By now almost everyone has heard that December 21, 2012, is believed by many to be the end date of the sophisticated Long Count Calendar created by the ancient Maya civilization in Central America. Countless books, websites, magazine articles, newspaper headlines and even a major motion picture have predicted a catastrophic climax of events on that fateful date. Yet others, including most modern Maya, believe the date marks not an apocalypse, but a coming cosmic renewal and a rebirth of human consciousness.
The staff and organizers of the "2012 Cosmic Convergence Celebration" fall into the latter group and believe that 2012 will not be the end of the human race, but will instead usher in a new era of human history: an era of transformation and renewal. In that spirit we have begun planning and organizing a spectacular musical celebration of Mayan culture and human diversity that will be broadcast live worldwide on television and the internet.
