Who cares about the latest range of yoga pants, how long you can hold a handstand or who has the greatest social media following. The South Coast Soul Festival wants to know what gets you out of bed in the morning, what thoughts follow you to sleep at night, which beliefs place a limitation on your capacity for growth, and what you plan on doing with this life? The festival isn't just for yoga teachers. It's for students, non-yogis, creatives, seekers, men, women, the LGBTQ community, the 'old', the 'young'. Bring your guitar, poetry, hula hoop, art, creative writing, voice, heart, lungs, beautiful mind, and smiling face to this year's festival.

Kitty & Frank
Candelo, September 15
Songstress Lucie Thorne is known for the poetry of her lyrics and the sensitive touch she brings to her subjects as she weaves a story and melody around them. For her album titled "Kitty & Frank", she has added a twist to her songs, embracing dream-soaked synths that dip into the world of pop in what she described as a "venture into new territory". Thorne was looking forward to returning to Candelo, her old home town, saying "clearly it's a place that's dear to my heart". She will perform Kitty & Frank from front to back with a full band, will tell a few stories of the lovers, and will be supported by local harpist and vocalist Anactoria. The show is at Candelo Town Hall from 3pm. Tickets are $25/$20; visit the Trybooking website to purchase.
