Every event across the globe recites a Prayer for Peace at the same moment -- morning in the Australia rainforest, afternoon in California, dusk in Florida, midnight in London, and sunrise over the Himalayas.


Description: The Prayer for Peace takes place on Saturday the 22nd at 7pm Eastern time.



The festival features wellness workshops, live artists, DJs, jam bands, dancers, and theme camps, so there will never be a dull moment! Expect a full schedule of events from noon until 6.a.m. for a whole weekend of dancing, learning, and creating. The Main Stage will be enhanced and heavily decorated thanks to Coda Sound, Full Range Audio, and Dancing Zombies. There will be two additional stages and one sound camp, including Camp Airstream and the RhinoCube, not to mention mind-blowing visuals by Third Eye Projections and Warp Corp.

This festival features an all-female line-up of headlining DJs - Starring DJ Rap, DJ Shortee, Heavygrinder, Suzy Solar, DJ Bella, and Oona Slim. In order to empower women on the stage as well as overseas, Earthdance Lakeland pledges to donate 50% of their profit to Ghanaian Mothers
Hope to help young women in Africa to become leaders in their communities. Specifically, proceeds from this year will go toward equipping a health clinic to give 24 hour care to new mothers and children in Ghana, Africa. In addition, $1 of each ticket sale goes back to Earthdance International to promote a Culture of Peace across the
world.





The festival organizers, Belinda 'Juicy Junglist' and Matt ‘Beat Blastah’, are official Earthdance ambassadors. By taking an environmental stance, the festival organizers hope to be a part of the solution. Their goal is to divert at least 60% of all the trash from the festival from landfills through composting, upcycling, and recycling. "This is a leave-no-trace event," say Belinda, "We are now exploring ways to minimize our impact on the land and maximize our impact on people's consciousness"
