FESTIVALS

"In ancient times, the festival life of a community was closely linked with its agricultural cycles. While human life today is generally more removed from
these natural cycles than in earlier times, our lives are still profoundly influenced by nature's forces and by the seasons of the year. Seasonal festivals,
because they allow us to reconnect with one another and with the cosmos that surrounds us, are perhaps more essential to humanity's well-being than ever before."
