UPPER LAKE — The inaugural Rainbow Bridge Festival takes place Friday through Sunday, June 26, 27 and 28, in Upper Lake. This event brings people together through a common experience, involving a connection with nature and valuable interaction with community expressed through music, yoga and healthy lifestyle exploration.
As a solution to the state of the world we now live in, we as a people need to create a new way of living and interacting with each other and with our environment. We intend to inspire, motivate and empower positive change in the world by offering people hands-on viable solutions to learn and experience throughout the festival. Along with music and yoga, people will have the opportunity to express themselves creatively in a unique and natural setting.
There will be green building workshops and demos, organic gardening workshops and demos, alternative energy demos, yoga classes and workshops, drumming circles, activities for children to learn, have fun and express themselves creatively, as well as opportunities for musicians to jam together spontaneously. We will be celebrating with world class musicians such as Pato Banton, Annie Sampson Band, Elijah Emanuel, Mitchell Holman, Karma, Levi Huffman, Rootstock, Side of Blues and more.
Speakers include Jeane Manning, author of several books, including “The Coming Energy Revolution” and “Breakthrough Power.” She will be sharing information and compelling stories about brave inventors and breakthrough technologies from around the world that are green and sustainable. Jeane makes the case for open-sourcing clean-energy inventions such as magnetic motors, zero point energy, water-as-fuel and other new-paradigm advances.
Harvey Wasserman, author of “Solartopia, Our Green Powered Earth,” will share his wisdom and vision of making the bridge to a solarized world. Wasserman”s widespread appearances throughout the major media and at campuses and citizens gatherings since the 1960s have focused on energy, the environment, the truth about nuclear power, United States history and election protection. Harvey is a much-loved and exciting presenter.
This Festival is also an intentional tribute to Marla Ruzicka (1976-2005), who gave her life courageously and selflessly in the pursuit of bringing love, compassion and financial aide to the war torn victims of the conflicts in Afghanistan and Iraq.
