New DAWN Gathering

Greetings and Salutations friends... We are super excited to announce that we are back this year with our annual one dayer - Now with a new date, new life and a new name - 'New Dawn Gathering'! Held on the first day after the Spring Equinox, this New Dawn is a celebration of community - with a huge emphasis on how we can come together to recreate an age old paradigm of self-sufficiency, collaboration, and culture. New Dawn Gathering is an all-ages, family-focused event featuring a massive fully immersive program of permaculture workshops, tree planting, yoga and wellbeing, music (both live, and electronic), and a fun-filled action packed adventure for the kids. ***This year’s event will be drug and alcohol free - an alignment with the ethics of healing at High Valley Dawn farm. Here's what to expect: • The Healing Hub - with yoga & wellbeing workshops • World class permaculture presenters & hands-on workshops • 'Wildplay' Nature School - A fully fledged supervised nature based education program for ages 5 and up. • 'Nature Love Family' - A nature based play service for kids under 5 (Parental supervision is still required) • Bush Tucka Tree Planting on the swales - real hands on permaculture action. • Tranquil Indoor Cinema with comfy cushions and couches - A lecture style classroom during the day, kids movies at night. • Crafts Corner - A fully shaded creative zone for all ages. • 'Flow Fitness Yeppoon' - Interactive Circus Play • Ceremony & dance - including a 'Welcome to Country' in the morning, a cacao ceremony in the afternoon and fire performances at night. • Freshly brewed - Cold Juices, all day coffee and the famous - 'Jimmy Chai' • Downright deliciously decadent food - with many ingredients hand picked from the farm. • Spectacular structures, big stage sound and dreamy décor. - brought to you by 'Tranquil Sounds' & 'Propa Stage Productions' • Live bands, solo artists and intermittent DJs • and last but not least - a bunch of like-minded people to share the whole experience with.  The Dos ☀ Arrive between 8 and 9 am at the amazing High Valley Dawn permaculture farm and enjoy a coffee and light breakfast. ☀ 9am opening ceremony including welcome to country with Darumbal Elder, Wade Mann and the Wuru dancers ☀ From 10am the workshops, bush schools and activities will begin. There will be a mixture of 1hr start-to-finish type workshops, as well as the all-day dip-in-and-out-as-you-like kind. ☀ Treat yourself to a tour of this fully-operational permaculture farm. It is seriously impressive and inspiring. ☀ Drink a cup of freshly-brewed 'Jimmy chai' tea or partake in the cacao ceremony and join in for an ecstatic dance session. ☀ Dance the night away (or until midnight anyway)  The Do NOTs ❅ Drugs and Alcohol - we don’t need all that to have a great time. We want to emphasise that this is more than a party. It’s about the workshops, the connections, and the general wholesomeness of life. There will be NO bar in operation this year. ❅ Strictly NO-BYO alcohol - There will however, be onsite hot and cold beverages for sale, or you can BYO non-alcoholic beverages. ❅ Dogs (All pets actually) - I know, I know... your dog is different - is the most well-behaved dog ever - and doesn’t even poop, like why can't you bring them... the bottom line is, a) this is a working farm, with working animals and b) our insurance doesn’t cover the event if there are dogs, believe it or not. ❅ Glass - This is a NO-BYO event so i can't see why you would be bringing any kind of disposable glass anyway, however, it is still a firm no! Broken glass and bare-footed gardeners don’t mix. ❅ Camping - this event does not offer onsite camping - Please come prepared that you will have to leave the premises after closing time. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ WHERE: High Valley Dawn, Permaculture Farm WHEN: 24/09/22, 8am - midnight.
