The meaning of earthfest for us is to be connected to the earth. We can get closer to this if we celebrate and nourish our connection to the living earth, if we give thanks, and if we bring the aliveness of everything closer to all people. To do this, we will celebrate this new festival with a Medicine Wheel ceremony, with a celebration of the annual cycle, a sweat lodge ceremony and an earth-mound ceremony. It is a joy to be part of the EARTHFEST-Initiative.
