Come laugh away your ego at the Third Annual Karmic Relief on Friday May 5, while you help the Sanctuary at Shepardfields.

Proceeds from this event will help finance the installation costs of an 8 Kwh solar panel system at the Sanctuary.

The event will feature a fusion of creative antics, a light-hearted celebration of the spiritual path and all-ages participational involvement from the audience, featuring Comic Hypnotist Dan Larosa.

Watch your friends fly on magic carpets, land on a mysterious planet and speak a “foreign” language. Or maybe you’d like to experience this yourself?
