ASHEVILLE, NC, July 17, 2009 /24-7PressRelease/ -- The second annual Gathering of the Peacemakers will be held near Asheville, NC from Aug. 30 to Sept.5. Billed as a week of "wisdom and conscious music," it will feature nightly concerts with local recording artists and daily workshops in such subjects as solar and wind energy, greening existing homes, organic gardening, community gardens, holistic health, affordable and green building, building your own home, finding your mission in life, creating visionary events, handling your money wisely, creating and sustaining loving unions, and much more.

The Gathering, held at 50-acre Camp Rockmont in the Blue Ridge Mountains, is hosted by authors Julia and Robert Roskind. In the last seven years, along with their 22-year old daughter, Alicia, their family has organized and hosted 83 One Love Concerts & Events in Jamaica and on Native American reservations, colleges, prisons, and public venues in the U.S. All these events encourage the audience to claim themselves as "teachers of love" by exercising love and forgiveness in their lives.

âEURœThis is not just another outdoor festival,âEUR� says Atlanta-based recording artist Laura Reed. âEURœAll the music will be 'musical medicine,' carrying messages of love and forgiveness."

"The Gathering is part retreat, part festival and part summer camp for both children and adults,âEUR� says event organizer and 10-time author Robert Roskind. âEURœOur goal is to prepare ourselves for the coming decades of change so that we might share this peace and sense of purpose with others.âEUR�

âEURœFor me, it was definitely a life-changing experience,âEURœ says Florida residence Dora Sharpe, who attended the gathering in 2008. âEURœI returned home with so much renewed optimism and so many ideas.âEUR�

The program fee is from $275 and children 14 and under are free and there is a 25% discount ($206) for groups of 4 or more. Advance registration is recommended as space is limited.
