RonnySimulacrum Posted March 30, 2005 Due to the success of the ‘Entheogenesis Australis’ conference in June 2004 we are announcing our plans to step things up a notch for 2005. We have a few ideas for the conference that we would like you to consider and we would greatly appreciate your feedback. Proposal for ‘Entheogenesis Australis 05’: Location: Private Camp at the Foothills of the Grampians Duration: 2 days Activities: - (1st day)- Talks/ Presentations - (night)- Party - (2nd Day) Workshops, Market/ Trades Some benefits of using the Grampians site. - plenty of space (for activities, stalls, fun etc) - privacy (no distractions or interruptions) - beautiful energy - cabins and camping area on the conference site - relatively close to S.A (so more people from Adelaide & can attend) - We can get a little silly, get a little loud, perhaps even naked… who knows these are Ethnobots after all So if you could take the time to do our survey and also suggest any speakers or other useful comments we would greatly appreciate it.

RonnySimulacrum Posted March 30, 2005 One thing I will say about the music (if we have it)is that it will be some way from the camping area and facing the other way as not to keep people up. Some people will just won’t to chill and chat and others wont to dance, we will make space for both. :D [ 29.

occidentalis Posted March 30, 2005 My response probably isn't worth that much because it's a little far for me to travel, but since I'm often in melbourne midyear there is some chance I'll be able to come. I know we're a long way away over here and it's easy to forget we exist, but Australia is actually a lot bigger than that narrow band on the east coast. Perhaps WA could be included as an option in the poll? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RonnySimulacrum Posted March 30, 2005 I am so sorry all you WA people. I had it on my paper work and some how is did not get posted. I am a dill. Hope you can make it down creach.

occidentalis Posted March 30, 2005 RonnySimulacrum: I am so sorry all you WA people. Sorry Ronny, I was a bit harsh.It was pretty obvious that you'd just forgotten, after all you included the NT which has far fewer members than WA. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Amulte Posted March 30, 2005 RonnySimulacrum - i sent him heaps of messages but no response,he was reading em. lol ive still got em all, i never got abusive either. he seamed like a nice guy, bought me a beer for petes sake. :confused: at first i just thought he was busy? maybe im just too much of a freak. :D lol i do think that would be it, im more into the shamanistic side of things rather than ethnobotany. some do fail to distinguish between the two but there is a difference. now that doesn't mean the two cant exist together as thats what im trying, having been more into the shamism than the ethnobot side. but ill stop the whining and theard hijack. Im looking forward to the event heaps though. EDIT - hmm, ya know your right, i should prolly give him a call, he did give me his number [ 31.

Entheo Posted March 30, 2005 "Question 10 of 10: 9. I prefer this new idea better than the old format (Library and or Rubys)? " I suspect there can be more than two options here. This one will be better for certain activities such as bushwalking than the other two were. But if its pissing down rain, then the other two would be more confortable (we are in winter) even with the cabins. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jack Posted March 30, 2005 I have a a wife and a couple of kids, so attending this sort of event may be a bit difficuly for me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RonnySimulacrum Posted March 30, 2005 Well, yes and know We are still holding the conference in a big hall like structure, rain is not going to interfere with the conference, more the Partying or other fun (which is secondary), but it never rains down there anyway, they are still in a drought. The camping and lodging is a 2minut walk from the kitchen and hall. Let me see if I can fin a pic. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v623/kar...mmons/Site2.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v623/kar...mmons/Site1.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v623/kar...immons/spot.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v192/ron...oorDale-net.jpg Cabins on one side of Triptamind stage and hall on the other The only shortcomings in my mind are there MUST be a cost (approximately $50) associated with the conference and we are further from Melbourne, but these are shortcomings fare outweighed by the benefits.

RonnySimulacrum Posted March 30, 2005 Jack: I have a a wife and a couple of kids, so attending this sort of event may be a bit difficuly for me.
