Lovelight Yoga and Arts Festival Returns C
elebrate the spirit of yoga and community—from the grassroots of the ‘60s counterculture to the modern yoga and transformational arts gather- ings—at the Lovelight Yoga and Arts Festival. The second annual festival will be held August 18 to
20, in Darlington, Maryland, just a few hours from Washing- ton, D.C. The festival draws some of the most beloved national
teachers, kirtan, music and yoga headliners—including Krishna Das, Dharma Mittra, Trevor Hall, Dana Trixie Flynn, Tina Malia and MC Yogi—as well as many other well-known regional teachers. Throughout the festival, attendees will have the opportunity to enjoy musical performances, yoga classes, flow arts, themed campsites, drum circles, vegan and vegetarian food vendors, art installations, live painting, interactive art projects, workshops, fire dancing, wholesome libations and high vibrational food. This is a family-friendly festival with children more than welcome at the G-rated event. Kidding Around Yoga and Haris Lender will be presenting an awesome children’s vil- lage that will feature yoga, meditation, kirtan, music, arts and crafts, hooping, magic shows and more. More than an ordinary festival, Lovelight seeks to en- gage attendees in a wholly interactive environment, with the goal to enlighten and empower, as well as encourage expres- sion and participation. The team responsible for the festival notes that “The line between performer and participant is blurred … with everyone having a part in a cosmic passion play that creates inspiration, knowledge and fellowship. We share the light inside of us and know that we are warmed by the light in others.”
Early-bird tickets are available online now and include camp- ing. For more information or to purchase tickets, visit
