MY WORDS ON HARVEST 2024 (25th Anniversary):

As the founder of the Harvest Festival 25 years ago, I find it difficult to sum all the thoughts and lessons into words; however, the feeling is LOVE.

This year was exceptionally filled with love. I feel it is from you to me, and I certainly feel it from me for all of you.

I am so grateful to the many people who contributed this year as workers, attendees, and others over the many years. I recognize that we’ve created this year’s masterpiece of a Harvest festival together with LOVE, even though some of you have moved on.

We celebrated “under the stars, by the fire, and on the dance floor” together, and I was surprised at how it felt, somehow, different.

It’s overwhelming!

There are too many thoughts and lessons about people, things, and myself. So many words and feelings are rolling in my head, but they all sum up to the feeling of LOVE—love in all directions for all things and all the people past and present.

This year, I boil HARVEST FESTIVAL down to 2 words that I hold closely;

“TRANSFORMATIONAL & LOVE”

Wow, Happy Harvest / Harvest Loves You & Thanks You, just Wow
