The story I want to share with you begins far before the actual festival.
As you may or may not read my previous travel log about the Yoga and Tantra day, where I’ve been to both Oxford’s and London’s Tara Yoga Centres and discovered the meaning of being a tantra practitioner <- this is how I found out about the Tantra Festival, happening very soon in London.

Yoga & Tantra DAY!

TARA YOGA CENTRE
Oxford + London

Foreword:
I decided to write this story as it is a typical manifestation of “luck”, “coincidence” and “fate” moments in my life. That’s when I have this feeling that everything is going as it is supposed to go, when it feels that I am in the right place, at the right time. 

On the early early morning of the last day of September I took the X90 bus from Marylebone, London to St Clements Street, Oxford. The student ticket with return cost 14 £ and the journey time is about 2h.

First Hitch-hiking experience.

On the Monday morning, 7th of August,

I am really grateful for having such an amazing and skilful partner and guide for my first hitch-hiking experience.

Organised and informed by the SWOP* team, a group of around 25 students gathered to witness and participate at the Legal Graffiti Event in Hall of Fame, Augsburg.

Getting there was adventurous and hilarious. Lots of explaining so if you’re not that into the details of my life, skip to the next paragraph. 😀

Apollo 13

Me and two of my friends on exchange here as well, from Odessa (Ukraine) Alyona Pencheva and Yuliia Bailiuk went on the night of Friday to see the spectacular firework right from the Augsburg’s annual Amusement Park Plärrer.

After being really indecisive about going to try out one of the attractions from the amusement park, Alyona joined me for a ride in the Apollo 13 while Yuliia filmed us! 😀

Around 4 pm students from the Lechbrücke dormitory gathered on the 19th floor to cook food on a barbecue.

In the evening of April’s last Saturday, over 100 students from Hochschule gathered at the Business, Design and Informatics Campus for an event created and organised by SWOP-team. The participation fee was 10 €.

Unfortunately I didn’t want to pre-drink and the pizza wasn’t vegan so I found myself occupied and entertained by taking videos and photos of others.
