  4. Collaboration between overseas artistes (eg. MahaKirtan); collaboration between overseas artistes and local artistes (eg. with Catur Widodo, Ayu Lakshmi)

  6. Terrific dance and music sessions in yoga workshops, eg. Bollywood, West African dance
  7. Absolutely trance-like hypnotic sessions by Mamadou Diabate and Indonesian gamelan ensembles
