The Day Out Of Time Festival

WHAT IS IT: The Mayan Galactic calendar follows a 13 moon cycle with each month being an even 28 days, the female fertility cycle.

Followed for over 5500 years, the 13 Moon calendar is a universal reflection of perfect harmony appearing in virtually all human cultures. The Lakota kept a 13 Moon - 28 Day count based on the "keya", or turtle,

since the turtle has 13 scales on its back. The Druids, Essenes, Egyptians, Polynesians, Chinese, Maya, Inca and several Native American tribes all used a 13 month - 28 Day calendar and many are still using it today!

13 months @ 28 days = 364 days!

The 365th day (always July 25) is called the "Day Out Of Time" because it is no day of the week or the month at all. In the spirit of festival, this internationally celebrated holiday promotes themes of forgiveness, atonement, artistic celebration of life, community, "Peace Through Culture", and "Time is Art!" The Day Out Of Time is now an official holiday in over 70 Brazilian cities alone, including Sao Paulo, the 2nd largest city in the world!

It is our intention to create an annual festival that all members of our communities, be it business or residential, can benefit from. Honouring the philosophy that TIME = ART we are looking forward to encouraging young

and old alike to exercise their creativity as a healthy and rewarding way of life.
