TEDx Talk on transformational festival culture
15 09 2011The presenter may seem seem a tad hoaky at first, but bear with it because it turns into quite a lovely, poetic and emotional summary of the emerging, global psychedelic festival culture from Burning Man to psytrance. Might make a nice introduction for those who may not be familiar.

Erik Davis on the Neotribal Festival Circuit
6 12 2009Superb writing in this excerpt from the introduction to the Tribal Revival photo-book.
Highly recommended!
“At that moment I knew, with almost unbearable conviction, that this exact moment had occurred before, that it echoed back through a thousand years of a thousand dusty stomps, and that all festivals were really just one festival, eternally recurring.
Read Tribal Revival at Reality Sandwich.
See images from the book in this video.

Tribal Revival Book
9 11 2009A photo book about California’s festival culture with essays by Erik Davis is now available:
Every summer, they gather: thousands of hippies and ravers, global travelers and graffiti kids, fire dancers and goddess lovers… They come together to party, to pray, to dance, and to craft a visionary culture based on community, self-expression, and a revitalized earth wisdom. These are the new tribes. This book documents this exciting cultural movement.
website—> TRIBAL REVIVAL BOOK
uplifting video:
Tribal Revival uncovers the stunningly beautiful bodies and wildly creative souls of California’s visionary festival culture. Kyer Wiltshire’s camera exposes the painted, masked and costumed character of each festival, as his panoramic views document the dramatic spectacle. Erik Davis’ essay digs into the historic context and articulates the mythic depth of the festival phenomenon. Meet the tribe that lives their dreams!
– Alex Grey, artist/author

Dance Dance Immolation!
5 07 2009I saw their set-up at Burning Man 2005 and thought the people trying to keep-up with the dance steps in those bulky suits was adorable. (Watching them get blasted with giant flames when they made mistakes is also entertaining, to say the least.)
