SAMSARAFEST 2020 - Healing Festival

What to expect: 
Yoga Nidra- "Yogic Sleep" Or Yoga Nidra is a meditation and conscious relaxation practice that is intended to induce total physical, mental & emotional relaxation. Expect some gentle movement while seated on the floor for about 10 minutes prior to laying down. Pillows and bolsters can support the body nicely in yoga Nidra as well so bring any additional support for yourself.

*Some sessions might use strobe lights, some are silent, and yet others are very loud. Step aside if you personally find either of these experiences uncomfortable.

What to bring:
Bring a yoga mat, blanket and warm clothes and socks to keep warm while typically laying flat on your mat during yoga Nidra
If part of your practice, you may also bring seat cushion and mala beads (for self or for exchange)

Part of our festival’s connection tradition includes exchanging gifts or items that you bring to the festival. (rocks, stones, bead bracelets, etc.)

Experience level: 
All ages and experience levels welcomed.

If the session has a theme of silent meditation or sound healing, please help us maintain the quiet atmosphere and decorum.

Things to consider:
The season is Spring which means the weather is still a bit unpredictable. Please dress in layers.

Please silence your phones at all times and step to the back of the room if you need to engage with it. We would however recommend an unplugged experience if you are able.

The festival brings a multitude of experiences and packs a tight schedule. We encourage you to take breaks as needed. Remember to stay hydrated and please connect with festival volunteers if you have questions.
