Vaishnava Arts Festival

The Vaishnava Arts Retreat is a gathering of devotees—or craftspeople working in different media to express their expertise and joys or art and create a calming experience for other devotees to pursue art in their practice of bhakti. Stepping back from the demands of every day can inspire leaps in creativity and our spiritual life.
