Stone Club and resonance join forces again to present HARMONICON 2!
A three-day festival of esoterica, connected by a shared imagination… exploring the harmony between ourselves, HARMONICON is spread around Todmorden, through walks, talks, drones, stones and folkish tones.
The portal opens for an alignment with musicianship, artists, poets, folk and speakers, gathered from the astral fringes for a weekend shindig for motley spirits and unworldly fellow travellers. With interactive experiments, and open sessions, creating good magic in tough times! Based around the gothic Unitarian Church, with more events, after parties and activities in the Golden Lion, Nan Moors, the Workshop & a folk fire pit for anyone to come and reflect.
But what is a Harmonicon you ask? It is a harmonised instrument of stones, resonating and relating with each other. We use this philosophy for a gathering of interconnectivity and chiming the pieces together.
Todmorden is 30 mins from Manchester by train but in a different world. The town is a beacon for the unusual, situated in the centre of the UFO valley, it is steeped in folklore, myth and magic.
This year we will feature a special collaboration between GNOD and Jennifer Reid, as well as weird theatre by Folklore Tapes presenting “Echoes of Light” – reflecting on the energies that bind us together…
From Dervish Whirling to films, guided rambles and lively afters, all helped along with nourishing organic scran and drafts+wine, we unearth the mysteries surrounding us with cymatic lighting, bells, sculpture, sacred stones & much more!
