By Candradasa on Fri, 13 Jul, 2012 - 13:40The Buddhafield Festival is one of the highlights of any year in the Triratna Buddhist Community’s calendar. It’s a mesmerising, inspiring, deeply moving five-day jamboree of activities in a secret realm in the heart of the English West Country. Rain or shine, it’s an unforgettable experience – a new twist on the classic British summer festivals like Glastonbury. Buddhafield has music, dance, healing spaces, wonderful food, places to talk and discuss and debate and discover – and all...
Lokabandhu again, reporting on the huge range of beneficial activities to engage in at Buddhafield. Workshops in everything from Ecstatic Dance to Permaculture, as well as lots of different Buddhist groups offering spaces and time for practice. Lots of grooviness (brilliant music, wonderful food!), beautiful healing and body spaces, and lots of opportunities to go deeper and connect with others. Go get yourself a ticket if you haven’t already and experience the wonder of the Festival for yourself!
