Desiderata 2010: June 23, 24, 25, 26, 27 at Gelston Castle Estate, Mohawk NY
Ah yes. Winter is here in full force. It is mercilessly cold, the holidays have gone, and work/school/life is here.
The only thing keeps us going is a dream of summer. We need something tangible to look forward to, to warm our hearts
and minds during the following months.
Which is why we'd like to announce Desiderata Festival 2010.
Desiderata Festival is about celebrating life, about reconnecting with your fellow brothers and sisters through a rich
cultural and social experience. It's not just about music, that is but one facet of the human experience. Interacting
with your fellow human beings, reigniting that spark that winter has sought to extinguish, experiencing the pure joy
of being alive and being part of a gathering of like-minded evolved humans, engaging in dialogue to better understand
and connect with each other-that is what Desiderata is.
Expect new and diverse breeds of music. Meet members of the world community and participate in workshops, lectures,
and political discussions. Expect the avant-garde and the abstract: indie film premieres, art installations and multimedia
performances.
Experience and discover music that will help you transcend the petty day-to-day issues out in the real world. Let loose
and dance to wash away the stress of life. Watch and join actors performing theater. Sit by the fire and instinctively
remember a simpler time, when every person, musician or non-musician would sing, drum, play an instrument, in harmony
with each other, exposing their true selves without shame to their fellow human beings. All your senses aflame, your mind stimulated,
your heart pumping with the utter joy of sharing life with others...
You are now part of the tribe, the Desiderata Tribe.
This years gathering will take place on 23rd - 27th of June, at the Gelston Castle Estate, Mohawk NY.
You expressed your feedback and ideas, we listened; now we urge you to take an active role in this endeavor!

This is sweet. Bummer it may conflict with GMSF... I am absolutely amazed they would allow another festival at Gelston after all the complaints last year. |

We made sure to clear the date with Gaian Mind before booking Desiderata.
All the complaints from last year were received from just a few people. The rest of the town were happy campers, having received a significant influx of funds 
Regardless, we are working with the township and the neighbors who were inconvenienced.
More details will follow soon.. |

If you need a suggestion - depending on how many neighbors were affected last year you can always offer to put them up in a hotel for the time the festival is going on. Might be difficult since this is 5 days, but could be worth a shot.

June is a horrible month for this you guys should really move it back to August. Already too much stuff going on in June. Just my two cents but if people have to chose between traveling for Gemini or this there gonna choose Gemini.

"We made sure to clear the date with Gaian Mind before booking Desiderata. "
Even better news. way to be proactive in the community and the what not. I'm sure if you turn the bass down a touch everyone will be ok. Frankly I thought it was a bit overwhelming for 4 days in a row but perhaps I should have thought of that before I set my tent up next to the main stage. best of luck.
its impossible to avoid scheduling conflicts with the shear amount of festivals these days...gemini is clear across the country and despite its gleaming reputation as a psy festival this will be a different kind of get down for sure. frankly if I had the money I'd go to gemini in a heartbeat but alas, the imaginary economy has me pinching pennies |

hey really excited about this one! I'll definitely be there again, as long as the line up was similar to last year! keeping the nights dark and the mornings light (about an hour after the sunrises, I like some dark for the sunrise). Jellyheadz, Grapes, Parus, Ajja, Melorix, Yab Yum, Lauryn & Eg-bot, Transdriver, Onkel Donkel ---- what a dream come true!
and I'm sure the morning lovers were happy too with Mexican Trance Mafia, cosmosis, space tribe, etc. what a great party -- but this time I'm not camping in the cracked-out/schwillfest/drug store field. |

There is not going to be such a field.
Otherwise, thanks for the enthusiasm! |
