Lovefest 11.11.23

We are coming together as one. This begins by embodying the masculine and feminine within where both doing and being become one. We surrender to the mystery and wholeness of life as it unfolds. A place from which both “answers” and “actions” arise that are aligned with our INDIVIDUAL role and purpose which is connected to our hearts and higher consciousness. From this place we can then connect with each other, and hold the vision of higher love, peace and unity in the world. WE EMBRACE, WE EMBODY, WE ALLOW.

WHAT TO EXPECT

11.11 Weekend
Welcome to our fifth 11.11. Once per year on this weekend we all come together as 1. The number 1111 in numerology is about manifesting your heart's desire and synchronicities. This year on 11.11 at 11:11am we will come together to visualise Love and Peace in the world. This begins by allowing ourselves to receive first before sending it out.  

 We invite you to join us so we can all be on this same frequency of love by being free from any mind-altering substances (including cannabis and alcohol) for the entire weekend and placing attention to our hearts. Connecting with nature, self, others, music, and workshops in the most present way together.

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 Sober Party

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
