KINGS RIVER FLOWFEST

Camping and River Rafting
with Gail, the River Guidess

June 20-24 (for 3 or 5 days)

This majestic wilderness river flows out of KingsCanyon/ Sequoia National Parks, just 90 minutes east of Fresno, CA. The Kings boasts the largest watershed of any river in the Sierra Nevada range. Un-dammed and un-spoiled, it's one of the most scenic rivers in the West.  Singles, couples, families, novice to intermediate rafters - as well as non-rafters - are all welcome. Some of our favorite local teachers, artists, musicians and healers will help to facilitate even more flow! Music, movement, drumming, breathwork and more with Nina Lakshmi Devi, Lisa Alpine and Dana Dharma Devi. Massage, yoga and healers. Pitch a tent at our secluded,  spacious riverside campsite, enjoying warm summer nights around the fire, gathered beneath a star-filled sky. Catch up on reading, sleep, meditate, raft, hike, hang out with friends, or just sit beneath the bodhi tree and watch the river flow.

Favorite artists, musicians and healers will help facilitate. Meals lovingly prepared by none other than Lydia of Lydia's Lovin' Foods (nourishing, organic, cooked and raw vegetarian fare). This adventure is about community and creative expression, self-renewal and transformation. REGISTER

When One Door Closes, Another Opens

Although we lost our lease and have closed the doors on Parker Street we will be facilitating new events at Studio 12 at the opposite end of the Sawtooth Building sometime in the future along with Rasa Travels out in the world. Studio 12 is a lovely sky-lit facility with bamboo floors, a kitchen and bathrooms!

We have moved some of our things to Studio 12 so you will feel at home and will be helping them with a bit of a facelift (painting party anyone?) We hope to resume some of our popular events and add new ones.
