Well hello there!
You’re warmly invited to join us in the land of first light to celebrate community at Summerfest 2025, this March 6-9th in Auckland, Aotearoa!
Last year, we explored the Understory - that intricate, messy arrangement where flora and fungi collaborate, each playing a critical role in forest regeneration.
This year, we're elevating our perspective to the canopy, where light spreads out, reaches wide, and connects boldly.
We're moving the fest beach-side to Camp Motu Moana (a 30-minute drive from Auckland Airport), a space that promises both playful adventure (waterslide!) and profound connection.
Like the canopy that captures the first rays of sunlight, we invite values-driven change makers from around the world to join us - to reach out and illuminate new possibilities.
We can’t wait to welcome all Enspirallers from across Aotearoa and the world to gather in our new space to enjoy three magical days and nights together.
This Summerfest will focus on building ventures and relationships to help a global network hum and grow. Ventures allow us to pay ourselves to spend time together. Relationships are the heartbeat of Enspiral.
This is a year of building and investment for Enspiral gatherings. Our fests run lean in order to keep attendance costs as low as possible.
Since 2020, costs for venues and food have risen 20-30%+, so we’ve raised our ticket prices to make sure we break even on a 45 person event.
By moving to Motu Moana, we will enjoy a venue that:
Is purpose built for hosting a larger group of wonderful people far more effectively
Makes travel for international attendees far more accessible
Has a waterslide, ample nature and beach access!
Our core commitment is to create meaningful spaces to prototype the future we want to live in. Spaces for collaboration, learning, and collective imagination.
We're balancing financial sustainability with our long-standing ethos of accessibility. This year we are offering payment plans for the first time too.
We can’t wait to co-create with you in 2025!
The Summerfest Core Crew - Meg, Jack, Steph and Nat
