These images from Lovefest Bellingen 2025 were captured by Karl from Down To Earth Media — conscious event photographer and videographer based in the Northern Rivers, Byron Bay.
Lovefest Bellingen is one of the most sacred and beloved gatherings in the Northern Rivers conscious community, held on Gumbaynggirr land in the stunning Thora Valley near Bellingen, NSW.
“Come Home to Self. Come Home to the Village. Come Home to Earth.”
Lovefest Bellingen is more than just a festival—it’s a homecoming. A call to gather, connect, and remember who we are when we return to the Village. It’s a return to what truly matters: a living Village of healing, belonging, and celebration, where music, nature, and community come together in harmony.
A chance to reconnect with nature and each other. The land itself is a natural atrium, alive with the whispers of nature spirits—a true paradise. This special weekend is an invitation to live differently, to shift the story from separation to togetherness, and to embrace a pathway back to culture, back to the land, and back to the heart.
It’s a space designed for true connection, where we accept each other for who we are and who we want to be. As we celebrate together, we create a ripple of love and peace that spreads beyond the weekend, fostering healing, community, and belonging.
Come as you are, and leave more connected—to yourself, your people, and the Earth.
