The Awareness Village

Back once again and offering even more exciting activities this year is The Awareness Village!

The Awareness Village at Mountain Jam is the place to come and hang, relax and expand your mind! It was such a tremendous hit last year. We have expanded the cosmic experience with even more amazing attractions making it an awesome place to kick back & hang during the festival. Expand personal and planetary consciousness through deepening spiritual, environmental and social awareness!

Like the pulsing beat of live music,

creation is quickening its rhythms as we evolve
into the next phase of life on this planet.

Are we aware of its rhythm?
Are we intending to synchronize our unique rhythms
and movements in our lives with the
greater rhythms of the cosmos?

Come check out the unique and eclectic mix of ancient and cutting edge healing modalities, shamanic healings and clearings, spiritual information, tools and much more.

Join with us in deepening our awareness of the profound potential and responsibility that exists within each of us and in humanity at this time of the Great Awakening.

Community Energy is a marketer and developer of wind energy generation founded in 1999 in Tadnor, Pennsylvania. Its mission is to supply the demand for fuel-free energy through the construction of new wind farms. Community Energy donated NY wind energy credits to Mountain Jam to offset 100% of the electricity used at the 2008 festival. In doing so, Mountain Jam was able to offset 5000 pounds of carbon dioxide emissions, the equivalent of planting over 350 trees, or not driving over 5700 miles.
