SUBSONIC MUSIC
FESTIVAL DEC 1-3 2017
· A presentation
(including poetry and song)
about deep ecology and the conservation of nature followed (either straight
away or in another time slot), by an 1 hour-long experiential
workshop with processes that guide participants into a deepening felt sense of connection to the living
Earth.
· An hour-long
presentation about 40 years of rainforest activism
punctuated by a few of the songs that inspired and harmonised the
movement. This would start with the direct actions which protected the
rainforests on NSW (1982), Tasmania (1983) and Queensland (1986), through our
work in PNG, Ecuador, India, Malaysia to the current campaign to protect the
Los Cedros Biological Reserve to which Subsonic HAS
offered some financial support.
