Join the Earthdance Community Network

As the world of media rich Social Networks grows, niche networks seem to be popping up. Some music festivals have been creating their own social networks such as High Sierra Music Festival, Bonnaroo, and one of my all time favorite festivals, Earthdance. These differ from the old fashioned form of online forums such as Burning Man’s E-Playa because they allow users to create their own identities, profiles, photos, videos and become “friends” with other users of the network. They are mini Facebooks or MySpace sites for interest-specific groups.

The Earthdance Festival movement is truly the Social Network Festival of all festivals. Their system of creating globally connected synchronized festivals, concerts and parties all over the planet has taken the concept of social networking out of cyberspace and in to real life. It’s brilliant. The live networking between people at the festival takes a pause at 4pm (PST) and everyone prays for world peace at the exact same time across the globe. The same soundtrack (The Prayer For Peace) is played at every event and for one moment, the live planetary network of intention-based community becomes brilliantly clear to everyone involved. The interconnectedness between events is felt by everyone and the resulting feeling of one-ness is profound.

So, why not keep it going all year? If you’re curious about the Earthdance Festival, or have already been and want to stay connected with this amazing global movement, please check out the Earthdance Community Network and take a moment to set up your own profile.
