Location: Domaine de Moiron (in Foulain)
Date: Wednesday, 21 September 2011

More info about the festival>> http://www.lothlorienfestival.com

There is one dream mankind shares: live in love, peace, harmony, rest and joy.
All people on earth, more then 6 billion, are looking for rest and peace. Now is the time to bring the big dream, the one we all share, in to reality and we can!

In this time where differences seem of greater importance than similarities. Apperantly mankind has forgotten that we are all one and interconnected and in the end we all want the same. We demonstrate that we can share and that we show respect and understanding for eachother.
Together we are responsible for Mother Earth and for the Society on this, our, Earth.

Now is the time to listen to eachother, to connect and cross over all gaps and seperations, because all damage we do to Mother Earth, we do to ourselves. If we give peace and love to others, we may receive peace and love in return.
If you sow little, you will harvest little. If you sow poor seed in the field, you will have poor harvest. Should you sow wealthy, you will harvest wealthy. Let us all put our best seeds in the ground. Make sure we find peace in our selves and share it with others. You will not find peace with the other, if it is not within you. Find it before you can spread it out.

In cooperation with the communities of Foulain, Crenay and Luzy sur Marne, the Conseil General of the Haute Marne and many others, Centre Lothlorien organizes an International and Multicultural Peacefestival in September 2011
In this festival we want to bring people of different cultures and skincolours together to show the world that we are capable of living together in harmony, respect and joy.

We will accomplish this in an atmosphere with lots of music, theatre, art, workshops, dance, lectures, demonstrations, presentations, open stages, forums, activities, exchanges, gatherings and more. As people we share so much and together we can and may enjoy all the beauty there is.

The organisation of the Festival is still being completed and will grow within the next few months. Already we have received many enthousiastic reactions and many performers have signed up for a part in the program. There is however still a lot of place left for artists, musicians, workshops, etcetera, to participate in the festivities.
Do you have ideas or do you wish to contribute in any way, let us hear your voice. We are always happy with your suggestions and input.

The possibilities of the festival depend on the means that we will have at our disposal. Would you like to become a sponsor, contribute or do you have contacts that might create a bigger support, please contact us.
It will grow to our festival. Yours, mine and from anyone who no longer wishes to see a dream of peace as an illusion. We will realize it together! Together we can make it happen.
