That early June weekend was very hot. This is very unusual as tempertures in the Bay Area are usually very pleasant. We followed the usual pattern of competitions with balloons, hula hoops, tossing objects, the undressing race, and body sculptures. This was followed by water squirting wars and body painting clay! In the evening we enjoyed a talent show of many participants.

As of the publishing of this page 2017 was the last year I mounted Bodyfest at Lupin Lodge. We did 4 of them in total. In 2018 and 2019 I did smaller iterations of the event in Canada. And 2020 not much happened becasue of COVID. For 2021 I am planning a different approach at Bare Oaks... mainly workshops for body/mind with a variety of workshop leaders.
