The festival, organized by The Dejas, will be a day of Arts and Holistic Health, and the A.H.H. acronym is reflective as well of a play on the exhalation of breath, ahh… the universal sound of contentment and peace, as well as a component of meditation breath exercises and yogic breathing.
The day’s events, to be held on the Salem Common, will feature music, visual and performance art as well as presentations by practitioners of the healing arts. The festival will all be 100% free, with volunteer vendors providing a diverse range of services for those who attend. The holistic and health side will include massage, Reiki, acupuncture, Henna Tattooing, a project adventure ropes course and Yoga instruction for the entire family. The arts side will feature paper making, magic for kids, sculpture, the Junk Funk Jam (a percussion circle using recycled materials for instruments) and belly dancing.
Throughout the festival, the Dejas will be providing ambient music, from the gazebo in the center of the commons, creating a harmonious musical atmosphere and constantly changing backdrop to the many activities, for the participants.
