Information

WHEN?

Girls camp: 26 July to 7 August 2010 (13 days)
Boys camp: 7 August to 21 August 2010 (15 days)

Please note that children should attend the full camp. It is to the disadvantage of the child and the vibrations of the other participants to arrive in the middle of the camp. Children will not be allowed to attend the camp for a few days only (contact the organisers here if you have trouble fitting this into your schedule).

SELECTION – A NOTE TO PARENTS

The Daglio Camp is meant to serve the spiritual growth of the Young Sahaja Yogis participating in it. For this reason, everyone who attends should be totally identified with Sahaja Yoga culture and norms of behavior. Children who have difficulty accepting the authority of the adults running the camp have a direct effect on the success and enjoyment of Daglio for everyone. Those who have found this difficult in the past will be contacted before this year’s camp, to discuss expectations of their behavior, which will then be carefully monitored.

We hope these children will see this year as an opportunity to turn their behavior around, and to take their share of personal responsibility for the success of Daglio.

All children attending the camp should be those who:

  • Meditate regularly at home of their own free will,
  • Understand vibrations and how to work with them,
  • Want to come to the camp for themselves (instead of for their parents),
  • Be fully prepared to accept the rules and procedures of the camp.

Admittedly, this is more difficult to verify with younger children. If you are in doubt feel free to contact your country leader, the designated coordinator or the contact address on the first page of this document. If parents wish to give suggestions or feedback on this or any other aspect of the camp, please use the contact page here.

THE CAMP

The children will be put into international groups of mixed ages, and will be responsible for organising and directing their own groups throughout the camp. Each group will have 1 or 2 experienced adults attached to it.There will be a wide variety of creative activities (art, dance, drama, music etc) for the children to choose from, as well as making suggestions of their own. There will also be a mixed programme of outdoor activities and team games. Each group will be responsible for making sure that all its members attend all activities of the camp (all activity sessions are compulsory). Of course we will have regular morning and evening meditations as well as Pujas and Havans etc. The accommodation in Daglio is rather spartan (mass dorms, no mattresses, cold water etc). The real joy of the camp is the depth of strong vibrations in a very close Sahaj collectivity.

COMMUNICATION

The contact address will be valid until 4 days before the camp. During the camp it is possible to phone though the phone is usually unattended (+39 0143 99397). This telephone will normally only be used in case of emergency. Children will be supplied with post cards and can phone from the village during our excursion to Cabella.

HYGIENE

We must insist that parents train their children to use water to wash themselves after going to the toilet as opposed to using toilet paper. Apart from this being far better for the Mooladhara Chakra, the toilets in Daglio get blocked if paper is used by so many people. Especially with the younger children we have seen some unhappy faces coming out of the bathroom who have not practiced this hygienic habit.

WHAT TO BRING

Clothes worn on the camp should be dignified and express Sahaj culture. All trousers and skirts for daily wear should cover the knees to protect the Nabhi and tops should cover the shoulders to protect the Shri and Lalita chakras. Of course for sports and walks the appropriate clothing should be worn. All clothes should be labelled/named.

  • Sleeping bag
  • Sleeping mat
  • Towels and a reserve toothbrush
  • Clean set of clothes (preferably Saree, Punjabi, Kurta) for Puja and Havan
  • As many changes of clothes as possible as washing facilities are sparse
  • Strong shoes for sports and walking
  • Rain jacket
  • Sun hat
  • Sun cream
  • Warm pullover and/or a jacket for cool nights
  • Small rucksack
  • Bathing suit
  • Songbook
  • Pocket money: 10€ for younger children and 20€ for older children is sufficient

WHAT NOT TO BRING

  • NO GAMEBOYS, MP3-PLAYERS OR OTHER ELECTRONIC GAMES AND GADGETS!!
  • Mobile phones are allowed but not to be used for games or music player!!
  • Private food, sweets and chocolates – this attracts mice who will eat through bags to get at any food…
  • Excessive amounts of pocket money – everything over the suggested amount usually gets invested in hoarding sweets and chocolates (which then get eaten by mice)

Please pass on this information to those whom it concerns and make copies of the registration forms as necessary. We will keep in contact with the country coordinators for the further preparation of the camp. Feel free to contact the address at the beginning of this document if you have any questions or suggestions. May this camp be another boost in the spiritual growth of our young Sahaja Yogis who are our future.

~Jai Shri Mataji!~
