The Village: Spiritual Synaesthesia Trance Party: POSTPONED

South Africa’s most psychedelic and spiritual event returns to ignite the senses and get you stomping along to your favourite local artists


THIS EVENT HAS BEEN POSTPONED UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE

---

Calling all fynbos merry-makers and carnivalesque free-footers; this year’s special edition of the Spiritual Synaethesia is shifting the paradigm to give local some love. It’s all about South Africa: the origin of all species, the source where we began. Get ready to be moved by musical magic on Saturday, 18 and Sunday, 19 April 2015 at Guinevere Guest Farm in Tulbagh.

This is the ninth year of Synaesthesia and a celebration of life, so make sure you bring plenty of gees! Get down to the sick psytrance sounds of Contra, Deliriant, Lester the Jester and Archive, with his twilight psychedelic psyTrashings. Become one with nature and embrace the visions of the shamanic therianthropes as you experience a transformational sound sensation inspired by ancient rock art and the cradle of life. Let loose, feel the love and liberate your primal desires as you vibrate with the beats.

Aside from your spiritual self being nurtured, there are also plenty of facilities for your physical self, including a fabulous shaded dance floor, lots of chill areas, camping amenities, a fully-licensed bar, security, clean toilets and a wonderful variety of food, craft and clothing stalls. All you need to do is rock up with your tent, sunscreen, hat, torch, sunglasses and a great attitude and let the good vibes happen! Remember to decant your drinks as no glass bottles are allowed.
