John Butler is one of Australia’s premiere alternative songwriters and storytellers with accolades spanning from #1 charting albums, platinum records and ARIA Awards across his illustrious career as one of the country’s most successful independent musicians.

His rich catalogue of iconic hits spanning over a quarter of a century include signature songs such as ‘Zebra’, ‘Better Than’, ‘Ocean’ and more. His music continues to traverse the globe having performed on the world’s most iconic stages, venues and festivals including FujiRock, Glastonbury, Coachella, Red Rocks Amphitheatre and more with his high energy live show and revered musicianship.

A Ceremonial gathering in deep loving connection and rejuvenation of mind, body and spirit with sacred vibrational medicine! Inviting one to use your conscious attention to renew and anchor in new ways of being, replacing old patterns that no longer serve us. As ancient wisdom is remembered, we recognise and ignite the power of sitting together in ceremony to focus our attention, elevate our emotions and call in a New Earth together. 

Our bodies are a construct of vibration. Every part of the body has a healthy, signature frequency and when they are all coherently communicating in harmony, this is sound health. Disharmony is dis-ease - a lowering of vibration from its natural, harmonic, resonant state. 
Constructive interference is when coherent sound waves (energy entrainment) are used during a sound healing to reharmonise and tune up the body back to its harmonious high vibrational nature!

Born to a Puerto Rican/Native American mother and a Filipino father, Nahko was adopted and raised in the suburbs of Portland, Oregon. Beginning his musical journey at 6 years old, Nahko began traveling widely in his teens, wrestling with identity, purpose, and perception. 

​

Busking on streets, selling CDs out of his guitar case, he earned a cult following. Backed by his band, Medicine For The People, Nahko’s 2013 commercial breakout album Dark As Night landed in the Billboard Heatseekers Chart top 10. Medicine For The People played major festivals including Outside Lands, Electric Forest, Wanderlust, and Bumbershoot, and sold-out Colorado’s 10,000-capacity Red Rocks Amphitheatre as headliners. 

​

 Fifth album Take Your Power Back was Nahko’s most profound and fully realized collection to date, described by When The Horn Blows as “powerful, emotional, and so heart-wrenchingly uplifting that it’s hard to find anything to fault.” Yet, dropping just as the COVID-19 pandemic took hold in 2020, the record was overshadowed both by global events and Nahko’s public shaming over online allegations.

​

Retreating to the Pacific Northwest, Nahko watched his community devastated by deadly wildfires that summer while reclaiming control of his career as his own manager and agent. At the end of 2021 he self-released the beautiful trouble EP, comprising of tracks started before the pandemic. A year later, in a semi-spontaneous outpouring of emotion and inspiration, the songs that became TRENCHES burst forth in the California studio of producer Adam Korbesmeyer.

​

 “Within seven weeks, we’d put together an album,” marveled Nahko. “The musical growth between Adam and I since we first started with Take Your Power Back has been immense.”

​

Without a label, a band, or public preconceptions looking over his shoulder, Nahko was able to enhance his signature world music and folk stylings with echoes of everything from Juice Wrld and Taylor Swift to Fleet Foxes and Bon Iver. TRENCHES is a frank expression of his musical journey and an eloquent response to recent personal controversy embraced by Nahko as his “liberation.”

​

 “I get to be rebirthed into this place where I get to call the shots,” he explained. “And it’s now moving out of the mentality of I’m just surviving to where I’m actually thriving.”

The ‘Raw Ordio’ formula is deep electronic grooves with mashups of classic remixes. Crowds will sing along, then are drenched in the fatness of the signature ‘Raw Ordio’ sound keeping them coming back for more.

As a man of Maori descent, my physical, spiritual, and ancestral connection to Mother Earth exists at a peaceful and arresting place called Ranana, found along the Wanganui River, on New

Zealand’s North Island. As a boy growing up, I struggled to understand the world and what was expected: my heart was quieted and coarsened at an early age. 

