In Electronic Awakening, director Andrew Johner lifts the veil on an underground spiritual movement that has developed within electronic music cultures worldwide. This close encounter with the mysticism of rave questions the origin of religion, and offers insight into future of man’s spirituality. It investigates this culture’s significance to the prophecies of 2012, how this bizarre and sacral relationship to electronic music has evolved the group overtime, and where it all seems to be leading them...

ALSO ON FRIDAY NIGHT...

This year, Just Dance becomes an official partner in the Vancouver celebration of EarthDance. On Friday September 23, you are invited to an evening of dancing to some of the best Global Fusion and World Beat music. As FISH recently put it, Just Dance is an opportunity to “get high on MUSIC and on the shiny happy sexy people that show up for these events!”

In the midst this event, we will bring the dance to a standstill and invite everyone to gather in a sacred circle. We will then focus our intention together and share our positive and open vibration of Peace to our immediate communities and extend it to all around the globe. Then everyone present will be offered a candle, light it and share the light with all present in a brief ceremony of Peace exchange. The dance will then resume to more infectious, high-energy, positive Global Beat.

9 PM @ 2114 W. 4th Avenue,
$12 at the door with all net proceeds donated to EarthDance International

The Earthdance Global Link-Up for Peace

The highlight of the annual multi-location Earthdance Festival is a simultaneous link up, when every event across the world plays the Prayer for Peace at the exact same moment – morning in the Australian rainforest, afternoon in California, midnight in London, and sunrise over the Himalayas – the Prayer for Peace is a profound and powerful moment that unifies our intentions for World Peace on all levels.

"We are one global family
All colors, All races
One world united.
We dance for peace and the healing of our planet Earth
Peace for all nations.
Peace for our communities.
And peace within ourselves.
As we join all dance floors across the world,
let us connect heart to heart.
Through our diversity we recognize Unity.
Through our compassion we recognize Peace.
Our love is the power to transform our world
Let us send it out
NOW..."

Followed by spiral dance in honor of the forests of the world. This year we will end the spiral dance with a circle dance and song by the Yawanawa tribe from Acre,Brazil,Please join us in solidarity with the indigenous peoples of Amazonia as we sing one of their songs.
