Ever noticed how possible it is to fall in Love? …with yourself, an idea, a moment, even another person…from the streets of New York City?
As summer fades, and that Autumn in New York feeling begins–embrace your radical optimism– and join us for a simple, lovely block party style event, inspired by the higher concept that: collective Love inspired energy can make big waves, and ripples for good….in your own life, and at a larger conscious scale.
-
Stroll into The East Village, turn a corner tuned to the sound of Jazz, follow the tunes…until you arrive at St. Mark’s Church in The Bowery. An iconic, historic destination for Creativity, The Arts, Spirituality & Love. The Public Festival takes place in the open garden.
Stop by to fill your heart with a song. Swing through to receive a love poem or write a love note to a stranger who might find it when they need it most. Flowers in concrete scavenger hunt. Find sanctuary through design by contributing to our Love Alter activation – and more.*No food, beverage, or public restrooms are guaranteed at this public event.

We are collecting simple, positive, empowering notes from people, that will be tucked around the city, left as special positive messages “Love Notes” to be found just when someone might need it the most.
The goal is to spread love, joy, and positive mental health encouragement, even when you’re out and about on your own. -
Jazz, the soundtrack of Manhattan, the background noise to a New Yorker’s life, and a listening practice - as significant as meditation – for taking a moment to listen, tune in and live in the present… if only for one song.

Flower Power meets Talkin Head’s inspired search and find game. (Similar to a bingo or scavenger hunt.) Can you find all of the flower-full moments among the concrete?
-
Play a live version of the card game “We’re Not Really Strangers” at the Festival. We’ve set this up previously in Miami’s Superblue experience – and people really love it, so we thought we’d share the opportunity again. It’s a truly special experience.
