The Opening!

Day 1.
After months of preparation, craziness and dreaming, the festival opened after rainbow chanting with Jivan at around 9pm, under the light of the full moon brooding under some monsoon rain clouds, around 30 people chanted and drummed to open the event until 11pm.

Earlier in the day we'd welcomed in the elements with our directional towers and finished fixing our rainbow Sari roof. and let the magic into the site.

Day 2.
On Wednesday we screened The Story of Stuff http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gLBE5QAYXp8 and a film on Biodynamics in India.

Day 3.
Today we came to Kofi Bar to hold Drawing Together, Dreaming together, our weekly collective art making session. Many people have created a beautiful art work over 4 hours and there is a great energy in Kofi Bar. Every day people ask if they can participate and hold workshops. Today we were offered African Dance and yesterday Organic Music. Its being to flow, although there have also been controversies in the community about the festival. However we're determined to make it happen!
