Dear Brothers and Sisters,
In the five days between Krishna Puja and Ganesha Puja we expect a large number of sahaja yogis to remain in Cabella to attend both events. We would like to make the most of this opportunity and invite you to participate in a festival which involves performances of theatre, dance and music every evening and, during the day, a schedule for seminars, workshops and other events on a whole range of topics. It will be a great collective event, full of opportunities for exchanging experiences, learning from each other and simply enjoying each other’s company. It will also be a profoundly spiritual experience in which each one of us can deepen the connection with our beloved Mother and reflect on how to better bring Sahaja Yoga to the seekers of this world.
Contributing
If you (or someone you know) would like to present a seminar or workshop, or you know of artists who want to perform during the festival, please ask them to send their request to festival@sahajayoga.nl
