Symbiosis Gathering ended this weekend to an array of colours, creative expression, art and good-naturedness, so obviously Instagram was abuzz with the action.

This past weekend, hundreds of people descended upon Oakdale, California, to celebrate the Symbiosis Gathering, which sees a convergence of mindful living, social interaction, artistic display of brilliance and music. And per usual, everyone took it to Instagram, which stayed busy with some of the more choicest images from the festival. The Sherp took some time to scout for those that represented the festival in the truest manner!
