Is anyone going to this?  My friend, who I am currently traveling with, is heading to this next week.  I can't decide whether to go or not.  Any opinions on whether it is worth my expense coming from Malaysia?  I'm a bit concerned about the prana aspect.

Cheers,
Stephen 

Hey Stephen, what is pranic culture? I am sometimes confused, why fruitarianism is associated with breatharianism... Here are some details about this interesting gathering (copied for the history :):

FruktiFest 2010

This first International Fructivore / Fruitarian and Breatharian Festival will be an exceptional event in Human history. Fructivory is the practice of eating only fruit, so neither roots, tubers, stalks, leaves and nor, obviously, animal products. Fruitarianism is fructivory and the philosophy of respect associated with it. The fruit, rich in water, picked and eaten raw immediately and in conscience, in or under the fruit plant, are foods that have the greatest life force and aura : The Prana. Thus, fructivory prepares the way for pranic nourishment which consists of feeding only on love, fresh water, air, sun, contact with earth and sand... In contrast to fasting; this «hibernates» the digestive system, stabilises body weight and gives more energy and time awake.

FRUKTIFEST 2010 will take place between the 1^st and 22^nd of August 2010 in Paimpont, Brittany, France, which is in the Brocéliande Forest known for its legends of enchantment. Brittany is one of the exceptional tourist regions of Europe, having many megaliths and a wild natural beauty, with beaches, islands, forests, heaths and more. There, in August, the average minimum and maximum temperatures are 14 and 25 degrees C, and rainfall is slight.

Aims

1. To define and express a world fructivore/fruitarian and pranic culture.
2. To develop the international fruitarian/fructivore and pranic network.
3. To have fun, to radiate good vibrations that will help and save nature, animals and plants, to become stronger, to develop muscle tone and to further our self-development.
4. To practice fructivory or a liquidarian diet for those who are neither fructivore/fruitarian, nor liquidarian, on condition of abstaining from any drug (tobacco, coffee, wheat (bread), cocoa, tea, alcohol, cannabis etc.) while staying positive, and [abstaining] from any animal products or products tested on animals such as: meat, fish, dairy, eggs, honey, leather, wool, silk, or plants: roots, stalks, leaves or sprouted seed.

Participation

The festival is based on complete free access thanks to the gifts from some eventual voluntary donors if they feel like giving few euros at the end of their stay, but also (and preferably to money) on sharing and participation. Some artists may pass a hat around to collect euros after their show. Trips to gather wild berries and fruits will be organized. It will be possible, thanks to the donations of some, to collect you at the coach stop 5 km away in Paimpont, from a bus coming from Rennes, the big town nearby.

Interpreting

As of today (18^th September 2009) we have interpreters registered for: English, French, Dutch, German and possibly Esperanto and Castilian (Spanish). We are looking for other free interpreters.

Activities

There will be sungazing, yoga, lectures, walks and jogging in the forest, limbering up and muscle building exercices, meditation, shamanic drumming, song, dance, massage and music creation sessions. Suggestions for activities or improvements will be given directly to the Organization Committee members, or during the evening general gathering.

Yes, what is pranic culture???  Maybe there are different types of air out there that we mere Fruit eaters are not aware of?  Haha!  I decided not to go but my friend Nick is on his way there now and is going to fill me in on all these topics.  Apparently there are going to be some breatharians attending.
