Live.Love.Life is going to take over the streets of Daylesford in November from 14th to 18th. It will be a five-day feast of
wellness therapies, music, art and regional food and wine.
Are you aching to feel alive again? This festival originally started with the ordinary label of a wellness festival and has since turned into a sensory feast with the sole intention of Live.Love.Life. If you are in a rut, this festival will help you!
The programme for Live.Love.Life. is based on the theory that you can not explain what makes people feel alive; this is an individual thing for each person. The festival will showcase artists, performers and authors and provide workshops and sensory experiences quite unlike any other.
The creative directors, David Bromley and Kate Ceberano, have invented a program to help you find your own
quickening with life again.
This is a really huge festival with so much going on - it is one event that you should book for. The events are too numerous to list in one article and you can see the full program at the
