Santosa camp is back!
Sunday 3 – Sunday 10 June 2012
nr Shepton Mallet, Somerset
early bird price for the first 75 tickets!
Santosa (pronounced Santosha) means the happy acceptance of what is, as it is.
The experience of Santosa is at the heart of a living practice of yoga. It’s the bottom line for bringing yoga to life. With Santosa, everything in life is yoga. Without Santosa, even yoga practice isn’t really yoga! When we experience Santosa we are living yoga (read all abut it in the Yoga Sutras!).
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
- no need to cook, just pack your plate and cutlery and we’ll eat together ashram style
- children’s workshops in arts, crafts and yoga
- hot showers under the trees

at a spa location in Bristol
Everyone welcome: couples, singles or groups! We have designed this event as something you can come to alone and not feel shy or isolated. You will be welcomed with kindness, warmth and friendship ♥
Every year we hear the same thing. Friends asking friends “What are you doing for New Year’s Eve?” and often the reply is “I don’t know. I don’t want to be in all the chaos and mayhem or watching TV by myself. I’d like to be conscious about the transiting of the year and be with like minded people” or something along these lines. There are not many places oone can go by oneself and not feel awkward and shy. This event is the kind of event you can attend alone and very quickly you will find that it is an easy and welcoming environment to be in.
