SAVE THE DATE! Equinox Ascension, a global activation for peace, will be held on March 21, 2026 7PM EST. Learn More
For 29 years, Earthdance International has brought people together across cultures and continents in a shared intention for peace. Through music, dance, and community gatherings, Earthdance creates spaces where human connection can flourish.
At the center of this movement is our Global Synchronized Prayer for Peace. When thousands of people gather simultaneously around the world, the experience becomes symbolic. It’s a reminder that beneath our differences, we share the same pulse; the same desire for belonging, healing, and a more compassionate world.
The Heart & Beat of Humanity reflects this shared rhythm. It honors the simple truth that peace begins within individuals, grows through connection, and is amplified when we move together. In listening to one another, and to the planet, we remember that humanity is strongest when we act in unison.
The 28th Annual Earthdance Global Festival for Peace held on Saturday, September 20 2025 was celebrated in 18 global locations.

ABOUT EARTHDANCE
Earthdance International is a California 501c3 non-profit tax-exempt organization that is financially supported by the people who produce and participate in the Earthdance global event.
The Earthdance Global Festival for Peace is the world’s largest music and dance event for peace.
Earthdance sets the standard for conscious transformational gatherings, bridging the worlds of peace-making and music culture, and pioneering the concepts of multi-location events and synchronized mediation-prayer practice.
Earthdance is aligned with International Peace Day, a global holiday sanctioned by the United Nations and observed annually on September 21. Every year on the same weekend, Earthdance features hundreds of musicians, DJs, speakers, and dancers at local celebrations and fetes around the world. Since the first Earthdance festival in 1997, more than one thousand events have been held in over eighty countries.
The pinnacle of each Earthdance festival is the global synchronized “Prayer for Peace,” a profound rite that unites our international, cross-generational tribe in a powerful affirmation of peace. Our Global Link-Up of the Prayer for Peace music track, experienced simultaneously worldwide, is a deeply moving shared intention for peace.
