KarmaFest® is the ultimate Holistic/Psychic/Yoga festival founded by Patricia Hawse in 2005. It all started while serving in Louisiana for The Red Cross for Katrina Relief. Prior to that time Patti admits she was not “into” this type of thing. But there, under the stressful and negative circumstances of post-Katrina, Patti became exposed to the benefits of holistic health first hand, when yoga and meditation was offered at the Red Cross Volunteer Shelter as a means to relieve the relief workers.
