This is a gathering for everyone who loves yoga and/or bhakti, and wants to camp and practice in a beautiful meadow overlooking Glastonbury Tor.
If your heart sings at the thought of spending a week in the beauty of nature, with the company of pure hearted loving souls who enjoy to practice yoga, chanting, meditation and bhakti yoga, then you are most welcome to join us.
We shall be working co-operatively to create an ashram experience that holds and nurtures everyone with the living spirit of karma yoga (the yoga of self-less service) and nourishes everyone by all eating delicious meals together. We have a gorgeous ashram kitchen and a super-comfy covered seating area. Our site is the beautiful healing field up high overlooking Glastonbury Tor, a couple of miles from Shepton Mallet.
Santosa is a clear pure space, alcohol and drug-free, a family-friendly home for yogis of all ages.
This is for you if you like the sound of :
- a week camping in nature with view of Glastonbury Tor
- yoga classes all day
- bhakti and kirtan at all hours

Singing together and swinging from branches …An enchanted day with creative ways to explore and respond to the beautiful woodlands around you. Time to breathe the fresh air, to leave your everyday cares behind and get inspired in the great outdoors. You don’t need to know how to sing, how to dance, what trees are called or indeed anything. You need curiosity, a good jacket and a sense of adventure. The woods await you and beckon you in …
You will be guided by Mel and Itta, both experienced leaders in ecological arts, improvisation and site-specific performance. Their workshop style is supportive and playful. Beginning with a good vocal and physical warm up, we explore using voice, words, movement, trailmaking, questing, mapping, foraging, group creativity and solo reflection time. We inhabit our voices and bodies, season and place together, landing in the present with a satisfying thump.

Women, let’s come together and dance!
Dancing is a radical act of self pleasure and connection with all that is sacred
For how long have you been dreaming of a better life and a better world?
Are you ready to dance your dream awake in pleasure?
We women are by nature powerful magicians. In ancient (and modern!) earth cultures our moon time and menopause/wise elder years were known as times of special power and potential. Our bodies hold the mystery of creating and giving life. Old teachings say that not only can we make babies, but that we give birth to everything in our lives. As well as our physical children, our “children” include our own bodies, our homes, relationships, artistic creations, jobs, businesses, leisure activities, everything! Not all of us will have babies and raise a family. But we do all give birth and are mothers to ourselves and our lives.
Making friends with ourselves as powerful birthing women can change the quality of our life experience dramatically as we begin to define in our own terms how we wish to live, what children we desire to birth and nurture. Awakening the Dancer within is a beautiful way for any woman to learn to give birth to her own self. By dancing the 5 Rhythms of flowing, staccato, chaos, lyrical and stillness, we can learn to bring all parts of ourselves together and consciously give birth to our full power and beauty.
It is a simple and profound dance/movement meditation, that with regular practice can help us to become more authentically ourselves and find our natural way in life. Pleasure is a key to this journey! Joining together to dance with other women at full moon time creates a powerful sanctuary and cauldron of creation for us all to be nourished by. Women of all ages and experience are warmly welcome. Dress in comfy layers, bare feet or soft shoes and be prepared to sweat!

Tuesday 26 June 2012
7 – 9pm
Love Lounge (aka The Back Bar), behind The Bell Inn, 103 Walcot Street, Bath BA1 5AW
In this two-hour class, Kate will be cramming in as much as she can of the Raw Magic philosophy. What are the best raw foods to include and which are the best to avoid. How to transition easily and achieve your goals effortlessly, without stress and yo-yo-ing. Some of the common bad habits people slip into and ways to avoid them. How to avoid deficiencies on a raw diet.
And then, what happens when we start getting it right. The natural highs that come from eating the best foods on the planet. The transformations that start to occur in our lives. And why these personal changes are so important to the wider culture and our global environment.
We will have limited time for questions, but Kate will try and answer as many as she can. Don’t forget to bring pen and paper!
There will be Kate’s books and other Raw Living products, including chocolate bars and cake, available to buy. We are unable to take cards or cheques so please bring cash with you.
