bonfire Drumming and Dancing: Since the dawn of time, humans seeking spirit-vision, purification and ecstatic celebration have drummed, danced and chanted around the fire.  Bring your drums, voices and percussive instruments as we celebrate our diversity and union throughout the festival. Wisteria has three designated drumming circles: Stone Circle (sober), Pawpaw (wooded tribal drumming), and Bonfire, the large community gathering place.  At all times of day or night, people drum and dance at their campsites making joyful dancing rhythms.  Come find your authentic, ancient self and join the ecstatic revelry! Nighttime Candle Labyrinth: Follow the labyrinth’s convoluted candle-lined paths for a personal meditative journey of transformation and reflection.  Labyrinths are constructed walking patterns that combine the circle and the spiral into purposeful paths of self-discovery and awareness.  While your interpretation of the experience is your own, many see walking the labyrinth as an active metaphor for life’s journey.  How do you walk?  How do you treat those you meet on the path?  What impressions or ideas do you experience as you journey to the center of your being and back?  How are we all connected during our personal journeys?  Using hundreds of lit candles to define the pathways, the Labyrinth at Cornstalk will glow through the night for journeys of discovery and reflection.   So Much  Coming -- Please Check Back Often . . .   Videos from Wisteria Solstice Festival: An example of concerts on the outdoor stage at last year's festival: FireSpinners with INCUS on the mainstage: KayLouise w/ Dragon Ritual Drummers Main Stage: KayLouise dancing to Pete List BeatBox Guitar - MainStage Performance: Drumming & Bonfire every night:		Solstice Activities: Drumming Dance Oasis Fire Spinning Concerts Annual Greenman medieval-fantasy ball Night Candle Labyrinth Sacred Fire Circle Ceremony Solstice Ceremony Yoga Shopping Nature Walks Kid's Programming Open Mic Night Workshops (more soon)
