Lost Paradise Festival Unveils Wellness Program, Shambhala Fields

Australian summer festival favourite Lost Paradise has announced a different kind of lineup. Organisers of the Central Coast event have just unveiled an extensive health and wellness program for this year’s New Year’s bash, dubbed Shambhala Fields.

It lines up a range of health, wellness and music-based workshops, talks, First Nations spaces and more, featuring some big names including triple j science guru Dr Karl, master yogi Simon Borg-Olivier, classically-trained dancer, model and social media star Mimi Elashiry, Byron Hinterlands/Bundjalung region-based artist and radio host Luen, and many more.

Described as an “oasis for boundary-pushing thinkers where curiosity is key”, the Shambhala Fields program will be packed with yoga classes, belly dancing workshops, deep tissue massages and various other mind, body and soul-nourishing activities, in keeping with the festival’s proud reputation as a place for exchanging future-facing ideas.

There will be a cultural program completely orchestrated by First Nation Australians from Darkinjung country, as well as essential growth offering, Healing Haven, which will offer tarot card readings, acupuncture and loads more.

This is all, of course, in addition to the Lost Paradise music lineup, which shares many artists in common with the 2022-23 Falls Festival, including headliners Arctic Monkeys, Lil Nas X, Peggy Gou and Jamie xx. There are plenty of local names too, such as G Flip, Ocean Alley and Genesis Owusu, and an enormous roster of DJs.

Lost Paradise runs from Thursday, 28^th December, 2022 – Sunday, 1^st January, 2023 at Glenworth Valley on the NSW Central Coast. This year will mark the beloved event’s return after a long absence, after bushfires caused the last minute cancellation of its 2019 event and COVID disrupted the following two years of fun.
