Dragon Dreaming Festival celebrates art, music, nature, and the freedom of self-expression in a safe, family friendly gathering not far from Canberra, Australia. Our philosophy is one of nurturing Australia's alternate culture and we strongly encourage participation by all who attend. We believe that some of the best music, art and ideas in the world are found right here in our backyard. Since 2008 we have been working hard to encourage the creative side of our friends, neighbours and the whole community by providing an avenue for everyone to exhibit their art, music or performance offerings in a professionally managed environment, with the opportunity of reaching a wide and varied audience. We are proud to support the local economy and always use locally made products and services wherever possible, engaging in sustainable practices with care for our environment being a number one priority. We endeavour to develop the professional skills and knowledge of everyone involved, from decor creation to sound management and look forward to working with the Dragon Family old and new each and every year. Apart from providing a sense of achievement and learning something new, we feel that in this way participants are given greater opportunities to contribute back to their community in the future. Dragon Dreaming Festival runs four stages in alignment with the four elements every year: Fire, Air, Water and Earth. These four core elements make up the building blocks of life itself and have been honoured throughout the ages across the globe, with the fifth element that of spirit and love being held within the hearts of each and every person. As each stage embodies the elemental reflection, we are reminded of how that aspect works within our lives and what they have to teach us about ourselves and our journey to greater happiness and fulfillment. Air - Main Stage Air carries away your troubles, blows away strife, and carries positive thoughts to those who are far away. 2014 brings the Air element to the forefront, giving us an opportunity to explore communication, wisdom and the powers of the mind. We aspire and inspire and as we understand our journey, our thoughts and dreams move into alignment, informing our actions and communications. This year will see Air stage take flight on Saturday at sundown with the opening ceremony so be sure to join us as we all take flight together. Water - 2nd Stage Water is a great necessity, without it nothing can live. Water is a cleansing, healing, psychic and loving element, manifesting in our emotional bodies: we can be driven forward in our lives by great loves and receive the greatest lessons of our lives through great pain. It is our impetus towards joy or sorrow. As we journey through the element of water we test our desire and resources to manifest our dreams. Join us in the water element and let the sounds wash over you and soothe your soul. Earth - Lifestyle Village Our planet itself is a sphere of life, and we can watch all the aspects of life take place in the Earth: birth, life, death, and finally rebirth. The Earth is nurturing and stable, solid and firm, full of endurance and strength. Sustainable practices come into play as we journey here, ensuring our dream has ground to continue to be nurtured into full blissful and meaningful fruition. The Lifestyle Village, through the element of Earth, will do just that: be the grounding force that helps you nurture and grow. Fire Stage Fire is a purifying energy and connected to strong will and energy. Fire is the element of endings and beginnings, fueling our passions, warming our journey and shedding light in the dark places. It allows us to let go of all that is no longer needed within our lives, and as we do so we allow space for new energy to enter and inspire for future growth. Here you will be able to lounge comfortably in a large marquee, surrounded by cushions and couches, whilst enjoying everything from live bands to chill electronica to regenerate your energy.
