ONETASTE FEATURES:
* Charlie Morley – Lucid Dreaming workshop: Learn the art of Lucid Dreaming
Charlie Morley has been studying Lucid Dream practices from both the Western Scientific and Tibetan Buddhist schools for over 6 years and was recently authorised by Lama Yeshe Rinpoche (the Abbot of the largest Buddhist temple in the West) to start teaching Lucid Dreaming. Charlie still retains his “day job” of running a performance collective called THROWDOWN and the last time he was on stage at One Taste was actually as a spoken word artist. The workshop will be focused on learning how to lucid dream and exploring the benefits of waking up within your dreams!
* Tim Freke - http://www.timothyfreke.com – Standup Philosophy – Lucid Living talk – come listen, experience and talk with one of the UK’s most acclaimed philosophers and his Big Love theory.
Tim is the author of over twenty books that have established his reputation as a groundbreaking scholar and original free-thinker. First known for his work in unearthing hypocrisies in religion, getting his booked banned in some countries, he is best known for his groundbreaking work on Christian Gnosticism with his close friend Peter Gandy, including The Jesus Mysteries, which was a top 10 best-seller in the UK and USA, and a ‘Book of the Year’ in the UK Daily Telegraph.
Tim is also an innovative ‘stand-up philosopher’ – a concept he developed from the ancient idea of a philosopher as a travelling ‘spiritual entertainer’ who transformed people’s consciousness. I highly recommend coming to hear him talk, to listen, be inspired, to challenge and debate with. It’s an excellent mind and soul experience work out! come see for yourself.
* 1 Giant Leap - http://www.1giantleap.tv – Film screening and Q&A with Jamie Catto – The most amazing documentary of music and life ever.
1 Giant Leap, a ground breaking film made by Duncan Bridgeman and Jamie Catto, marks the 6 year journey of 2 music producers going round the world collecting sounds and thoughts from many different countries and cultures. From A list celebrities, guru’s to villagers, this film manages to unite humanity and deal with the common issues that every human will face whilst on this earth.
1 Giant Leap will be shown throughout the day and night in the Tavistock Room as The OneTaste Festival.
* Folk in a Box – magical 1 on 1 folk performances brought to you by The Dispossessed crew. Featuring songs from Pepe Belmonte, Dom Coyote, Emily Barker, Frank Doody and more!
* Face Painting – http://www.bellafaces.co.uk – Magical designs painted anywhere on your body by Bella Faces
* Yogabeats – David Sye: http://www.yogabeats.com – Freak out Yoga classes where David teaches us all the meaning of letting it all hang out.
Seriously amazing. David is of Russian descent, the son of a scientist mother and artist father. He has been practicing Yoga for over 20 years and has taken his unorthodox methods to troops in the Bosnian war, Gaza, Meditation courses in Tenerife, Abbey Rd Community Centre and Youths at Risk in Easter House, Glasgow and South London. Come and see what Yoga, when you break all the rules, looks like.
* Live Story Writing – collective story writing with your OneTaste favourite poets.
* Bearded Kitten – silly games – http://www.myspace.com/beardedkitten
This crew, infamous for their Secret Garden Party silliness (remember the mud wrestling?), will be filling our experience with roaming antics and games. Watch out for them during the festival. You could be their next victim of silliness!
* Bondage For Freedom – photo booth – http://www.bondageforfreedom.com
Bondage for Freedom are a maverick bunch of creatives pooling their talents to rebel rouse the world into positive change.

Never asking permission, teams of creative take to the streets filling London with creativity with an important humanitarian message at their core.
At the festival, Bondage for Freedom are setting up a photobooth filled with cages, gimp suits, slogans, fancy dress and more.
