This Lovefest is an opportunity to come together from near and far to connect and to be held by nature's abundance. On your easeful journey in, take in the stunning views of the rock face mountains from the world’s second largest canyon, breathe in the crisp open air, and let your nervous system relax.On arrival, take a moment to ground and feel into the land. Experience some special wildlife: the birds (honey-eaters!), the sugar gliders, the roos and wallabies. There are vast lookouts within walking distance to see the sunset and sunrise. At night, listen to the gentle sounds of nature, take in the incredible view of the stars and let the land whisper to you.
HONOUR ONE OF LOVEFEST'S BIGGEST VALUES
One of Lovefest's biggest values is "We are all intentionally Drug and Alcohol free for the weekend during our time together." This is a sober festival and the reasons for this are very special and important.
Why?
- Deepen connection with community and nature around us.
- More depth that carries into our everyday life.
- Everyone is on same wavelength
- A safe space for individuals and families that want to be in a sober environment
- Creating a heart led frequency together that actually energises us and allows us to access natural states of ecstasy
- Helps to regulate our nervous systems and turn our worries of the world into possibilities of Love.
We bring forth respect, renewal, vitality, honouring and becoming, and walk mindfully.
THE FLOW OF LOVEFEST BLUE MOUNTAINS - CAPERTEE
A special community nourishment zone called the Fire Stage has emerged from the land where we will have live music, open mic, and karaoke, surrounded by markets, with many food and drink options including chai, cacao, teas plus massage space and a children's space. This is all for fun and connection. Come for the tunes, stay for the relaxation and joy.
We co-create the Water Stage, where deep connection to self and others will be shared. And the Earth Stage, which is perfect for sharing of Indigenous Culture, Dance, Movement, Singing, and Sound Journeying.
With the Children's Space (young at age and at heart) called The Fun Hub, they can learn bushcraft, fire, shelter making, throw spears - safely, make nature jewellery, play and more!
With over 40 Facilitators, there will be something for everyone!
We will begin with Wirimbili taking us through a Smoking ceremony, welcome, dance and song. This will be led by Emma Syme, Dabee Country of the Wiradjuri Nation.
