Cosmic Convergence Festival’s Positive Trace on Lake Atitlan
by David Casey
Three years ago a group of friends and I started the Cosmic Convergence Festival in Lake Atitlan, Guatemala with the intention of bringing people together from modern & traditional cultures to learn from each other, and celebrate our diverse ways of life in a manner that supports and revitalizes the local indigenous communities of this special place.
This event has grown immensely since its founding in 2012, leaving a lasting social impact in the form of direct financial, human and material resources to local projects. Some of our largest successes include the delivery of support to a community nutrition center, a school, and a womens’ cooperative. This success and social impact is a direct result of the efforts and contributions of numerous peoples both locally and around the globe. This year in 2015, we aim to expand the festival gathering to reach 800 people as well as support these new community projects, and continue to show that a conscious meeting of modern and traditional cultures can create healthier and more regenerative communities. This year we are achieving things I’ve never dreamed of, including partnering with a hundreds-of-years old traditional Mayan kite festival to support our decoration efforts: https://www.facebook.com/
I am looking for inspiration, ideas, collaboration and support in spreading this campaign where it needs to go to realize the dream and spread the seeds of the collective vision. We have seven days left in our campaign.

Many blessings and love to all of you, and I look forward to our next reunion!
