SINCE THE BEGINNING OF TIME, MANKIND HAS USED MUSIC AND DANCE TO COMMUNE WITH THE SPIRIT OF NATURE AND THE SPIRIT OF THE UNIVERSE. WE ARE TRYING TO USE TRANCE MUSIC AND THE TRANCE DANCE EXPERIENCE TO SET OFF A CHAIN REACTION IN CONSCIOUSNESS. THROUGH THE TRANCE DANCE EXPERIENCE HOPEFULLY PEOPLE WILL BECOME MORE SENSITIVE AND AWARE OF THEMSELVES, THEIR SURROUNDINGS, THE CROSS-ROADS OF HUMANITY AND THE NEEDS OF THE PLANET. WITH THAT SENSITIVITY AND AWARENESS COMES UNDERSTANDING AND COMPASSION, THAT IS THE NEED OF THE HOUR, AND THE TRUE SPIRIT OF OUR MUSIC AND OUR TRANCE DANCE GATHERINGS. (GOA GIL)   THE SAN FRANCISCO TRANCE PARTY-SCENE STARTED IN THE EARLY 90'S WITH THE INFAMOUS FLOPPY PARTIES WITH DJ GOA GIL, OLLI WISDOM AND BRAD TUMBLEWEED. IT LATER EVOLVED INTO C.C.C ( CONSORTIUM OF COLLECTIVE CONSCIOUSNESS ) PARTIES , WHICH IS ATRAVELLER'S LIVING SPACE IN AN OUTRAGEOUSLY BEAUTIFUL, FLUORO-DECORATED WAREHOUSE IN THE HEART OF SAN FRANCISCO. NOT ON REGULAR BASIS INDOOR AND OUTDOOR PARTIES ARE ORGANIZED BY C.C.C. ,CEIBA RECORDS, SPACE STATION RUSS, HUNAB-KU ( RECORD DISTRIBUTION) AND SILVER PALM LEAF (THE COMPANY PRODUCING THE INTERGALACTIC SMOKING DEVICE . THOSE GATHERINGS ARE HELD IN THE MANY S.F. WAREHOUSES, OR PREFERABLY IN BEAUTIFUL SECLUDED OUTDOOR LOCATIONS IN THE FORESTS AND BEACHES AND DESERTS AROUND THE BAY AREA. "IF YOU FOLLOW YOUR BLISS, YOU PUT YOURSELF ON A KIND OF TRACK THAT HAS BEEN THERE ALL THE WHILE, WAITING FOR YOU, AND THE LIFE THAT YOU OUGHT TO BE LIVING IS THE ONE YOU ARE LIVING. WHEREVER YOU ARE - IF YOU ARE FOLLOWING YOUR BLISS, YOU ARE ENJOYING THAT REFRESHMENT, THAT LIFE WITHIN YOU, ALL THE TIME." (JOSEPH CAMPBELL)	OUR ORGANIZERS ALWAYS UNDERTAKE GREAT EFFORTS TO CREATE AN INSPIRING AND BEAUTIFUL ENVIRONMENT FOR THE ALL -NIGHT CELEBRATIONS BY DECORATING THE URBAN LOCATIONS WITH THE COUNTLESS UNIQUE BLACKLIGHT-BACKDROPS AND SCULPTURES OWNED AND CREATED BY THE MEMBERS OF C.C.C. OR BY SCOUTING OUT SECLUDED AND BEAUTIFUL OUTDOOR LOCATIONS THAT OFTEN CAN ONLY BE REACHED AND FOUND BY DEVOTED AND RESPONSIBLE MEMBERS OF OUR COMMUNITY. HERE WE CAN CONNECT WITH THE BEING AND COMPLETENESS OF NATURE AND OUR OWN TRIBAL HERITAGE WHILE UNDERSTANDING THAT IN THESE SACRED SPACES WE ARE OUR MOTHER NATURES´S GUESTS AND MAKING SURE THAT WE "TAKE NOTHING AND LEAVE ONLY OUR FOOTSTEPS BEHIND". USUALLY A TRANCE PARTY STARTS WITH A RITUAL , A MEDITATION AND DRUM CIRCLE. IT IS NOT UNCOMMON THAT HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE GATHER FOR A SILENT MEDITATION BEFORE THE PARTY TO CENTER AND CONNECT THEIR ENERGIES AND PREPARE THEMSELVES FOR AN EXPLOSIVE AND MIND-BLOWING JOURNEY AND A COLLECTIVE EXPERIENCE OF ONENESS AND COSMIC "EMPTINESS" - THE BEING IN HERE AND NOW . "THIS FREEDEOM YOU CANT DESCIBE IN WORDS- THE BEST DESCRIPTIO IS IN THE EYES AND WALK OF ONE DRUNK ON THE BLISS OF SELF" ( SRI S.H.R. POONJA)
