"After all these years, I am synonymous with Brookside & Contradance. LEAF is my home away from home. Enter the grounds and venture into the worlds of music, dancing, fun, foods and beautiful people." -Mike Compton

"LEAF is a GIFT of AMAZING PEOPLE & Culture! LEAF reminds me to dance, play, be curious, be kind, keep learning & unlearning! I am GRATEFUL!" -Jennifer Pickering, Exec. Director

"LEAF is CONNECTION. In 1995, we imagined an experience for people of all ages to gather together at beautiful Lake Eden to explore multi-cultural music, dance, food, art, poetry, healing arts, and learning opportunities that would enhance our relationships to ourselves, our community, and our world. I feel honored to be a part of creating such an event that has brought so much joy, learning, understanding, inclusion, and togetherness to people from all over the world. LEAF allow us to reassess our priorities as we bring our transformational experiences with us to create a better world.

WITH 50+ FESTIVALS OF LEAF LOVE." Kelly Hanson, BE

"We moved to AVL in ‘95, just in time to attend this new festival called LEAF. Since then, babies were born and raised, new friends made and old friends lost. Through the years, LEAF has been a touchstone in our lives. LEAF is a thriving community of beautiful souls who share a love of cultural learning and experience. Long Live LEAF!"

James Fisher, BE

"I ponder my 27 years here, and think about enrichment, healing, artistic growth. I remember the people, music, children, love and friendship. I marvel at how the most peaceful, coolest little town exists for a weekend and people left fulfilled. Lake Eden is a magical place. The Roots are strong

.
"LEAF is the place you go when home calls." -Nave, Poet
"LEAF is my family reunion!" Bárbara Rogers, Gate Queen

Dianne Prohn, "LEAF has enriched my life. I have formed lasting friendships with people from around the world. I feel like I am a better person because of ALL my LEAF experiences and I will be forever grateful."

Jarod Brown, "LEAF is, and has been the touchstone for my family and community since its conception. We all authorize ourselves to disconnect from our daily lives and tune into the healing vibes that LEAF stewards. I know the hearts of my community's children because of LEAF. Thank you for your years of careful soulful stewardship."

Denise Mills, "LEAF through the years was the place where my children experienced an unprecedented level of safe freedom, to be completely their unique selves and independent, and developed a level of global awareness and appreciation that has informed their life paths ever since childhood. I know without a doubt that we are all better global citizens thanks to LEAF!"

Sherry Griffith, "LEAF is a place to connect with friends, To learn about other cultures, to meet people from other countries, and to be part of a larger community while listening to great music and enjoying yummy food."
