TALK: breaking through the veil & spiritual sovereignty

Breaking through the veil and spiritual sovereignty may be separate spiritual endeavours, but they are two of the most important goals of our time. They go hand-in-hand, and both take spiritual grit, determination and cultivated discernment in order to achieve them.

Kali and Caroline have been subject to eerily similar trials and tribulations on their rocky path to disillusionment and self knowledge (gnosis).

Colin Wyatt is an intuitive energy healer, empowerment speaker, and transformational coach with over 20 years of experience. He also holds cacao ceremonies and immersive 432Hz sound baths. Known for his dynamic, no-lecture style, he uses humour, storytelling, and energetic insight to help people release emotional and mental blocks. As a Level 3 Advanced EFT Practitioner, he’s worked with clients and groups worldwide, guiding them toward lasting, positive change.

This intimate cacao ceremony is a powerful foray into connection and presence. Used traditionally as a plant medicine for emotional healing and connection, cacao aids inner reflection through its natural ability to release dopamine, endorphins, and anandamide (the body’s own “bliss molecule”). With ethically sourced ceremonial-grade cacao from the Ashaninka tribes of Peru, Colin creates a sacred space with music and intention come together to open the heart and calm the mind. Following intention setting and sage cleansing, you’ll be guided into a quiet meditative state, supported by the resonance of 99.99% pure quartz crystal singing bowls tuned to 432Hz. Please note: not to be combined with SSRI medication.

Spiritual Free-For-All: A No-Holds-Barred Debate

Hosted by Caroline Knight (kinda magic events) & Kali Spell (Dark Matters network)

Head to our Marquee Lounge, pull up a cushion, grab a drink, and step into the fire; this is a spiritual discussion space where no question is off-limits and no perspective too bold. In this open-format debate, we’ll dive into the deeper, messier, and often unspoken sides of spirituality. What might we talk about?

Spiritual bypassing? The saturation of guru complex? Is karma real? What does the word spiritual even mean? Who are all those gatekeepers anyway? Matrix or God’s playground? Right wing, left wing or just the same deranged bird? Where to draw the line between healing and hustle? Are you God or should you pray to him? Is Lucifer the same as Satan? Plant medicines: sacred guide, or playing with existential fire? We could go on… but the list is yours too.

Bring your burning questions and prepare to air some spiritual laundry. Otherwise, just come and listen in. This is all about honest dialogue, critical thinking, and shared connection - no dogma in sight. A bit of passion, a smidgen of healthy disagreement? No problem… and who knows - maybe even a few breakthroughs.

Full Moon Grandfather Fire Ceremony: A Sacred Gathering Beneath the Stars

Chris Nicolson - Shamanic Practitioner

At our festival fire pit, step into the warmth of an ancient tradition that has united hearts for over 1,000 years: the Grandfather Fire Ceremony, under the full moon on this occasion.

As night falls, we gather around the sacred flame to honour Grandfather Fire: the wise and powerful elder who listens, teaches, and holds our stories. This ceremony, held by Shamanic Practitioner Chris Nicolson, also honours a return to what is truly important: connection, meaning, and community. Come as you are, be welcomed into the circle and participate in the ceremony, where the fire speaks and we remember who we truly are.

Buskers’ Corner at the Firepit: Music, Words and Solidarity

At various times over the weekend, the festival’s fire pit morphs into to Buskers’ Corner, an open, welcoming space for spontaneous performance, heartfelt expression, and musical vibes to share with the crowd. This is an informal affair where anyone can take their turns to sing, play, speak, drum, or share something from the heart - whatever feels good. You may be a seasoned busker, first-time performer, poet, musician or storyteller; it doesn’t matter. Whatever your story, you are welcome here.

All performances at this community spot are offered in the spirit of generosity and connection, with any donations for your busking going towards humanitarian aid for Palestine. Come to perform, come to listen - just come. Show up when the moment feels right and do your thing to give a little back to those in need.

Instrumental Storytelling, Brazilian style

Adrian Wiggins - Big Beat

Join Adrian Wiggins for an hour of Brazilian rhythm and participatory storytelling at the festival fire pit. During Adrian’s musical tales designed for adults, the audience becomes part of the story.

You will use a combination of percussion instruments, such as pandeiros (a type of hand frame drum) and samba drums, along with your voice to build a soundscape as a backdrop to Adrian’s tall tales. No musical or singing skills are needed - it’s just a bit of lighthearted fun. All you need is a little curiosity, so come and enjoy the rhythm and imagination, Brazilian style.
