Board of Directors
 | "During one of their performances, the Rwandan children invited all of us to join them. Dieudonne reached for my hand. I fell in love. All the things that might separate us - language, culture, age, gender - melted away. And what was left was pure joy. Joy that he could teach, and I could learn, and together in the dance we were happy. That's what LEAF is all about." - Elizabeth, Board President 2007-2008 |

Quotes
"The best multicultural mix and match festival. Mountain music meets
world music, blues, zydeco, and more."
- Washington Post
“an exquisite torture of having to choose..between four different types of
music and dance in any given hour. If one tired of music and dancing there
were workshops on yoga, fiddling, waltzing, drumming, Latin dance,
building green homes, massage, sonic healing, herbal medicine, poetry
‘slams’ and a hundred other life affirming activities. Each night a
massive drum circle echoed from the hills. The whole festival was wrapped
around a beautiful series of cascading swimming, boating and fishing
ponds-yes indeed, Lake Eden.”
- Blair Pollock
"Another wonderful LEAF .... each one is different, but this seemed to be the most dynamic one yet. Spring LEAF is a renewal, shaking off the winter, getting ready for the rest of the year ..... but fall LEAF is like a harvesting of all the souls, like a gathering of the big "family" -- old friends & new ones ... Don't know how you do it for everyone, making everyone feel so special & needed."