​

Today, the underpinning for all that I do is love. It is the bedrock for which I have built my unique and sole Spirit Breathwork practice; weaving and layering world instruments with their

enigmatic and concealed frequencies — there is no other like it.

​

My Spirit/Wairua Breathwork is a multifaceted weaving of conscious connected breathing with instruments of the world, intrinsically using Native American Flutes, Didgeridoos, Nepalese

singing bowls, Rav drum, guitar, and Taonga Puoro traditional Maori instruments. The looped and layered energy created has undeniable acoustic therapy properties; the result is a sound

theatre like no other you have experienced.

Allowing you, my patron, to achieve an altered state in which you can purge yourself of what doesn’t serve you and connect back to your inner being with intention and affection. I am merely a guide though - a conduit if you will - who can lead those who seek to rediscover themselves, bring forth awareness, and evoke the ever-present intrinsic wisdom within each one of us.

I BELIEVE

We are all miracles. We are all so unique and have big beautiful hearts to share with the world. We all matter and that choosing love over fear is the best fun ever! 

​

I'M NOT ABOUT

Gossip, sweeping things under the rug, long emails (I like to get straight to the point), not taking responsibility for my actions and rushing.

​

So, my darling - do you love yourself? I sure as hell didn’t! But I learned to fall in love with myself, how to look after myself and how to feed my mind, my body and my soul the best, most nourishing things Mother Nature has to offer. I learned how to master my inner Mean Girl and become Wildly Wealthy, Fabulously Healthy and Bursting With Love.
 

My intention is to empower you in all areas of your life, your health, wealth and love. To step up and to help you fall head over heels back in love with the Goddess staring at you in the mirror.

His focus is to use portraiture in a way to allow the viewer a glimpse into the depths of humanity and the expansive expression of the individual soul.

Australian singer-songwriter Olivia Rosebery takes you on a journey into the wilderness within. With a voice resonating ancient wisdom, stirring oceans deep, her songs call us into a dreaming that opens the heart in connection with the self, the earth and each other. Her music inspires and brings heart to issues such as indigenous rights, women's rights, earth regeneration and unity consciousness.

​

This wild woman of song shares a raw and powerful expression with soul-medicine music, soulful melodies and earthy poetic prose. She shares songs that have unfurled from the spirit of the land.

​

From the smokey jungles of the city, in the mud and moss of the forests, the roots and canopies of a fig tree, in the deep waters, echoing whale songs of the ocean, the gentle cascades and thunderous path of the rivers, in the beckoning wind and rustling gums of mountain tops, in the richly dry circles of a vision quest, in the whispering wisdom of the grandfathers and grandmothers, and in the starry eyes of the beloved.

Through music, Olivia welcomes a deep remembrance in us all, to become the sound as loving presence.

Kate has been a singer for as long as she can remember and first picked up the guitar when she was 14.  She has done everything musical short of playing in an orchestra… from folk to blues and cafes to weddings and community choirs.

​

Her journey has more recently carried her back to the world of chanting, mantra and kirtan, revisiting an old passion in the joy of creating uplifting sound with others.  Since this reconnection, the Ukelele and Celtic Harp have found their way into the musical landscape, supporting the original songs which seem to flow effortlessly now, fuelled by her true inspiration….  

That is:  sharing her love of voice and song to create a musical sanctuary, to connect us with others, provide refuge from the busyness of our everyday lives, quieten the mind and leave us with a deep sense of peace and joy.

California-born and Australian based roots artist Manoa brings the summer vibes by weaving uplifting reggae grooves that inspire audiences to move and soothing folk melodies that calm the mind and inspire a contemplative flow.  Manoa creates a powerful dynamic and unquestionable presence through his music as audiences are inspired by the positive messages of re-connection to nature, personal growth and transformation.

