HARMONICON 2

Stone Club and resonance join forces again to present HARMONICON 2!

A three-day festival of esoterica, connected by a shared imagination… exploring the harmony between ourselves, HARMONICON is spread around Todmorden, through walks, talks, drones, stones and folkish tones.

The portal opens for an alignment with musicianship, artists, poets, folk and speakers, gathered from the astral fringes for a weekend shindig for motley spirits and unworldly fellow travellers. With interactive experiments,  and open sessions, creating good magic in tough times! Based around the gothic Unitarian Church, with more events, after parties and activities in the Golden Lion, Nan Moors, the Workshop & a folk fire pit for anyone to come and reflect.

But what is a Harmonicon you ask? It is a harmonised instrument of stones, resonating and relating with each other. We use this philosophy for a gathering of interconnectivity and chiming the pieces together.

Todmorden is 30 mins from Manchester by train but in a different world. The town is a beacon for the unusual, situated in the centre of the UFO valley, it is steeped in folklore, myth and magic.
