Forest Healing Festival Returns in October 2026

The organisers of the Forest Healing Festival and Earth Citizens Charitable Trust Organisation are thrilled to announce that the festival will officially return October 22-25th, 2026.

Following the incredible success of the first gathering, the team behind the festival has been deeply inspired by the heartfelt feedback and support received from the community. The response from attendees confirmed what was felt throughout the weekend - that there is a growing desire for spaces centred around healing, connection, nature, creativity, and conscious community.

"I came with an open mind and left with a full heart".

"I feel that land welcomed us as home, not as guests".

With this momentum, the next chapter of the festival is already unfolding at Earth Village.

What to expect in October

Festival organisers are currently developing exciting new additions and improvements to create an even more immersive and flowing experience for 2026. Guests can expect improved camping spaces, expanded festival zones, new healing spaces, and an evolving village atmosphere designed to support deeper connection and transformation.

Who is this festival for?

The Forest Healing Festival aims to bring together healers, facilitators, artists, musicians, creators, and conscious humans from across Aotearoa and beyond to gather amongst the beauty and healing qualities of nature in celebration of collective healing and awakening. Those wanting to get involved should get in touch with the team to explore ways to be involved.

Our Vision

As Earth Village continues to grow, so too does the vision for the festival - creating a space where people can reconnect with themselves, each other, and the natural world. In doing so, we become part of the Earth Citizens movement - helping to create a sustainable and peaceful future.

Attendees are encouraged to save the date now, with tickets officially going on sale in May.

Announcements and details will be shared soon.
