Festival Principles
We're proud to say this festival truly is a safe place for you to flourish!
You Belong Here
You are an integral part of this festival.
Know that you are fundamentally welcomed and celebrated for being a part of this beautiful gathering. We have various workshops and opportunities for you to quite literally become part of the festival. We trust and love the magnificence that exists with you.
Deep Presence
The grass is always greenest here and now.
The deeper more present we can become to this very special moment in time, the more we can inspire one another to find calming, presence amongst ourselves. We do our best to lovingly craft enriching environments for you to meditate, find silence, sing, dance and dive into the infinite bliss of deep and meaningful connection.
Feels Like Home
The festival is designed to make you feel like you're at home, except mum and dad are out for the weekend and you're with all your mates.
This is your safe place to completely be yourself, surrounded in people you love and care for and who care for you. You will be nourished in the delicious home-made meals we prepare for you for breakfast, lunch and dinner along with the spaces we've designed to make you feel like the venue is yours!
The Spaces In-between
Stay curious & expect the unexpected ;)
Some of the best moments in our lives and this festival come from unexpected places, those random chance conversations on your way to the main stage, the moment you climbed a tree and kissed your friend for the first time. Each and every step is a gift, full of wonder and potential. We have designed the festival to encourage you to explore the spaces in-between.
Personal Expansion
Life begins at the edge of your comfort zone
This is your chance to be in a deeply supportive, loving and accepting community of high-vibe tribe. We've created the right conditions for you to dare to explore more of your own potential as a contributing member of this world. We encourage you to step outside of your comfort zone as a way to find more liberation, authenticity and connection.
Make it Rain Gifts of Kindness
This festival is your safe place to experiment with sharing your gifts and radical expressions of kindness with the world.
Bring your hula hoops, giant bubbles, face paints, food to share, practice your poetry, dare to express a dance routine, create a spontaneous beatbox jam with some new friends. You are encouraged to share your gifts & be kind with the festival.
Naturally High AF!
This festival is wild & completely substance free
We're excited to create euphoric, heart opening experiences of play, connection and lushness that will have you bouncing off the walls with innate joy. Let's see how truely liberated, connected and full of love we can get without the need for substances to get us there.
Joyful ROFLS
Don't take life too seriously, you'll never get out alive
Laughter is one of life's best medicine, so we do our best to ensure that the experience of BLISS is full of authentic deep bellied laughter! We do this with joyful MC's, laughter yoga workshops, hilarious stage performances and and overall attitude of JOY in everything we do.
Your Blissful Venue
Situated in the heart of the south-west The Berry Delightful is a unique garden style venue steeped in character and natural beauty. The festival ground is literally popping with leaves and is soft enough to walk barefoot. The lake is a fresh water lake where we'll setup a Bliss DJ for ultimate chill vibes.
Line-up
Workshop Facilitators, DJ's & Performers.
Tribal Vocal Expression
Bhavani is passionate about inspiring and assisting others to discover and connect with their authentic vocal expression through song, sound & meditation.
"It is belief that we have been gifted these amazing instruments to communicate authentically, to heal through vocal expression, connect deeply with ourselves and come together as tribes have always done - to lift our vibration and sing our hearts song. It is an honour and a joy for me to hold space for this discovery and expansion to take place for others. Sing! Sound! Express! Remember who you are."
Acoustic Freestyle
Hailing from Minang Noongar Boodja (Albany) and now based in Whadjuk (Perth) country, Echo Shadow gently weaves a tapestry of acoustic and electronic rhythms to create a fresh sound inspired by deep connection to the ancient heartbeat of this land.
