11.11 Weekend

Welcome to our sixth 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 complete the journey by visualising Love all over planet earth together.

We invite you to join us for a weekend 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.

Lovefest is a curated journey that holds space for people on their own inner journey. This means it can be transformational that changes people lives for the better. Artists and facilitators are all carefully chosen so only those that have the suitable qualifications and experience are facilitating. There is also a carefully selected crew and a qualified care team that works behind the scenes and onsite to piece the journey together and to create the spaces that can hold the experience of joy and connection.  All of our stalls including chai, kombucha, food, massage have been carefully approved by us to ensure that safety and care has been given to every part of the event.

LEAVE NO TRACE

We trust that you will all respect the environment, leave no trace and even better leave the place better than we found it. Minimise waste, take your waste back with you. Practice Love for Planet Earth. This means preparing early, packing all the things you will need to take your waste back home with you. Many campers prefer tightly sealed containers rather than plastic bags, as this is nicer to take rubbish back with you in the car.

• Bring only reusable plates, bowls cups and wash them at the festival
• Support our food vendors who buy food in bulk with minimal packaging from local markets

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
