At Shanti Revolution’s fifth annual Music for Peace festival, people drifted wherever the wind took them, using any and every medium to express themselves; they turned from artists into drummers, then into dancers, all in one day. At its core, the all-day festival is a joyful celebration of music and connection, born out of a desire to spread peace.

This year’s festival was somewhat bittersweet for the yoga shala, which closed its studio doors to the public on Friday.
