Burnet, TX — Embracing the spirit of mindfulness and inward reflection in celebrating the winter solstice, the Texas Eclipse Festival proudly unveils the extraordinary lineup for its ‘Fourth Contact’ announcement. As we come together to commemorate the exceptional celestial event of the Total Solar Eclipse and collectively cast our eyes skyward, we look forward to what the future holds for our species, our planet, and the uncharted territories awaiting discovery.
Texas Eclipse will transform Reveille Peak Ranch (1 hour from ATX) into a magnificent sanctuary of music, creativity, inspiration, and cultural exchange at the Eclipse Village for five days and nights. Together, thousands of participants will create an unparalleled convergence of captivating art installations, a multitude of musical genre performances, space exploration, cutting-edge technology, futurism with pioneers in web3 and AI, and the wonders of nature. This vibrant gathering will feature performances, holistic/wellness workshops, interactive experiences and so much more.
The prevailing theme that unites these participants is the recognition of our interconnectedness on this collective journey. Texas Eclipse serves as a catalyst for fostering and building connectivity among human beings, emphasizing the universal threads that bind us together. In celebrating the diversity of experiences within science, tech, art, music, and wellness, the festival becomes a microcosm of unity, where shared passions and collective exploration underscore the profound truth that, indeed, we are all in this together.
“Texas Eclipse is a gathering which will celebrate the bringing together of different communities that have never converged before in this way. An event of this magnitude and scale is nothing less than a miracle every time. It literally takes a team of super heroes to pull it off. What’s coming together for Texas Eclipse is like a fine cloth vs a patchwork, and each thread is curated one by one and woven together by hand. Collectively, our collaborators and participants bring forth a diverse array of resources, fostering a holistic approach for initiating meaningful change on our planet. This lineup stands distinct from typical festivals by purposefully deviating from conventional styles. It intertwines longtime traditions with a contemporary vision, striving to innovate while honoring heritage.” – Gwen Gruesen, Symbiosis Gathering
