On Sunday, 2nd November 2008 with deep Pacific Ocean blue behind come together for a magical day with over 2000 people in the fabulous gardens of “Kodomo-no-Kuni”, The Land of Children!
In the sunshine titillate taste buds with cuisines from near and far prepared with love!
In the shade of trees with rich earth underfoot catch spicey vibes spilling from the World Music Forest Stage with your dancing body!
Indigo! Plum! Vermillion! colours leap from canvas, minds drawn into clay, worked by artists from many lands.
ahhhhhhhhh…… release in every nerve and muscle, allow the peace of your heart to refill your life in a lush grove of trees & cacti; the Pure Relaxation Field.
And when the sun approaches the western mountains head along the beach to the Blue Island Aoshima
In a 1.5 kilometer ring encircling this sacred isle can you sense we are together in this One World?
This festival is a non-profit charity event, which will be funded entirely by sponsorship and renting out booth space. We are looking for companies, organizations and individuals who share our vision and wish to join us in making an outstanding festival.
1) Event Title : Aoshima One World Festival 2008
2) Event Goal & Content : For the 2000-plus guests, this festival will be an action-packed international day of fun, including live music, world food booths, art, speeches, a relaxation field, a kids’ corner and a fleamarket. With the spirit of togetherness stoked by shared enjoyment, we will walk along the beach to Aoshima Shrine for the sunset finale – making a giant 1.5km human chain around Aoshima Shrine and letting out a prayer for world peace!
We hope that by joining hands with our neighbors in this way, we will foster an atmosphere of greater mutual respect between individuals, communities and countries.
