Ohm is Where the Art Is

ST. CROIX, U.S. Virgin Islands, Aug. 2, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Caravelle Hotel & Casino invites guests to discover St. Croix through yoga, photography and local art.

Priced at $200 person, Elemental Flow takes place on St. Croix from Sept. 1–4. Admission covers daily sessions, a fire ceremony, a fire dance performance and a dance party.
