Orgone accumulator at Ricklundgården

16 August, 2023

Jan Jaap Kuiper

On Tuesday, August 22 at 6:30 p.m you are cordially invited to charge yourself with this life-energy in the Orgone Accumulator that Jan Jaap Kuiper has built in the Folke studio at Ricklundgården.

Orgone is a mystical universal life force dreamed up by pseudo-scientist Wilhelm Reich in the 1930’s. It’s a cosmic energy that forms a blueish sphere around the earth, charging all of nature. To charge oneself with this energy Reich developed the Orgone Accumulator – a wooden structure resembling an outhouse, lined with layers of organic material and metal, that captures the orgone radiation and feeds it to the human within.

Jan Jaap Kuiper is a Dutch filmmaker working on a film based on the “cut up trilogy” by William Burroughs. Orgone Accumulator is the second part in his series of installations to explore the spirit of Burroughs by reenacting practices he frequently mentions in his texts.

It has been practiced and refined.

On May 22, we will have a choir concert with live music at Saxnäs Church!

The picture shows part of the group participating. Even more dedicated people than those in the photo will take part in the concert itself.

This is one of the many activities we have worked on—and continue to work on—within the Inheritance Fund project KRAM.

Save the date: Friday, May 22 at 6:00 PM, because there will be music!
