### 🌿 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 🌿
## ✨ A Celebration of Music, Movement & Meaning ✨
Connection • Creativity • Community • Culture • Collaboration
Pranafest is a weekend that brings people together for breathwork, yoga, embodiment practices, live music, workshops, and panel discussions — all set in the stunning natural surrounds of Woodfordia, jus 90 mins 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 inspire, uplift, and transform — from soulful practices and thought-provoking talks to powerful 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 — only the workshops are about wellness, the team-building happens on the dance floor, and the five-star hotels are swapped for camping under the stars. 🌌

“Where am I not living what I say I know?”***

Outcome: Participants begin to live differently, not just think differently.***
### Level 3 – The Art of Being (Embodiment)
