Festival Culture of the Spirit
30 and 31st of July: two intense days of joy, with music and dance everywhere. We are happy that nearly 100 new comers obtained their Self Realization, as this is one of the main purposes of this event. We will only mention a few of the very great musicians present here: Anandita Basu and her deep sufi devotional songs, Rachelle Jeanty on beautiful jazzy rhythms, the bansuri master Shaktidhar, the amazing ghatam (anfora) player Giridhar Udupa, Tanya Wells singing sweet ghazals, the well-known Indialucia group playing flamenco fusion and Indian music and of course the divine sounds of the Divine Symphony Orchestra. Great and beautiful dancers also: Kinga Malec the Kathak, Valeria Vespaziani the Bharatanatyam, Siddhi Basale the Kuchipudi. Filled with wonder, we watched Shaina's spectacular performance of Poi fire and we all danced the Bhangra at the end of the festival! Yes, it is all about the flow, being in the flow, dance within the flow...
