UPLIFT FESTIVAL 2012

The end-date of the Maya calendar’s 5,125-year cycle on the December solstice of 2012 has become a major focal point for ideas about planetary change. While some may view this as a catastrophic end, fueled by economic, social and environmental crisis, a unique opportunity exists to harness this global attention into an event that celebrates the essential unity of humanity, and of all life. UPLIFT 2012 is an event created to celebrate this rare moment and herald the birth of a new paradigm of consciousness.

Planned for 4 days and nights in beautiful Byron Bay, NSW, UPLIFT 2012 will bring together some of the world’s most inspirational artists and innovative thinkers to explore, inquire, share and discover together our role in the creation of this new paradigm. More than a symposium, UPLIFT 2012 is a participatory event that supports our deep understanding that each of us is the change, – it is within us, it connects us, and it begins now. The event will include perspectives from many disciplines including science, wellness, art, ecology, new economics, indigenous culture and the wisdom of youth.

UPLIFT 2012 will be broadcast to an international audience via live streaming and will also serve as one of the anchor hubs for the global event Birth2012, founded by leading evolutionary Barbara Marx Hubbard, and will unite a massive global audience on December 22nd (www.birth2012.com).

Given that Byron Bay, Australia is one of the most eastern points in Western civilization, it will be the first continent to welcome the light of this new chapter of global cooperation and co-creativity.

We invite you to join us for this inspiring and unprecedented event from December 20th to 23rd 2012. Four days of inspiration, celebration and positive action.
