Feldman Projects is Central Florida's premiere experimental time-based performance art outfit. Dinners on stage with real life families, leaping off ladders for 24 hours, massive pillow fights, group tours in Google translated Swedish through IKEA - this is what we do. http://brianfeldman.com
Please join us every Monday for a Communitea-Style Potluck for us all to enjoy! Dandelion will close it's kitchen and open it's doors so that our patrons from the community can wow each other with their own veggie creations! Click here for details!
"There were the scorpions in Morocco, the land mines in the Western Sahara, the alligators in the Everglades.
Yes, the Ivanics brothers have had quite the trip since they left Serbia in July 2007 to walk around the world in the name of peace, friendship and brotherhood.
Their message is not anti-war exactly, nor is it particularly political or religious. It is about taking little steps, even on a very, very long journey.
"It is easy to point your finger and say, 'Look at that other man. He shouldn't be doing that,'|" Ferenc Ivanics, 32, said Tuesday, the first of two rest days in Orlando. "You must first look at yourself." Read Entire Article
Brothers István and Ferenc Ivanics will be expecting activists, journalists and anyone interested to join them for a multimedia presentation about their experiences of their peacetour around the Earth. The presentation will take place at Dandelion Communitea on Tuesday, June 2nd from 5 to 7pm. Check out the blog here http://worldwalk-peacetour.blogspot.com)
The Ivanics brothers left in July 2007 from Palic, Serbia, Europe to walk around the world in name of peace, friendship and brotherhood. They hit the road with scarce financial support and with no special background, yet they arrived in Dakar, Senegal, Africa in about a year and a half. Now they are walking in the United States from Miami to San Antonio. Dandelion will be their second official stop in the USA.
During their journey they had to face many and varied demands and challenges, they had lots of adventures along the way. To name a few:
- the high mountains of the Alps in Austria
- frosty nights in the wild in France
- two weeks on a raw orange diet in Spain
- scorpions in Morocco
- landmines in Western-Sahara
- two-weeks walk in the uninhabited areas of the Sahara Desert
I hope all this has piqued your interest; you can find more information about the project on their blog (http://worldwalk-peacetour.blogspot.com). Please, come along, have a chat with the boys, help us put them on the map, help them share their thoughts and feelings about the world in the USA as well.
I just finished casting my ballot. Consider voting us Best Teahouse & Best Vegetarian. This year's Best Whatever goes to the "Ourlando Movement". Remember to vote LOCAL & independent - if you need help thinking of places, check out the Ourlando Indy Directory.
Anna Christine Miller did a great job on this little piece featuring Dandelion for a recent class project. It's a casual conversation with co-owners Chris Blanc and Julie Norris. Thanks Anna for shining some light on our little teahouse!
It may not be the Age of Aquarius all over again, but there’s definitely something coming in the air – a rising desire to create harmony in our chaotic lives and on our planet. Those who lived through the first flowering of eco-consciousness have noticed a familiar trend in the recent sprouting of vegan restaurants, fair-trade clothing boutiques and teahouses hereabouts. The difference is that there’s a new and growing audience for their message – baby boomers, their children and even their grandchildren, who are tuning in to the idea that we all need to live a little more lightly on the planet and spend more time being happy. For those ready to start down that path, there are plenty of options – some new, some established – right here in Central Florida. Read More Here
