By all accounts this first annual Awakening Festival surpassed its goals to improve lives and strengthen communities. When I saw the smiles on the participants’ faces and felt the vibe of the music in the marketplace and watched the kids running about squealing and laughing, I knew we had achieved what we had set out to do…to create an unforgettable experience full of love, wisdom, creative expression and joy to unite and inspire a community toward positive transformation and purpose.
