Annual Three Days of Light Gathering, Aug. 26-28

PRESS RELEASE FROM EVENT ORGANIZERS:

At this point it is fair to say that 3DL is one of the most powerful and inspiring gatherings/festivals on the East Coast. This is because we decided to create an event that is 100% dedicated to creating something VERY special for our attendees: A space and time that enriches lives and brings people closer together. Together. To-Gathering. (www.3DLgathering.com)

It all started with a couple questions… and a choice.

“What happens when thousands of high vibrational and inspired beings from all over the planet come together to celebrate the beauty and power of CREATION? How amazing would that feel? Well… let’s find out!” And we did! WOW! That was over 4 years ago and now we know people want something better. Something more.

3DL is equal parts Adult/Family Summer Camp, Jamboree, Revival (Healing), Retreat … and full on music festival. It all adds up to a brand new model for what a festival can be. Safe. Fun. Inspiration. Activation! A WHOLESOME FESTIVE-ALL that is fun for the whole family.

The 2016 Three Days of Light Gathering takes place August 26th to 28th in our new home at the awe inspiring High Country Motorcycle Campground in Ferguson, North Carolina, just two hours from Asheville. This new location is absolutely perfect for us. It’s small enough to feel intimate and connected yet spread out enough so that all of our attendees can camp comfortably, feeling the privacy that is desired when camping out in the fresh mountain air and under the starry night sky!

What you will experience at 3DL this year:

•   Over 36 workshops led by world-renowned teachers, speakers and activists, all of whom share our collective mission to inspire “Activation!” We put an emphasis on education and participatory learning with over 3 dozen diverse and inspiring workshops & playshops.
