Jimi (Jimi Dale who organised it) had told us it would be a personal journey but I didn't have any expectations. However, it really was. After the weekend I was on a high for ages (still a lot happier now) and I felt like I had moved mental blockages just by the dancing, singing and drumming. Without having to analyse any feelings. Over three days we learnt a djembe rythm, a song and a dance for three elements - Earth, Fire and Water. Then on the eve of the last day we put it all together in an unforgettable ceremony - with Air added as a free solo dance. Prana was a wonderful location which added to the experience. The weather was great for camping and each day I swam in the magnificent ocean and set my intention for the day: to flow with energy and love. The last day I felt much more open and connected to the people around me than I have for years. This was an amazing weekend.

I went to this camp to better myself and be inspired, well it did all of that plus a million things more, a true cosmic shift, not just a drumming and African dance camp. If you ever get a chance to work with Chris, welllllllll as Nike says "JUST DO IT", Johnnyb Rhythm Interactive All I can say is that I went to Chris’s camp with an open mind, not really sure what to expect but the experience was life changing.
