Düsseldorf, Germany | June 22, 2024
The Park as Lover, in the Lantz’sch Park (the People’s Park) in Düsseldorf, Germany where we will explore and honor the park by walking in and around it. Eventually we will come to a sacred grove, where we will hold a participatory commitment ritual for the park, the forest, and for peace on Earth. Many friends from the Buga Festival will join us there, as well as Joy Brook Fairfield (our director) and amazing author, Dr. Mithu M. Sanyal. Beekeeper and Theater Director Luke Dixon will be there too. This performance ritual take place the afternoon of June 22, 2024, the first day of summer. More details to follow.
