Earthdance 25: Peace – It’s Time!!
Press Release Here

Our 25th Year of Dancing For Peace

Since its inception in 1997, Earthdance* has coordinated synchronized events for peace in multiple locations worldwide. In alignment with the United Nations’ International Day of Peace on Sept. 21, this year our theme is “Peace – It’s Time.” 

Last year with the intention of keeping our global community safe, Earthdance festivals worldwide went virtual on Earthdance.TV. We will build on what we learned, and engage our worldwide community even further to develop interactive, engaging offerings this September. As of today, we are not yet able to register in-person events, given remaining uncertainties across many nations. Later in spring or summer, we may allow producers to plan permitted Earthdance public physical events or safely held private events.

Our highlight each year is the synchronized “Prayer for Peace,” which unites participants in all locations—and thousands more on-line—in a shared moment of intention. It has been held in more than 1000 locations and 80 countries. With its global reach and diverse range of attendees, Earthdance is the first and largest coordinated multi-location music and peace event in the world. 

Earthdance events have supported hundreds of charities worldwide. 

Earthdance is a world of communities, working and playing together to create a culture of peace, through music and dance events, synchronized global link-ups, social activism, yoga and healing practices. It is a platform for the dissemination of wisdom from the elders of many cultures. Earthdance sets the standard for conscious, transformational gatherings. 

More than just an epic party, Earthdance is a flash forward to a peaceful future.

Previously, public events included large music festivals with tens of thousands attending as well as various, smaller local celebrations. Private gatherings or house parties were a very special part of Earthdance. 

To be a Earthdance producer, one needs to commit to acting with integrity (which also means suspending physical gatherings until conditions allow), participate in the online global synchronized peace meditation and to donate to a local charity.

How did Earthdance Originate?
