The Earthdance vision is to unite the whole world through the universal platform of dance & music. Each year like-minded people across the planet at over 300 Earthdance events in over 60 countries come together in celebration of non-stop music, dance and peace. At 1am on Sunday morning (SA Time) all Earthdance events link via the “Prayer for Peace” meditation, a song that is played at all events at exactly the same time, connecting all participants at every Earthdance in solidarity for Peace.

This year's Earthdance international theme is "Honouring the Earth", with a focus on saving the forests and the preservation of pristine wilderness zones. We are all aware of the issues facing the future of our planet, of man's destruction of our natural habitat and the effects of climate change. Earthdance wishes to draw attention to our home and the fact that we are all as much a part of the problem as we are the solution. Changing your lifestyle to lessen your impact is easier then you may think, all it takes is a little bit of effort. (An immediate thing to do is car-pool to the event. Rather than drive alone, share the costs with friends and keep fuel emissions down.)

We will also continue the success of last year's "Global Om" by uniting our voices once again with a synchronised global "Ma", (pronounced MAAAH) which will follow the global prayer for peace link up.

The sound of "Ma" is common in most of the world's languages as the meaning for "mother" and is the perfect syllable to unite our voices in support of this year's theme, the healing our mother earth.
