The creation of this network has been conceptualized over the past 4 years. It all started after my first trip to a music festival. I was truly taken by the experience. Everything from the vibe, to the beautiful people I met was ethereal. And of course there’s the music! I loved the main acts on stage, but the thing that really got me was the hidden talent. The many musicians in the woods and campsites. The amazing vendors and their crafts. Being around all of this talent was so inspiring. It made me feel like I could do anything. It also made me feel accepted and complete. I’d finally found where I belong.

I took that state of mind home with me. I wanted to figure out a cure to the festival hangover I was suffering. I also wanted to figure out a way to highlight these incredible talents I came across, all while helping them in any way possible. They’d given me so much, without even knowing it.

I understood that being a full time artist/musician may fill the soul, but not always fill the pockets. So for musicians, having things like quality studio recordings/professional HD videos of their performances may be hard to come by. And with artists and vendors, it’s somewhat seasonal work. So how could we keep all of these people flourishing in the off season? By creating a community and platform in which they can present their talents, and network with like minded individuals. All while supporting the main thing that makes all of this creation possible-the spirit:) And while experiencing what we are living through right now, it became that much more evident how essential this truly is.

So with all of that said, I present to you the peacelovemusic movement!
