ABOUT LOVEFEST

Lovefest is about Love for Self, Love for Community, and Love for the planet. We connect with ourselves and each other so we can send ripples of Love to our families, community, nation, and then the entire planet.


Lovefest events have 3 pillars: Health and Wellbeing, Community Connection, and Dance.
Without any substances that impair cognition, we are all on the same wavelength. We come together to connect, transform, and celebrate, whilst holding the same vision and intention to spread love into the world and take action post-event. We then start to make a difference in our lives and the lives of others. This then ripples out into the society we live in, positively impacting the community at large and eventually the country and planet.


The 8 Principles of Lovefest are:


1. INNER JOURNEY
2. COMPASSIONATE COMMUNICATION
3. BEING OF SERVICE
4. HUMILITY
5. HARMONY
6. BUILDING COMMUNITY
7. CONNECTION TO LAND
8. CELEBRATION
