Trinity Bellwoods Bed-In
This is a Peace Demonstration to build off the message John Lennon and Yoko Ono began to spread in the 60's.
During their Bed In they often spoke about how choosing Peace doesn't have to be an insurmountable goal, but obtainable through the small choices we make in our everyday lives
Instead of sitting around in our angst chanting about the change we want to see, let's start living it even if just for a day!
The Law of Attraction teaches us that anything you feel, think and put your energy towards can manifest. Maybe why change isn't coming is because we are dwelling on the injustice, instead of imagining the justice. Instead of dwelling on war, let's Imagine Peace!
A day of Music and Art, encompassing as many pieces of "Community" as possible, these include:
Childcare we will have lots of activities, games, arts and crafts!
Physical Health we will have Yoga classes organized by John Arjan!, hula hoops, jumping ropes and other outdoor game opportunities!
Mental Health we will have Healing sessions Organized by Sunshine Dave 3, art classes and live musical performances!
Connection we will have a huge makeshift Bed for anyone and everyone to relax together!
Environmental Responsibility we will be gardening, and proceeding with the leave no trace philosophy!
Sustenance we will have food for all!
Discovery we hope for every kind of person to attend! The magic of life is meeting and connecting with others especially those who make you think about life in a completely different way!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We will have "The Performance Pad" where we have a line up of wonderful musicians to add to and morph the mood and energy of the day as we go, as well as the opportunity for any other kind of performance people want to organize or spontaneously do day of! Pad Priority to our line up.
Contact me if you'd like to perform!
