Power of Community: Shakti Fest 2018

In the middle of the Californian desert, I found myself at a heart-centered celebration: Shakti Fest.

For three days, men and women from all corners of the world gathered to sing sacred music, grow their yoga practice, and honor the divine feminine in us all. My most significant take-away was the power of community for spiritual growth and support. Take a look at our video as we catch up with Shakti Fest’s executive director, Sridhar, and yoga teachers, Kia Miller and Govind Das to discuss the alchemy of gathering in community.

Video Music: Jai Ma (Down to the Sea Mix) by Govind Das & Radha

Filmmaker: Audrey Billups
