Unchartered Territory - (09/05/08 - 09/07/08)

Important Change

The venue has changed once again! sorry for such inconveniences, but there was some issues with the previous venues so it is now IN IOWA CITY. IT WILL BE A 2 NIGHT event.

The saturday night venue will be of epic proportions!

First there was the journey and now new lands have been discovered, unlike anything previously encountered.

The map led us to the uncharted paths of thought and mind, and Psyowa now will implement the first reoccurring 3day trance festival of its kind. To those that live far away and have been looking for a good reason to come visit, here it is :) To those that live close, this is a festival experience previously unknown to the Iowa area, and is something that all energy seekers and imagination innovators alike should not miss.
