 BAKA WORKSHOPS really took off last year and the summer saw the first and very fabulous BAKA CAMP. . . a weekend of exploring all things Baka. . . singing, percussion, guitar, discussion, films, forest skills.
Wonderful hot food was provided and a gig, yoga and massage thrown into the mix!!
It took place in a beautiful ancient orchard near Gloucester with good weather, a full moon, singing round the camp fire, round house, yurts and lots of laughter. It was such fun that we are doing it again, twice! Places are limited to 40, so early booking is essential.
