SCRIPT
Devotees of the new-age spiritual group the Universal White Brotherhood gathered near the shores of lake Bubreka, a part of the Seven Rila Lakes in Bulgaria, to mark the beginning of the solar new year on Monday.
As part of the event members of the Universal White Brotherhood dressed all in white, sang songs and held talks on their beliefs.
The culmination of the event is a communal dance called a "Paneurhythmy" where devotees move in concentric circles which is believed by the group to connect them to a higher cosmic energy.
The group was founded by Bulgarian spiritualist Peter Deunov in the 1920s and combines various practices from Christianity, Buddhism, Solar-centrism and Hinduism.
