LAMMAS
(DEEP SUMMER)
CONNECTION
FESTIVAL
🔥FEB 1st & 2nd🌾
Join us for a vibrant celebration of deep summer, community connection, self-expression, and freedom!
Across the first weekend of February, we’ll come together to explore two unique but seamlessly flowing connection ceremonies designed to help you feel alive and aligned whilst providing a dedicated space for rich community connection.
☀️ Lammas, an ancient celebration that marks the start of the harvest season, is a time to honour the fruits of our labour, celebrate abundance, and reflect on growth as we move into deep summer. It’s a moment to pause, express gratitude, and embrace the creative, joyful energy of the summer season.
We’ll explore movement, music, stillness, play, shared food, and plenty of good conversations to help you deepen your connection with yourself and immerse yourself in our beautiful growing community.
Each day will be held in different locations to capture the best of Auckland's offerings.
This space is carefully designed to unite curious hearts and open minds in meaningful and magical ways.
Whether you’re here to celebrate the season, reflect on something personal, or create new connections, these gatherings promise to fill your heart with love and inspiration.
Lammas is one of the eight ancient seasonal celebrations that make up ‘The Wheel of the Year’ and guide our 2025 connection ceremony calendar - click the link to read more!
Spaces are limited for each event so book your spot today!
