For the 9th year, I attended the Kundalini Yoga Festival in France. This international event takes place in the beautiful countryside. It was such a blessing to walk on earth (instead of paved roads) for the 8 days of the festival.

I furthered my studies of Sat Nam Rasayan with Guru Dev Singh, played percussion with Sada Sat Kaur (here is a small portion that was captured on video), in the bazaar I sold all the ceramics I brought, made new friends and saw old ones from all over the world.

There were 2,500 people in attendance this year, the biggest ever. Most of them use the camp-site. Since I'm not a camper, I usually stay in a small shared room and use the communal bathrooms. However, this year since I didn't register early enough, the first 3 nights I was in a dorm room with 49 other women. Since I was first on the waiting list for a smaller room, I ended up in the chateau where the VIPs stay. It had a private bathroom with only 3 other women, one from Brazil, a Swiss woman and another from New Mexico. I was very grateful for how that worked out.

It's a 10 to 12 hour drive from where I live to the festival, but the time passes quickly with good friends. The French countryside is so beautiful and the highways are much better than in Spain. This is a photo I took where we stopped for our picnic lunch on the way home.
