Awareness Village


Our Awareness Village for 2012 will feature an Acoustic Music Stage, Children’s Entertainment Area with music and interactive fun, a beer and wine garden, not-for-profit exhibitor tables, performance and sculpture art, physical and spiritual healing, and much more!

The Awareness Village is located on the West side of the venue opposite the campground area.

Massage and Chiropractic: Therapeutic massage sessions and chiropractic treatments will be available throughout the weekend in the Awareness Village and to VIP’s in the VIP Tents.  Licensed massage therapists will provide professional grade sessions with your choice of relaxing swedish, shiatsu, deep tissue or chair massage. Sessions cost $1/minute. Please visit the Awareness Village for a complete listing of therapies offered.

Artist Signings: Meet your favorite Mountain Jam artists as they sign merchandise and take pictures after their sets. There will be a schedule posted daily at the Radio Woodstock Artist Signing Tent in the Awareness Village.

The Orbitron: Designed by MIT engineers and built by NASA to help us find & enter into the elusive, mysterious… “ZONE”. Finding one’s ‘sea legs’ on the Orbitron is as easy as standing up on a playground swing. The Orbitron experience is completely under your control. For some, it’s enough to climb aboard & dip their toes in Zero-Point energy. Others are more bold. In either case, the Orbitron is an exhilarating, liberating experience!

Wright’s Farm Market: Wright’s Farm is a five-generation family run farm located in Gardiner. On 453-acres they grow apples, cherries, peaches, plums, nectarines, berries, tomatoes, pumpkins, squash, and more. Stop by the Farmer’s Market in the Awareness Village for a selection of fruits and veggies, homemade baked, jams, jellies, pickles, and apple sauces with the freshest local ingredients available, “farm to jar” so to speak.

Between the Worlds: If you are looking for greater insight and direction in your life or for “choice centered” predictions of future events a psychic reading may be right for you. A trained psychic reader is able to see subtle, but powerful energies and influences around you that are unperceivable by most. Here, we can help you to understand how your personal patterns, choices and outside influences have effected your life and also show you how to make shifts in your patterns to create greater harmony and joy. Stop by!

True Mirror Palace:A place to for you to discover an amazing new you – the you that everyone else sees. Inside the Palace are True Mirrors – mirrors that reflect you correctly, without reversing left and right. Make eye contact and see your sparkle like never before!

Beer & Wine Garden: Enjoy organic, kosher certified and other unique beers and wines.

Not-For-Profit Exhibitors

Headcount is a grassroots organization that uses the power of music to register voters and raise political consciousness. Since 2004 we’ve staged voter registration drives at over 2,000 concerts and signed up over 175,000 voters. We reach young people and music fans where they already are – at concerts and online – to inform and empower. Our message is not about what party you support or where you land on an issue. It’s that you must speak to be heard. 50¢ out of every ticket gets donated to Headcount.

Rock the Earth works to protect some of the country’s most threatened places through partnerships with the music industry and the world-wide environmental community. Through Rock the Earth’s annual comprehensive education and outreach program, thousands of concert and festival attendees learn about important environmental issues and are moved to take action. Stop by the booth in the Awareness Village to learn more.

Frack Action is an organization working to protect our water, air, and public health from the dangerous practice of hydraulic fracturing, or fracking. We are engaged in a legislative advocacy, grassroots organizing, and public awareness campaign aimed at exposing the truth on fracking and building the critical mass necessary to stop it. We know that there is no safe way to frack, and the only way to protect ourselves is a ban on fracking.

Food Bank Of The Hudson Valley The Food Bank of the Hudson Valley is dedicated to alleviating hunger, while preventing the waste of wholesome food.

Music for Occupy’s mission is to inspire and celebrate through music the Occupy Wall Street movement and the 99% who’ve been adversely affected by the economic corruption that has permeated our Democracy, created a near insurmountable disparity in wealth, and hindered life, liberty, justice and the pursuit of an honest living for all. Music For Occupy is in solidarity with Occupy Wall Street, and all proceeds above board attained through the production and distribution of “Occupy This Album: a compilation of music by, for and inspired by the Occupy Wall Street movement and the 99%” will go directly towards the needs of sustaining this growing movement.
