Our principles are a co-creation from our organising team — the ethos we bring to this gathering and to the wider world.
We come together in a beautiful outdoor setting to share and make a collective experience. We invite everyone to make a positive impact on our surroundings and our relationships with all beings — to quietly be present with the Land.
Connect harmoniously with all beings: ourselves, our human family, flora and fauna, the wild things and the elements. With open minds, curiosity and wonder, we surrender and connect with our own true nature.
Engage in random acts of kindness — recognising, witnessing and celebrating others. Each small act creates a ripple effect, encouraging a culture of generosity, empathy and mutual support.
We invite conscious participation in sharing our imagination, listening and action — to enable a harmonious and vibrant way of being together.
Through shared experience, we co-create an inclusive, non-hierarchical space where everyone has a voice. We value face-to-face, heart-to-heart connection in real human presence.
Communal celebration has been practised for centuries. We generate pleasure through collective co-creation, self-expression and human diversity. An attitude of gratitude raises the vibration of our reality. Have fun!
Namaste — “the divine in me honours the divine in you.” Keep it lit!
Arrive early and settle in. Before joining the fire, you're invited on a guided walk in our surroundings, learning from nature's rhythms and cycles. Then into circle — meeting in gratitude, limbering up, letting it all out after our journeys. Through barefoot communion with the Earth and shared intention, we honour the land, awaken our senses and root in the spirit of community. The fire ceremony is not a fire of the past, but one fuelled by who we are becoming.
Opening ourselves, listening, observing, looking for commonality, honouring diversity, breaking free. We learn how self-reflection leads to liberation, how openness sharpens awareness, and how to build bridges for peace from unlikely places. It's all about who we are being as a learner.
“Singing together is the key to world peace” (Brian Eno). We find our centre and our voice through words spoken and sung, enriched by embodied practices like Somatic Dance and 5Rhythms. Be witness to the power of coming together with an open heart — looking beyond outmoded systems to new ways of living.
Having the confidence to be in our truth, to tread new paths through wild country. We tap into the power of the gathering — turning dreams into actions, building the courage to move into new spaces, and bringing wholesale, systemic change into our lives.
