Are You Making a Splash?

Our Moondance Mermaid has taken a very well-deserved break and a hiatus from the festival, after 18+ years! She’ll be relaxing on some sunny shores, swimming with wild dolphins, and helping to save our precious coral reefs and marine environments. See you again, next time! Splash!

ADVICE FROM A TREE

By Ilan Shamir

Stand tall and proud


Sink your roots deeply into the Earth 


Reflect the light of a greater source


Think long-term , Go out on a limb


Remember your place among all living beings 


Embrace with joy the changing seasons


For each yields its own abundance:


The Energy and Birth of Spring


The Growth and Contentment of Summer 


The Wisdom to let go of leaves in the Fall


The Rest and Quiet Renewal of Winter

Feel the wind and the sun 
, And delight in their presence 


Look up at the moon that shines down upon you 


And the mystery of the stars at night.


Seek nourishment from the good things in life 


Simple pleasures: Earth, fresh air, light

Be content with your natural beauty


Drink plenty of water 


Let your limbs sway and dance in the breezes


Be flexible 


Remember your roots
