Imagine Music Festival, a 3-day camping electronic dance music festival in Atlanta, Georgia this August 26 – 28, 2016 at the Atlanta Motor Speedway, has announced details surrounding its highly anticipated The Imaginarium. Inspired by the lost city of Atlantis, Imagine invites guests to experience all the wonders of this technologically and spiritually advanced civilization, which was highlighted by mystics, scientists, artists, sages, healers, seekers and wisdom keepers with sacred and hidden knowledge of the universe. Amongst the many wonders of The Imaginarium will be the Center of Consciousness, which focuses on sacred teachings such as Flow Arts, Yoga, Meditation, Qi Gong, and prophecies with wisdom keepers and mystics. The Center of Consciousness will function both as a site for learning and sacred ceremonies such as drum circles and central fires. Within this area, guests can also partake in live painting, art installations and a gallery, henna tattoos and more. “This year we continue the fairytale. Our aquatic experiences from misting domes, splash pool, fountains and more allow guests to become fully immersed in their environment while keeping cool,” says Iris Presents founders Glenn and Madeleine Goodhand. “With your hearts fulfilled by the music, we want to serve your mind as well. This year you will find more transformational arts and workshops that complement the music and forge a personal journey to something deeper.”
