"Meet and Greet"
Friday late afternoon and early evening join us for the meet-and-greet on the front lawn. Robert will lead you in some easy group hand-linking games while Chris D rock and rolls on this guitar! This is a good time to arrive at Bare Oaks and check in with the Bodyfest Kiosk and then the Bare Oaks office. There will still be time to find a camp spot and set yourself up for the weekend.

Her workshop is called "Connect" and she will take you through flowing movements that use the energy of the universe to connect to each other and all things around us. It is the same energy known as "chi" or "ki" or "prana". You already have this potential energy in you.