​

Create The Space, the new single by Manoa, is a collaboration between Manoa and his partner Lilla, written during COVID isolation. Too often we are rushing forward in our lives without taking a break to pause, reflect and connect with nature, ourselves and others. Create The Space is a reminder to close your eyes and breathe, feel the sun on your face and feel the emotions that are in your heart. 

​​

Manoa has shared his music at a range of folk festivals including Splendour In The Grass (2016), Mullum Music Festival (2019), Earth Frequency Festival (2020/21), and Wallaby Creek Festival (2019). He has supported and played alongside roots artists including Dustin Thomas (USA), Caravana Sun, Oka, Nicky Bomba and Murray Kyle. 

​

Manoa, a true world-bridger, completed his PhD in Environmental Education & Ecopsychology and shares his ecologic knowledge and his belief in the healing potential of the natural world through education, workshops and retreats.  Music is intimately intertwined with nature-based reconnection work, and Manoa believes the more time we spend to slow down and listen to the more-than-human world, the more the songs that we have inside ourselves will have the space to express.

​

Manoa’s time lived at the Bentley Blockade in 2014 allowed him to experience the power of music to bring community together.  He co-produced the album ‘Songs of the Bentley Blockade’ because he strongly believes in the magnetic power of music to bring healing, empowerment, self expression and to build and bond community.​​

​

“Manoa will be sure to bring an positive energy and uplifting groove to the stage!”

"A groover, a maker, a DR (PhD - excuse me!). Bring on the vibes of summer.”

As we all know laughter is the best medicine! It has a positive and powerful effect that laughter has on overall health and well-being. 

​

I have enjoyed being a professional comedian for over 20 years now and totally understand the power laughter has on your mental, physical, and spiritual wellbeing. 

​

I was deep in depression during many years of being a comedian and I believe that if I didn't have a laugh during that time I would not be here today.

For Gabriella, acroyoga is a profound metaphor for life, allowing us all to embody and share trust, conscious communication, play, group problem-solving and exploration, considerate and consensual touch, and deepening self-love and self-acknowledgement. 

With over 15 years of teaching and facilitating under her belt, across many different creative modalities, including multiple acroyoga teaching tours up and down the East Coast, you’re in experienced hands. 

If you’ve never had the joy of flying on someone else’s feet before, it’s time to come and experience a brand new feeling of liberation! If you’ve already had a taste of acroyoga, you’ll know the satisfaction of using intelligent body mechanics to achieve things you might not have thought possible even a minute before. Yes, you’re strong enough. Yes, you’re flexible enough. The only real question is… Are you willing to come play??

Bella Abraham is a spoken word artist and poet, who has been perfecting this artform for the last 7 years. 

She has performed at the Sydney opera house in the grand finale of Australian National poetry Slam. Bella believes poetry is Holistic more than it is "literary". She aims to encourage anyone big or small that our creative expression doesn't need labels of " writer" to be able to write. Writing poetry comes from a re- remembering of curiosity to connect to our hearts.

DJ Melotion * Mixing A Melodic Potion
For Mel, dance isn't just a pastime—it's a profound experience of liberation and healing. Encountering ecstatic dance was a revelation, unleashing an energy within her that she had never felt before.
 

Fuelled by a lifelong passion for music and a deep-seated belief in the power of somatic practices, Mel found her calling in the ecstatic dance scene. Her vibrant persona, akin to walking sunshine, radiates joy and warmth, uplifting all who cross her path.
 

In her daytime dance sessions, Mel curates an oasis of positivity, where vibrant electronic tunes set the stage for uninhibited self-expression. It's a space where everyone is encouraged to embrace their true selves and revel in the freedom of movement.

For Mel, dance is a language of the soul—a journey of self-discovery and expression, a way to translate emotions into motion. Each step on the dance floor is a journey of exploration, an ever-evolving expression of one's innermost being and feeling empowered to just dance and  share that essence with the world. However that looks! This is Your Dance.
