Lovefest Bondi

We are coming together in community for Lovefest by the sea, a very special journey celebrating the Element of Water. In the newly refurbished Bondi Pavilion with the stunning backdrop of iconic Bondi Beach, our amazing Facilitators will weave a story of honouring the sacred waters of the Earth and connecting to the Self within. 

When we learn to FLOW LIKE WATER, we are able to be flexible in both mind and body. Water also cleanses our energy, and our spirit which means we are then able to open up to more Love and creativity.

Through CONNECTION, DANCE and CELEBRATION. We will journey together to higher states of Love and wellbeing in a safe, creative environment where we accept each other for who we are and who we want to be, creating ripples of Love throughout Sydney and beyond. 

WHAT TO EXPECT

Our Wellness Facilitators will take you on a journey that flows on from sunshine to sunset and then moonlight With a mix of body movement, immersive experiences, community connection, inspirational discussions and a whole lot of magic!

ABOUT LOVEFEST
Lovefest is about Love for Self, Love for Community and Love for 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 intoxicants or mind-altering substances so 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. EMPATHETIC COMMUNICATION
3. BEING OF SERVICE
4. HUMILITY
5. HARMONY
6. BUILDING COMMUNITY
7. CONNECTION TO LAND
8. CELEBRATION
