The Culture of the Spirit Festival is a world music event that is seeking to bring forth the confluence of the varied music, art and dance traditions of the world and encourage art that not only entertains but enlightens. The word culture comes from the verb to cultivate by cultivating the garden of our inner self we can harvest its fruit of beauty and joy. Thus art becomes a vehicle, a means, of expressing the innate qualities of the spirit.
