The '''Association for Consciousness Exploration''' (ACE) is an [[United States|American]] group, best known for hosting the [[Starwood Festival]] every summer and the [[WinterStar Symposium]] every winter. The organization was founded in 1983 by members of the [[Chameleon Club]], an "extended-family" group created by their Flounder, C. C. Rosencomet, on the campus of Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, OH. The directors are [[Jeff Rosenbaum]] and [[Joseph Rothenberg]], and many of the founding members still make up much of the core organizing group. The motto of the [[Chameleon Club]] is '''CHANGE''', and that of ACE is '''"Dedicated to the Expansion of the Frontiers of Your Consideration"'''. |

ACE has served as a networking organization since its inception, promoting the ideas its members find exciting and interesting, but always aimed at providing a common ground between different communities and fringe groups where they can interact - share discoveries, plan cooperative activities, compare notes, but most of all enjoy each other's company and celebrate their differences. The members feel that if people who believe different things can still party together, if they can consider their differences a plus rather than a problem, then pick up a drum or musical instrument and jam together,the world would be on its way to a much better place. |

The [[Starwood Festival]], held at [[Brushwood Folklore Center]] in [[Sherman]], NY (in the far west corner of the state) is ACE's hallmark project: a six-day camping event featuring over 150 classes on an eclectic variety of subjects ranging from world spirituality & culture (with a heavy representation from the [[Neo-Pagan]] community), to holistic healing and movement systems (such as [[Yoga]], [[massage]], [[Reiki]], Chi Gung), to innovative art and music, to fringe science, mind studies, and the environment. The event also features at least 15 musical, theatrical, and multi-media presentations as eclectic as its curriculum, various parties and public ceremonies, and a fireworks-stuffed bonfire the size of a house. Many nationally and internationally celebrated speakers and entertainers have appeared at Starwood. |

The [[WinterStar Symposium]] is their cushier event, held at Atwood Resort in Delroy, OH, about 1-1/2 hours south of Cleveland. This 4-day event features a schedule of activities with the same flavor as Starwood but scaled to an indoor venue, with classes during the day and musical performances and ceremonies in the evening, followed by parties held in the 4-bedroom cottages maintained by Atwood. The guest roster reflects the Starwood line-up, as does the cirriculum, but at WinterStar it is customary to pick a particular theme around which most of the event is focused. Pool, hot tub, sauna, restaurant and bar help make the event most appealing. |

All ACE events are specifically targeted to the studies of magic, mind-sciences, alternative lifestyles, comparative religion/spirituality, entertainment, holistic healing, and Earth spirituality, as well as African and Middle Eastern drumming & dance, and other world music and culture.
