SUNDAY July 23, 2023 (reduced admission rate for new arrivals)
Today we start on the front lawn with yoga, but then 10 am through until 2 pm we'll be in the area around the beach/lake/lawn. At 2 pm we are on the front lawn again or some other location TBA.
9 am - Davo: Stretch & Yawn easy HATHA YOGA.
10 am - Rahul & Devika: ENERGIZE YOUR AURA Inner energy development with breathing, sound vibrations, and subtle movements.
11 am - EARTHY BODIES - at the beach, cover your body with cool designs using 3 shades of clay. It’s like body-painting but washes off easily! We will take a GROUP PHOTO of earth bodies. Then WATER SPRAY FIGHT, still near the beach.
12 pm - NAKED SOUL CIRCLE - Join Christine for a conscious relationship discovery circle with short exercises that will connect us with new ways of communicating safe, energetic and physical self awareness. Her soul circles always lead to laughs, wholesome giggles and heart expansion.
1 pm - BODY IMPRESSIONS - (near the beach) Splotch paint on your body, then roll on a canvas! Instant Art! Wash the safe watercolour paint off in the lake. Roll up and take home your 5’ x 5’ canvas.
2 pm - NEUROGENIC ART with Sharamine - This is an instinctual form of art where the parameters are simple enough that you can clear your thoughts and let your hand create random loops.
2 pm (alternate) VOLLEYBALL with Chris D.
3 pm to 5 pm - Robert & Sean: ALL ARE PHOTOGENIC - We will start with spelling out “BODYFEST” with our bodies lying on the front lawn and a drone shooting from above. Then this group of photo-ok people will move together around the grounds and mindfully create images of themselves enjoying naturism by photographing each other in different situations. Other people in the park will NOT be included in photos. Only our event cameras will be used. Robert will provide guidance for the use of the camera and setting up creative angles. Every person participating must be 100% OK with being in photos. Robert will edit and share the best photos with participants soon after Bodyfest. MEET AT THE BODYFEST TENT.
