TITLE
The One Made Many – collective ritual in 23 minutes.

ABSTRACT
An inclusive, participatory ritual, open to all faiths and none. To celebrate the Spirit in The Flesh, the Sacred in the Profane, Eternity in Time. The One Made Many in each of us, as unique individual manifestations of an integrated mycelium, a mushroom-fruiting body. Together we enter a state of shining emptiness, wherein The One is Nothing and even Nothing is No Thing, as evoked in The Heart Sutra. We embody the elements, sinking roots in Earth, a silver thread drawing us up into the Air, shaking to wake the fire, floating in water. To culminate in dance and unconditional blessings. Come join us in this act of co-creation to express the emerging spirituality of psychedelic dance culture.
