Evolver NYC Spore: Shamanic Panic
In tribal societies, shamans are healers and visionary leaders who
go through dangerous initiations to gain knowledge from the spirit
world. Modern culture repressed and dismissed shamanism as archaic and
irrational. Today, our society seems increasingly irrational, unable to
change its course in the face of looming environmental and economic
catastrophe. Shamanic practices such as soul retrieval, journeys with
sacred plants, and ecstatic dance are gaining popularity. What meaning
and value do these techniques have for us today? Join us for an evening
of “Shamanic Panic,” as we discuss, experience, and explore.
We will kick-off the evening with traditional shamanic music and a
meet and greet for fellow Evolvers. Then Daniel Pinchbeck will discuss
the state of shamanism in contemporary society. We will be joined by
Manuel Rufino, an ayahuasquero and healer from Native American
traditions, Itzhak Beery, founding member of the New York Shamanic
Circle, and Barnaby Rhue, a local “shamanista,” for a discussion of
their practices. Then the New York Shamanic Circle will guide us
through a journey of the self. Barnaby will also lead an optional
journey to find your personal power animal. Celebrate your spirit,
connect with others, and collaborate with the powers of the shamanic
community. Drinks will be for sale. Everyone is welcome–bring your
friends!

Globesonic August Pier Party
This Friday August 14th we will be celebrating life together again
at our GlobeSonic Summer On The Hudson Party. I’m especially excited as
some health issues forced me to miss our event in July. This party is
by far my favorite event of the year. It’s not only because we get to
spin some of our favorite songs in such a spectacular location, or that
I get to spend some time with Derek and Bill, but it’s because of the
incredible community that comes together. I’ve always used the word
‘reunion’ in describing our Pier parties, and they are just that. The
many chapters of my life, of Derek’s life, of Bill’s life, of your life
all descend on the shores of Manhattan to dance together and reconnect.
It’s a blessing the city has given us license to do this now for
5-years. Forward and share this gift with your friends. One love,
Fabian Alsultany & The GlobeSonic Family. GlobeSonic Sound System

Blinkie Workshop Burner Fundraiser
Hey Burners, Just wanted to let you know that we’re continuing our fundraiser for
Camps Image Node and Disorient (two of the blinkiest camps at Burning
Man) with another Blinky Tupperware Party this weekend. If you’re
interested in buying a Volver and learning how to solder + put it
together, the Nodelab will be open both days this weekend, so you can
get your Boom Boat and your solder on too. If you haven’t seen Volver,
it is a 6×6 blinky kit with patterns by Imagenode and Disorient
members. You will be blinking in style. It comes in red, blue, green,
white, yellow, orange, and pink. Don’t worry if you’ve never soldered
before — we’ll teach you how and make sure your blinky works. And if
you’re a nerd, we’ll get you started on hacking it. Kits will cost $40
cash at the studio, $5 cheaper than on the Internets. Please RSVP as
we have a bunch of soldering irons but don’t want to keep you waiting.
It takes 2-2.5 hours to put together a blinky if you’ve never soldered
before, so we’ll have slots at 2 PM and 5 PM both days. Please specify
Saturday or Sunday and 2 or 5 PM when you RSVP to twina@imagenode.org.
All funds will go towards helping Image Node and Disorient blow your
mind on the playa.

Re-fusing Structures – Week 6: Affect, Creativity & Action
Affective Politics and the Imagination of Everyday Resistance with
Jack Z. Bratich & Stevphen Shukaitis. Recently, “affect” has been
a key concept for research in politics, aesthetics, marketing,
neuroscience, and sociology. This course seeks to draw together some of
the more innovative work within this “affective turn,” focusing on the
political composition of subjectivities, especially via cultural
practices. After a survey of some conceptual foundations of
affectivity, we explore its relation to group-formation, labor,
technology, value, passions (fear, panic, trauma, joy, love), actions,
and creativity. The course will feature guest speakers engaged in
affective politics and involve group discussions on the affective
nature of practices participants are involved in. Pre-register in
person at Bluestockings. Course participants need to submit their
payment prior to the first meeting (cash only). There will be a maximum
enrollment of 20 students for this course. Please check the website
for the reading list beforehand.
