Organiser: Swiss Chris
Where: Middle of Nowhere

Info: The AUM is based on the understanding that in order to be silent, the western mind first needs to get rid of tension and stress. The 12 stages of this highly active and interactive meditation take you on a rollercoaster ride into yourself. Your co-meditators become mirrors in which you will be able to see yourself clearly. The stages feature a variety of emotional expression, Bio-energetic exercises, dance and encounter.  You move through the whole spectrum of human emotions, including anger, love, sadness, laughter and chaos, from one extreme to the other, to come finally to a deep inner silence. Then you are ready to meet each other with an open loving heart. The AUM is an ideal opportunity to refresh old friendships and create new ones. It gives energy, you get rid of tension and stress, it heals wounds, it is healthy for body, mind and spirit, and it gets you in touch with your power and vitality. At the end of this two and half hour structure you experience a deep sense of warmth and relaxation, and it is time for love and celebration.  For more information  http://www.aum-meditation.ch/nowhere/Wiki_AUM.htm

20:00 - 20:30 CASSEROLES in solidarity with Quebec students strike
Organiser: Ringo
Where: gathering at the middle of Nowhere, then walking around
Event Type: Art
Info: Hey deariesHave you heard about what's happening in Quebec?Here is a brief reminder : vimeo.com/42702955 I  live in Montreal and within the past month I ve witness both disgusting acts of police violence, super natural political and mediatic demagogy but also one of the most beautiful common awakening. Symptoms involve gifting, self expression, spontaneous artistic performances and an amazing sense of solidarity. The strike was started by students, but it's been a month that it's mostly families and elders that gather every night at 8 outside their apartment to bang on pots. This symphony is here to remind the government that this "silent majority" that is supposed to support them is being way too silent, and that the Quebec population is not stupid and blind. They are angry at corruption, at the absence of ecological and social consciousness, the marchandising of culture, knowledge and natural ressources, and they are eager to change things. Like us, right?  I've been seeing signs lately that warm up my lil' heart, they say "this is not a student protest, it's a nation awakening" (sorry for the bad translation) In solidarity with the students (and people!!) of Quebec, there has been many "Casseroles" ("pots" in french) protest around the world.  How about some Casseroles at Nowhere? I m looking for a filmmaker willing to film the event and mount it in order to take part in the very important part of the process that is happening online. A 2-3 minutes videoclip of beautiful people banging on pots in the desert from a 10-15 minutes action ?  Thursday, at 8 let's gather and bang on pots together, not only is it super fun but I think that the new interest for festivals like Burning Man and Nowhere is part of a more global movement which is visible through world wide student protests, but also all the Occupy movements for example. People want to rebuild society, to get closer to a possible utopia. To me, Nowhere is about that too. Let's make it more than just a party in the desert and gather to bang on pots and make a short film to put on youtube!
