September 8th through the 11th will be the First Annual Clear Creek Festival for Peace and Freedom, a few miles southeast of Winslow Arizona. Four days of music, food, and art celebrating and bolstering peace and freedom for our planet.
Hello Dear Tobias
I had a venue ("Sangha") on the East Coast that featured Avant-Garde Music produced in partnership with Transparent Productions who brought musicians into a network of venues from their respective spots in the world, all continents. As you know this music is spontaneous and feeds and grows on the energy of the moment and life experience of the musicians..so one often felt the ocean waves combined with flourishes of flamenco or monotone drones of Tibetan prayers. Sometimes a flute would become the sound of a drum and a guitar, a saxophone.. and the two would tell sad stories of human anguish, then burst into cries and finish with lullabies......If you are looking for places in the Washington Area I can introduce your work to the Smithsonian Institution. The stage there handled much larger audiences, of course, than my small place. Your audience here would be approx 2,000....Another idea would be the Washington Capitol Mall area....where just recently a crowd of 1.2 million came out for the humorous "Restore Sanity" event....You can see that people need Art to melt away the illusory political disruptions to PEACE...As a current resident of this area, I am always ready to plan a great Peace Event here in DC.....
Dear Colleague
I have just returned from Geneva where the United Nations is preparing a conference to be held 20-24 April to look at current manifestations of racial discrimination and xenophobia. As a non-governmental organization in consultative status and active in human rights issues, the representatives of the Association of World Citizens participate in the preperations as well as in the conference.
In many parts of the world, there is an intensification of xenophobia - fear of the foreign- usually expressed as fear and rejection of the foreigner. We see propaganda against immigrants and the promotion of doctrines of cultural and religious superiority. Yet each situation is different. Thus, to prepare our contribution to the Conference, I would be glad to receive your experiences and analysis of the area where you live or know best concerning xenophobic currents and the rejection of cultrual diversity.
As things now stand, I think that I will stress three issues on which I have worked before, but I am open to other additions:
1) Migration. Migration for work is already an important world pattern and is likely to grow with the impact of the economic downturn. It is important to look at the ways that migrants are treated. The fear of migrants and their impact on society is an important factor in xenophobia.
2) Trafficking is an aspect and a particular form of the patterns of migration. There is a large underground economy linked to trafficking in persons. Trafficking is often treated as a police matter with little concern for the people so trafficked. Linked to the issue of trafficking is violence against women, especially women trafficked for the sex trade. While there are many forms of violence against women - often within the family - we can safely say that there is little trafficking of women for sexual purposes which is not associated with violence against women.
3) There is a need to strengthen the United Nations and regional institutions to deal with the consequences of migration and trafficking in persons.

Thank you brother Tobias.
With your permission, I will post Music 4 Peace / The Gandhi Tour on the LIVE H2O website as a co-sponsor/co-creator. We still do not have a venue confirmed for India, although several people have expressed their desire for this.
Are you able to co-produce LIVE H2O in India as possibly one of the nine main venues?
Aloha from the Big Island of Hawaii,
