One of the highlights of our journey is the Gypsy Festival of Saint Sarah in Saintes Maries de la Mer.
We will spend a festive day in the town, with parades, special events, gypsy dances and rodeos. This annual event is the largest gypsy gathering in the world. The gypsies have adopted Saint Sarah as their patron saint, seeing her as a representation of the Sacred Feminine and their goddess Kali.

Together with thousands of people we will follow in the procession where they take the statue of Saint Sara from the church down to the sea where she first arrived on the shores of the Mediterranean. The statue is blessed in the water and then returned to the church.

Through the festivities we will feel into the energy of this Black Madonna and discover the gifts she brings. Her energy is palpable in a way that is felt even through even the energy of the crowds.
