OFF: Stonehenge 2001 - The Odyssey Continues

[Z E Itgeist]

The Solstice Experiment - June20th  - All night – 8pm-9am
A unique collaboration between English Heritage (our govenment)
& the community at large.  A brave experiment in healing the past,
& embracing our future

After the ground breaking gathering at Stonehenge Solstice experiment
2000,English Heritage have agreed to allow full access for all to the
stones
again this year from 8pm on the night of the 20th June till 9am on the
morning of the 21st –

This open access has been gained through years of delicate painstaking
negotiations between English Heritage and interested parties in the
community, we believe that there is a sincere desire for this “free and
open
access to all” to continue and grow, but it is dependent on us to keep to
the
agreements that have been made (see terms of access) and to leave promptly
without fuss at 9am.

**IMPORTANT INFO **
This “managed access” is anacoustic event, sound systems will be
confiscated
if any attempt is made to setup.
Contrary to the rumours that have been circulating, there is NO LEGAL PARTY
that has been sanctioned by the authorities,
Both Wiltshire and Hampshire police have stated that there will be zero
tolerance towards any attempt to setup an illegal party in either county.
Please accept this situation so that we can continue with the journey
toward
more and more access to the stones.

Dogs will not be allowed inthe area of the stones

You are invited andencouraged to bring acoustic instruments and creative
toys
and projects toshare with the gathering.
Bring warm and waterproof clothing .
There will be food stands vegetarianand otherwise

The actual solstice is around 8:30am on the 21st, the dawn around 4:00 am.

Last year about 8000 of us danced and rejoiced all night in torrential
rain,
wewere self policed and it took only 40 police to be present throughout
thegathering, and they mostly stood by and watched - this was a tremendous
stepforward considering the history of this gathering - years of riot
police
andprohibition.

This step forward due to a tremendous amount of dedicated negotiation
fromindividuals on all sides of the equation, with give and take from
everyone throughthe truth and reconciliation commission for Stonehenge

We are moving into a new era- after a thousand yearsof war the
human race is reaching beyond our scars, our pain, ourcynicism for the
possibility
that we can live together on this planet  in a way that works for all of
us.

The "Summer Solstice Experiment" is ametaphor for our
aspiration, and an exercise in bringing that
possibility into three-dimensional reality.

No matter what has come before, our future is created by
the possibility that we embrace in the present moment.

By embracing the optimum possibility for this Stonehenge event,
we  increase the likelihood of it beingsuccessful,
adding one more grain of sand to the scales that hold the balance for our
global future –

Remember at certain point, one grain of sand can tip the scales one way or
the other,

Your input right now may be that grain of sand.
