### 🌿 What We’re About – Noosa Wellbeing Experiences
💛 “I started Noosa Wellbeing Experiences to bring together people who value wellness, spirituality and personal growth — while making the most of Noosa’s beautiful natural energy.” — Stacey McCray, Social Connector & Meetup Host
Noosa is a natural home for wellness — and this group is about experiencing it together. Over the past few years of living here, I’ve embraced everything from bush walks and beach meditations to conscious dance, cacao ceremonies, sound healing, breathwork, and relaxing retreats. Along the way, I’ve met incredible local facilitators and formed friendships with others seeking balance and meaning.
Noosa Wellbeing Experiences brings together a variety of events to support a healthy, connected life — including full moon gatherings, guided meditations, conscious movement, personal development workshops, and seasonal retreats. Events take place in and around Noosa — outdoors, in beautiful spaces, and always with a warm, welcoming vibe. 🌸
Whether you’re here to de-stress, deepen your practice, or meet like-minded souls, you’ll feel right at home here. 💫 If you come across a local wellbeing event you think we’d love, please share it — we’re always open to discovering new experiences and facilitators. 🌞
Yours in wellbeing & connection,

✨ Pranafest 2026 — Where Music Meets Wellbeing in Nature 🌿
## ✨ Pranafest 2026 – A Celebration of Music, Movement & Meaning ✨
Pranafest is a weekend that brings people together through breathwork, yoga, embodiment, live music, workshops and meaningful conversations — all set in the stunning natural surrounds of Woodfordia, just 90 minutes from Noosa.
It’s a space for healing, connection and joy — where you can reset, reconnect and remember what really matters. Across three days, you’ll be immersed in experiences designed to uplift and inspire — from soulful practices and thought-provoking talks to music and movement that open the heart.
This will be Paul and my third year at Pranafest, and each one has been unforgettable. It’s like a business conference reimagined — the workshops are about wellbeing, the team-building happens on the dance floor, and the five-star hotels are swapped for camping under the stars. 🌌
## 💫 What You’ll Experience
🌬 Breathwork and meditation under the trees
🌀 Embodiment practices to reconnect and release
🎶 Live music and movement ceremonies each evening
🔥 Campfire circles and creative collaborations
🌿 Healing zones, market stalls and nourishing food
🎤 Workshops and panel discussions with incredible facilitators
💖 Real connection with real people — no filters needed
## 💫 Speakers & Facilitators
An inspiring mix of global and local voices will be part of the weekend, including Bruce H. Lipton and Zach Bush (both appearing on the big screen), along with international artists Tiki Taane and Nahko.
Closer to home, favourites include Bobby Alu, Deya Dova and Finojet. Plus some of our Pranafest favourites — Spirit Breathwork, Erin Lee, New Earth Metta and Ashley Freeman.

### Level 3 – The Art of Being (Embodiment)
