Namaste, Daniel and Gloria.

I am a volunteer with a Kirtan Yoga and Krishna Culture festival tour that travels throughout North America, performing Kirtan Yoga and Krishna Culture festivals at universities, theaters, outdoor festivals and yoga studios. We've just completed our 14th annual summer festival tour of the USA and Canada with performances in 26 cities, and are planning a winter tour in Mexico.

We could perhaps visit you at the Zipolite beach area during December 25 - 28. We have two dozen kirtan singers, musicians, Bharata-natyam dancers, and life-long practicing Bhakti-yogis traveling with us. We could hold a kirtan yoga festival / drum circle on the beach for a couple of days during that time, plus we could do more formal presentations at your Shambala yoga retreat center if you are interested.

We can offer mantra meditation workshops. We have several accomplished Bharata-natyam dancers who can perform beautiful dances for your guests and visitors. We have actors who can perform dramas based on topics in the Bhagavad-gita, and we have traditional Kirtan / bhajan singers from the Bhakti yoga tradition of India. We have a mobile commercial kitchen on our bus. We can cook prasad for all who participate in the festivals. There would be no fee. We do this as an offering of love wherever we go.

Please contact me at my email address and I'll send you more information (photos, videos of our festival tour, etc.)

Sincerely,

Manu Dasa

Wow, Awesome photos from your 2008 Krishna Culture Festival! Very inspiring and what a beautiful celebration of devotional life. I would love to have your group visit Zipolite beach this December. I sent you an e-mail concerning the possibility of staying at Shambhala. I pray it comes together for your participation on the beach in front of Shambhala Vision. Your answer from Gloria will soon be sent to you and we can go from there. Many blessings!

Namaste, Daniel de Shambhala
