Update: Find the Others

The staging of Cosmic Trigger in Liverpool has gathered around it a festival or conference (conferestival) called Find The Others - with talks, panels, presentations, etc.

“Everyone carries a piece of the puzzle. Nobody comes into your life by mere coincidence. Trust your instincts. Do the unexpected. Find the others” – Dr Timothy Leary

What is The Conferestival About?

Named in honour of Tim Leary’s call to arms, this gathering of Seekers is a celebration of all things Robert Anton Wilson. It is the collective pulling of the Cosmic Trigger. It is a place of self-learning; a palace of hedonistic joys; a chapel of perils; a meeting of minds (blown just right).

What’s Happening There?

We have a bumper programme of talks, music, cinema, art, performance and ritual. There will be illuminating discussions on Magick, Conspiracy, Consciousness, Science and Art from Discordian luminaries including: Robert Temple (The Sirius Mystery), Adam Gorightly (Historica Discordia), Robin Ince (Infinite Monkey Cage)

There will be artwork from KLF’s Jimmy Cauty and Punk icon Jamie Reid; Music from ShamanArchy, Cosmic Trigger, Steve Fly; Poetry and weird wonderful wild performances; Luxuriantly sculpted psychedelic landscapes; Pods, domes, and caravans with intimate eclectic happenings; Stalls of arcane and wonderful paraphernalia; and so fnordy much more!

What is The Discordian Papal Ball?

Join us for music, performance, and general potty merriment after the play on the Saturday night. It is a chance to dress up and leave your ego at the door. Bring your best Discordian Papal attire and dance the Mind Warp again. Entertainment from Nina Conti, TC Lethbridge, Youth (of Killing Joke), and more…

Will They be Heroic?

Yes, very! We are veterans of consciousness-shifting artfully-anarcho festivals, shows & gatherings. Our previous co-creations include the future-gazing Questival, the inspiring 491 Gallery, the legendaryWarp Experience, and the seminal Synergy Project. The Cosmic Trigger Experience is our culmination – be there or forever remain un-Illuminated.

When and Where Are They?

The Papal Ball is on Saturday 22nd November 2014 from 9:00pm, and the Conferestival is on Sunday 23rd from 11:23am. They are both at the Camp and Furnace in Liverpool. There will be over 800m2 of conferestival space, including two licensed bars and a food cafe. Everything is at ground level with easy access.
