This was the 3rd big event again at Lupin Lodge, California, the perfect location for us with a big lawn, a stage, restaurant, pool, etc. Some new workshop leaders joined us this year and we did much of the usual activities with live music, and our Nude Olympics. Mud, massage, water fights, body paint, hula hoops and balloon games, kept things hopping.

nomad-notes
I don't have anything particular to report about this weekend except that it went very well. For some reason we could not get much interest in doing an afterparty a few days later like we did in 2014. In 2016, the following year, I cancelled the event months before, for personal reasons. So 2017 was the next time Bodyfest happened.
