Kudos ~ Song of the Morning

In September, Song of the Morning, a nonprofit yoga retreat center located on 800 acres of Michigan’s northern woodlands, hosted the annual birthday celebration of founder Yogacharya Oliver in a virtual format, calling for two-to-six-minute video submissions from devotees for a film festival.

       Justine Markey, programs and marketing coordinator, says, “It was truly a special weekend for us all, and the film festival really expressed the gratitude and love so many have for Song of the Morning and our founder.”

 

The resulting Global Lotus Film Festival may be viewed at Tinyurl.com/GoldenLotus2020.
