Spirit Fest Summer Gathering is a conscious festival for all ages with Sacred Music, Dance and Art from all traditions.

Spirit Fest is committed to sustainable and harmonious living as One on planet earth. We practice this by becoming better at improving and preserving respectful relationships with nature, plants, animals and people.

SANTOSA
Living Yoga and Bhakti Camp
2020 Theme: "De-Colonising Yoga"
21 – 29 August 2020
at The Healing Field Meadow, near Glastonbury
SANTOSA is the happy acceptance of what is, just as it arises. It is the experience of contentment. And it is a sweetness of indescribable beauty. It is the name of the camp which has been running now for ten years, and the camp herself is an opportunity to EXPERIENCE SANTOSA: 'By the experience of Santosa, unparalleled happiness arises' (Yoga Sutra, 2:42).
Santosa yoga living camp is a most beautiful relaxed yoga camp enabling all those who come to immerse themselves in yogic living, unravelling layers on your inner journey to release our true potential.
There is respect for every form of yoga, and a huge variety of different forms on offer: from devotional bhakti chant and mantra in the dawn light, to Mysore style ashtanga vinyasa before breakfast, Full Moon Womb Yoga and ayurvedic yoga vinyasa for healing mid-morning, and chuckling Laughter Yoga and deep Yoga Nidra after lunch. Evenings there are fires, singing, community Kirtans, dance and meditations too. There are also loads of kids classes, baby and toddler yoga, family sessions, and healing therapies on offer.
