This was the third year at Bare Oaks in this full-weekend form, activities and workshops every hour! Photos are in chronological order: Friday evening, foam party and a lively drum cicle. Saturday started with yoga and moved through juggling, figure drawing, naked snake, and the Freedom Games. At night we had a dance party with a shadow box. Sunday offered new adventures with body painting.
On-camera: about 100 people throughout the weekend
