SYNOPSIS	TITLE	Explanation - Experimental Shamanic Trance Dance, Sacred Plant and Sound System Workshop
	FORMAT	Lecture
	Following my presentations from the EGA 2004 and 2005 and the feedback and group discussions I feel that the next and most appropriate step for the 2006 Conference is to present an Experimental Workshop. This experimental workshop is an invitation to those individuals who are interested in the trance dance experience as providing an opportunity for mind/body/spirit/soul development. EGA 2006 will be a unique opportunity for people who are experienced in the dance floor and consciousness development approach to try something new, different, fun and well focused, that is totally aimed at extending the boundaries of each participants current experiential and knowledge paradigms.

	TITLE	Experimental Shamanic Trance Dance and Sound System Workshop
	FORMAT	Workshop
	Participants are asked to be prepared for a full consciousness 6 hour trance dance. For the purposes of this workshop participants will be asked to bring a focused mindful spiritual dimension to the event on all levels. An earth based ritual will be conducted to create a sacred dance floor space whereby all workshop participants become *co-creators in this ceremony. The elements of fire, water, earth and air with be invoked and acknowledged. The 6 hour trance dance ritual will be loosely based on Joseph Campbells ‘Mythos’* of the Hero’s Journey in such that the trance dance shamanic journey consciousness workshop we will all be taking is not something new but is essentially the same story told throughout millennia by all cultures at all times. The space will be set up so that focus is towards the centre of the dance floor where there will be a ‘sacred’ fire. This moves the focus from the *proscenium arch* performance construct and brings the event further forward for the individuals as a *co-creators*.
