Lovefest Values and Principles

Our values

LOVE FOR SELF with awareness. Deserving of Love - giving and receiving in flow with gratitude practices.

LOVE FOR PLANET with respect. We are creating by being at service to the earth and the universe. We fulfil our highest value in joy and harmony and trust that we will be provided all that is needed.

Our Principles

The purpose of the following principles is so we all have the ability to make effective choices for the community. This happens when we have a shared understanding of the principles; and we all embody the principles based on our common values.

1. Inner Journey. We explore our inner journey by being committed to our own personal development. We do this by adopting a growth mindset through practicing self-inquiry, developing self-awareness and continually evolving physically, mentally, emotionally, spiritually.

We connect with our breath, we allow ourselves to feel our emotions, be mindful of our thoughts, and aware of our  environment through all of our senses. 

2. Compassionate Communication begins with being fully present and listening with an open heart and open mind. We take responsibility for our own feelings and actions.  We reflect first and then express ourselves authentically and with compassion.

Non-Violent Communication practices are encouraged to communicate needs and emotions in a way that can bring about a deeper more loving connection.

3. Being of Service to self, humanity, and nature. Through contribution and growth we give to others and nature beyond ourselves. 

4. Humility: Knowing that each person is just as important as another. We honour diversity and that everyone is unique and gifted in their own way. “I am because we are” We practice that by honouring our highest values, fulfilling our purpose and therefore experiencing joy. 

5. Harmony. We actively seek opportunities to be in harmony with self, others, and nature. We make choices to be free from substances that impair our cognition so we may be completely present with ourselves and others.

6. Building Community.Through healthy relationships and welcoming diversity we come together to create, to learn, to share, to play in a way that contributes to a healthy community. 

We build community through working on projects together centred in Love. Such as land projects, community projects, events, gatherings, festivals, healing retreats and educational workshops. 

7. Connection to Land. We are humbled by the land that we stand on. Showing respect to the earth and being grateful to nature. We reconnect through learning and striving to utilise indigenous wisdom in our principles.

8. Celebration. We recognise our effective choices that have enabled us to embody life. Breathing itself is a miracle.

We raise the level of vibration of all aspects of our lives and our surroundings by celebrating just being alive.
