Reflections postponed…

Greetings beautiful family,

I am writing to inform the community that Reflections (planned for Memorial Day Weekend), has been postponed. We do apologize for any inconvenience this may cause anyone. TDK came to the decision to postpone the event until a later date because of various reasons. Professionally, we would like to take the proper time it takes to organize an event such as this. We see that Reflections has the potential to grow every year and feel that we would like to lay the groundwork for this to happen successfully. With the idea that it would draw over 1,000 participants this year, we would like to create a ‘legitimate’ event… find land we can use repeatedly, obtain the proper permits for the event, consult with lawyers about protecting the event, the land it is on, the participants, and TDK…basically take the time to plan the future of Reflections.

Personally, there are many reasons I have made this decision. With ONE just behind me, moving to a new area and other projects on the table, I felt that I could not realistically put a tremendous amount of time and effort into Reflections if it were to be on Memorial Day Weekend. With the dates rapidly approaching, I admitted that there currently was not enough time to create the event I envisioned. I truly believe that it takes a tremendous amount of knowledge and effort to create a memorable event for community activation. The intentions that I have for this community project are becoming clearer to me with each passing day.

I really want to see Reflections grow as a legitimate festival, so I have taken an initiative to educate myself about festivals. I wanted to find out more about festivals, how they operate, and what makes them a success…so, I have now taken a job on the promotional team for the Harmony Festival (aka The Health and Harmony Festival) in Sonoma County. This opportunity has allowed me to be on the team of an event that has drawn over 14,000 people last year & has been operating for 27 years. I am grateful to have the chance to absorb information that will assist us in creating Reflections legitimately. Opening to the experience of learning from many other festivals as well, opportunities are arising to get involved with the west coast festival curcuit…Harmony Festival, High Sierra Music Festival, Reggae on the River, Oregon Country Fair, etc. With the new insights I will obtain, I feel that I will be able to enter the planning of Reflections better equipped, ultimately supporting the growth of Reflections and it’s potential.


Thank you for your understanding. I look forward to future community collaboration for the manifestation of Reflections,
