What is the Festival for World Peace?

Core Values (P.E.A.C.E.)
The Festival for World Peace is a holding space for a transformative journey towards inner and global harmony, uniting a diverse community in a shared vision of peace. Rooted in the rich legacy of Nimbin's commitment to world peace, we invite families and people of all ages, genders, and backgrounds to come. Through transformative movement, music, dance, and spiritual activities and community learning the festival will cultivate a space for personal growth, mindfulness, and positive change.
Together, we are on a collective journey, fostering a world where unity, compassion, and peace flourish.

Why now?

Running the Festival for World Peace now is both timely and crucial given the current global landscape. As the world faces challenges and uncertainties, there is a growing need for spaces that foster unity, connection, and inner peace. The festival serves as a timely response to this need, providing an opportunity for individuals to come together, share experiences, and collectively contribute to a more harmonious world. 

The core message is one of inclusivity, emphasising that peace begins within oneself, resonates through communities, and has the power to transcend geographical boundaries and create a ripple of peace that travels far and wide. We intend the festival to serve as a beacon of hope and inspiration, encouraging attendees to be agents of positive change in a world where balance and harmony is becoming increasingly important.

Flourish Sanctuary exists primarily to serve the people of our community. To date, we have proudly not taken any government grants or corporate money and are totally independently funded. Everybody who works on the property is an unpaid volunteer apart from our cleaner, but they do get to live on this sacred land. Black Sheep Farm and Compassion Temple are operated by volunteers of Flourish Sanctuary. Our purpose is people, not profits.

We believe this world is for everyone regardless of spiritual beliefs, gender identity, sexual orientation, ethnicity or species. ​We acknowledge the traditional custodians of the land on which we gather, the Bundjalung people, and pay our respects to their Elders past, present, and emerging. We recognise their continuing connection to land, water, and community, and we support their ongoing efforts towards self-determination and sovereignty.
