Passion Tasting Festival

The Passion Tasting Festival sends us on a treasure hunt of passions. The festival site has many areas for us to explore and experience:

Passion Tasting Area

The Passion Tasting area gives us the opportunities to discover new or forgotten passions, by indulging in and being inspired by those living a life they love. It has a variety of marquees for people participating in our interactive and content rich Passion Tasting – Workshops, Presentations and Talks. Passion Tasting Workshops shall run for approximately two hours and Presentations and Talks approximately one hour. At the end of the Workshops, Presentations and Talks we will have the opportunity to interact with the facilitators and presenters which enables us to follow through on what we have discovered and experienced.

Passion Energy Area

Discover your true nature and purpose or a passion covered up long ago with our intuitive readers. Be treated to the powers and flowing energy of our amazing energy workers and healers. The Passion Energy Area is where we can all rejuvenate and revitalise in an atmosphere of relaxation and passionate energy.

Passion Performance Area

In the passion performance area sit back and absorb the atmosphere of exciting and passionate performances   and music during the day, and soul stirring music concerts on the Friday and Saturday nights. This auditorium is the perfect place to discover and share in the passions of our Speakers, Performance Artists, Passion Stall Holder talks and Troubadours. It is here, we shall be captivated and entertained by listening to the experiences and wisdom of Guest Speakers, delighted by the wide variety of performance acts, enchanted by the music of our troubadours and stirred by the night concerts.

Passion Art Gallery

In the Passion Gallery we can chill and bask in the creative energy produced by the works of the participating artists. We can experience and appreciates their passion in a tasting workshop and then view their amazing works in the Passion Gallery. Additionally if we feel drawn to a particular work and resonate with its energy we can express our appreciation and purchase it to take home after the festival for timeless enjoyment.

Passion Craft Market

The Passion Market is where we peruse the passion stalls, and excite our sensors with the individuality of owner made/designed products and services. We can share and experience  the passion of the Stall Holders and express our appreciation of their unique talents, and reward ourselves with those items that inspire and delight us.

Passion Gourmet Area

Sample and taste a selection of food and drink that will feed your soul and fill your stomach. The Passion Gourmet Area is where our taste-buds will be tantalised while giving us the sustenance and energy to carry on our journey and passion treasure hunt at the festival. We can sit back and enjoy the sights and sounds of the festival while sipping our favorite beverage.

Making the Impossible Possible

 

What is a Passion?

Eckhart Tolle says ”The modalities of awakened doing are acceptance, enjoyment, and enthusiasm” - “You need to be vigilant to make sure that one of them operates whenever you are engaged in doing anything at all ...”. We feel that when you are doing something with enthusiasm, you are doing it passionately, or with passion, and engaging your true creative nature. From personal experience we have found that when we are in our passion, and doing what we love, life expands and becomes all about what we would love to do and take action on, and not about the fears, conditions and limitations it was before in just doing what we thought we had to do. So passion for us is in doing and taking action towards what we love to do. Things that stimulate our imagination and get our creative juices flowing and manifest the synchronicities and coincidences in our life. The only difference between someone living a passionate life and one who isn’t, is that the passionate one asked “what is it I love to do”  then took action towards it and engaged their true creative nature.

So our questions to you are, what are your passions and what are you going to get passionate about?

What is a Passion Tasting Festival?

The Passion Tasting Festival is much like “wine tasting” except for passions. When we go to a food and wine tasting show, we are expecting to discover and experience the delights in what they have to offer in relation to food and wine, and to share that experience with others who have the same desire. Well this festival is like that . It gives us the opportunity to explore and discover passions we didn’t know we had, and indulge our imagination and senses in the passions of others in a variety of areas such as business, art, music, dance, crafts, intuition and self development, in all types of forms, from interactive workshops to presentations and talks, demonstrations, performances, shows, market stalls and concerts. This festival offers a smorgasbord of opportunities in which we can actively experience, share and get passionate about.

Why A Festival?

We decided to create this as a festival because that allows a celebration, and provides an atmosphere of fun, creativity and PASSION. It opens our soul and imagination to exploring new opportunities and discovering lost ones. It speaks to the child in all of us, by taking us out of a routine of doing the same thing, and places us in a new world of adventure and discovery.

“The truth is that existence wants your life to become a festival...because when you are unhappy, you also throw unhappiness all around.”

-    Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh

Why is This Festival Different?

This festival’s focus is on providing us with the opportunity to indulge in the tasting of a wide and diverse variety of passions. It has been created to allow us all to taste many content rich workshops, presentations, talks and more in the festival atmosphere. The emphasis here is on the tasting. How many workshops, talks, presentations, training's and classes, have we attended and invested in only to be disappointed because it wasn’t our Passion. This festival gives us the opportunity to taste and sample many experiences and activities that others are passionate about, all in one venue over a 2.5 day period. This allows us then to decide what it is we are passionate about and worth pursuing. How many times have we said I would love to try that, and then submitted to time and financial limitations. Imagine having the opportunity to taste many different passions, be inspired and entertained by those who are living their passions through presentations, performance, music and art, peruse the passion market for those hand made treasures, find health and healing alternatives through a diverse range of energy workers, healers and intuitive readers, all over one weekend at a very affordable price. That’s why we feel this festival is different and are passionate about its Mission.
