Dozens of volunteers donate countless hours to its success. We are encouraged by our growing troupe of supporters and attendees. In the past few years, most shows have sold out. Thanks to everyone!<\/p>\n However, we are realistic to the facts of this pandemic.\u00a0 We need to share with you that many of our decisions are complicated.\u00a0 We are still a few months out from “green lighting” the festival.\u00a0 We are currently in a “yellow light”cautious mode of planning, hoping that State and local restrictions will be lifted by November and that we can proceed.\u00a0 Please know that we are doing our best to ensure the health and safety of everyone, plus have another great festival.\u00a0 We appreciate your understanding and patience.\u00a0 We would hope that by May, we might\u00a0 know more, and we will share updates as they are understood or decisions as they are made.<\/p>\n Please tentatively plan to join us in Yachats for the 2021 YCMF on the weekend of \u00a0 November\u00a0 12, 13, 14, 2021.<\/p>\n We are happy to answer any questions and address any concerns.<\/p>\n Slainte,<\/p>\n Robert Rubin perfect@peak.org<\/a><\/p>\n https:\/\/yachatscelticmusicfestival.org\/<\/a><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”3.26.7″][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”3.26.7″][et_pb_divider divider_weight=”3px” _builder_version=”3.26.7″ width=”60%” module_alignment=”center”][\/et_pb_divider][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”4.9.2″ background_enable_image=”off” custom_margin=”||0px||false|false” custom_padding=”||0px||false|false” saved_tabs=”all”][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_5,1_5,3_5″ _builder_version=”3.26.6″][et_pb_column type=”1_5″ _builder_version=”3.26.6″][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_5″ _builder_version=”3.26.6″][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/societyforritualarts.com\/coreopsis\/spring-2021-issue\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/iftr-2020-final-squarejpg.jpg” title_text=”iftr-2020-final-squarejpg” _builder_version=”4.9.2″][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”3_5″ _builder_version=”3.26.6″][et_pb_text module_class=”noindent” _builder_version=”4.9.2″]<\/p>\n For the 2021 IFTR Conference in Galway, the Performance, Religion, and Spirituality Working Group invites proposals for conference papers, participatory activities, performances, and other things that might contribute, within a conference setting, to the investigation of what constitutes a religious, spiritual, mystical, ecstatic experience in performance.<\/p>\n Renewed proposals from people whose proposals were accepted for the canceled conference in 2020 will be re-accepted and new proposals will be reviewed for acceptance according to the places available.<\/p>\n We are particularly interested in exploring what renders a performance religious<\/i> or spiritual<\/i> and what happens to perception, identity, and ecological relationships during these particular kinds of experiences.<\/p>\n If we assume that experience rests in the body and in its interrelations with other bodies, performance is the context where the boundaries between those bodies can be explored, multiplied, erased, liquified, solidified, and exploited. Accordingly, we welcome proposals that engage with embodiment as a condition of performance and as the prerequisite of spiritual and religious kinds of experiences, as well as with the question of where the boundaries between aesthetic and spiritual experiences lie.<\/p>\n We also acknowledge that human embodiment is an ecological field of experience which involves both micro and macro environments and inner and outer landscapes, the perimeters of which are constantly in question depending on the practices in play. We therefore encourage proposals that recognize the natural world as a site for a variety of embodiments and that seek to identify, perhaps, \u2018ecologies of experience\u2019 that may be entwined with the non-human. This will hopefully touch on the politics and forms of resistance that these kinds of experiential events invite and activate.<\/p>\n We encourage a multiplicity of ontological and epistemological perspectives inspired by, but not limited to, the following, suggested themes:<\/p>\n Embodied spiritualities<\/p>\n Religious or spiritual practices and ecology<\/p>\n Submission Instructions:<\/b><\/p>\n Other Links<\/p>\n For any inquiry please contact the PRS conveners:<\/p>\n David Mason [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”3.26.7″][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”3.26.7″][et_pb_divider divider_weight=”3px” _builder_version=”3.26.7″ width=”60%” module_alignment=”center”][\/et_pb_divider][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”4.9.2″ background_enable_image=”off” custom_margin=”||0px||false|false” custom_padding=”||0px||false|false” saved_tabs=”all”][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_5,1_5,3_5″ _builder_version=”3.26.6″][et_pb_column type=”1_5″ _builder_version=”3.26.6″][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_5″ _builder_version=”3.26.6″][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/societyforritualarts.com\/coreopsis\/spring-2021-issue\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/2021-iasd-annual-conference-now-virtual-final-1024×297-1.jpg” title_text=”2021-iasd-annual-conference-now-virtual-final-1024×297″ _builder_version=”4.9.2″][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”3_5″ _builder_version=”3.26.6″][et_pb_text module_class=”noindent” _builder_version=”4.9.2″]<\/p>\n <\/p>\n In order to ensure the safety of our attendees and to avoid the risk of having to cancel our conference once again due to ongoing pandemic conditions, IASD has decided to hold the full 5-day conference virtually via. Zoom.\u00a0 It will be live and interactive with the same symposia, panels, workshops, morning dream groups, and special events offered as had been planned for the onsite program.\u00a0 This not only ensures the safety of participants but increases global access to the full event.<\/p>\n Please join us, along with 5 world renowned keynote speakers and more than 130 presentations from over 100 presenters around the globe. It is more than just a conference; even in its virtual format, it will be an extravaganza of fascinating presentations and special events. Everyone is welcome \u2013 whether you are a professional, a dreamworker, or just a curious or interested dreamer. The program features peer reviewed presentations and workshops, in a multidisciplinary program including the scientific, psychological, spiritual, artistic, healing, lucid and extraordinary, ethnic and cultural aspects of dreaming; and a lot of fun events including opening receptions, a virtual Dream Art Exhibition and a meet the artists reception, the annual PSI Dreaming Contest, and even a virtual gathering for the ever-popular costume parade and Dream Ball. This year\u2019s featured tracks include Dreams and Ethnicity and Dreams and The Arts. For the latter, we plan some special events featuring the Oregon Shakespeare Festival.<\/p>\n
