The same professionals/healers/space holders/body workers who were joining the festival have also gifted us their time and will be offering free workshops, talks and classes. There will be psychedelic art displays (some of which is for sale) as well as other arts and crafts from members of the community.

​

You are welcome to come along, even if you do not attend any of the things happening on the day. Members of the community will be around and there will be other things happening, including opportunities to meet interesting people and have meaningful conversations. The Active Wellness Cafe will be serving food and drink all day (food is the only thing that isn't free).

Kambo is a therapeutic substance that hails from the Amazon jungle and it is likely that Kambo has been used for Millennia. The tribes that work with it have no memory of the exact time of its origin only ancient stories.

7.00 - 9.00pm - Ecstatic Dance - David

Ecstatic â€‹dance is a form of movement that encourages people of all shapes, sizes and backgrounds to immerse themselves in a nonjudgmental space, and allow their bodies to move as they desire.
