6 DAYS OF SACRED MUSIC, YOGA, WORKSHOPS, AND INTENSIVES
ROADRUNNER DUNES
4733 DESERT KNOLL AVE, TWENTYNINE PALMS, CA 92277
WELCOME TO BHAKTI FEST 2019
What a whirlwind it has been for Bhakti Fest this year! Through the changes and
challenges, our team has worked diligently to create a sacred space and bring
together our conscious heart centered community for the 11th annual Bhakti
Fest. Here we are...so excited to gather in our new home at Roadrunner Dunes in
the City of 29 Palms, we hope you will love the new space and all the expanded
offerings it allows us.
At Bhakti Fest we join together in sacred space, to expand our consciousness
and be transformed. There are so many offerings to immerse yourself in, from
workshops to uplift your mind, body and spirit, to two stages featuring Kirtan
and sacred music, and a huge array of yoga classes for every level. Plus sound
healings, transformational bodywork and our incredible Kidsland. The Mantra
Dome is returning where you can get up close and personal with your favorite
artists. Don’t miss your chance to learn the ins and outs of playing Kirtan at
Kirtan School, sponsored by Old Delhi. There is truly something for everyone
from the most experienced seeker to those just beginning their journey.
Bhakti Fest is a time to let go of all that no longer serves us. You’re invited to
leave the busy world behind and open your hearts and minds. Make sure to take
care of yourself. Drink plenty of water, (available filtered at the Ener-C Vibrant
Water Shrine). Use sunscreen liberally and cover up with a hat or scarf. Enjoy
a wide array of delicious vegetarian/vegan fare in our Food Court. Take care of
Mother Earth and be mindful of trash bins, recycling, and personal waste. Please
keep electronics use to a minimum. Take time to just sit among the trees and
reflect, or join in enlightened conversation with your community.
Thanks to the Roadrunner Dunes and their staff, all of the artists, teachers and
presenters, our sponsors and vendors, and the Bhakti Fest staff. Gratitude to all
of you for coming together and contributing to the magic of the festival. We
could not do it without you.
In loving service,
The Bhakti Fest Staff
