Spiritual Firm Festival
Opening night is fast approaching.
Friday, September 10th. Our feature film for the evening begins at 7:30 with a post-film reception on the lovely deck behind The Roxy following the viewing.
Seating is limited. Get your tickets at Artworks today!
Opening Night Feature ...
“Hippie Masala”
In the 1960s and 1970s, thousands of hippies journeyed east to India in search of enlightenment, free drugs or a “pure” life. Indian peasants assumed that a severe drought in the West was the reason for their migration. India’s holy men saw it, more accurately, as a search for spirituality. Most moved back to their home countries after a few months or years. Some stayed for good. Cesare, an Italian expatriate, is still there searching and striving for spiritual liberation through back-breaking yoga. Hanspeter, a man originally from Switzerland, runs a small farm in the Himalayas. Erica and Gilian, South African twins, sew hippie handicrafts by day and party tirelessly at night. Hippie Masala is a fascinating chronicle about aging flower children who, after fleeing western civilization, found a new way of life in India. 93 Minutes
For complete listing of the Spiritual Film Festival films see the Island of Peace Yoga website.

Softball Skills Clinic
Plans are underway for a half-day Softball Skills Clinic for players and coaches, to be held at Rollo McClay field on Sunday September 12. Players can improve their skills at hitting, fielding, catching and throwing. Meanwhile coaches can observe how a “master” imparts the tricks of the trade. The master is George Kelly, sports educator at Vancouver Island University. George is a great coach, who is equally knowledgeable at baseball skills and how to impart them. The clinic is for players 9 years and older, on into adulthood. It will run from 10:30 to 1:00 (followed by a coaches’ lunch and discussion, upstairs at Roberts’ Restaurant). Suggested donation: for kids and teens $15, for adults $30. Please register early (so we know we have the interest to go ahead). To register call 247-7476.
