About this Event
Join Sydney Conscious Community Group for our November gathering, bringing pople together to Connect, Support and Collaborate. Since October 2024 we've been blessed with beautiful community gatherings over the past 12 months and welcome you to our next gathering!
With the support of the City of Sydney Council we are able to offer a free space for the conscious community to gather on a monthly basis (usually on the 3rd Thursday) with an optional donation to cover light snacks provided, or bring a plate to share inn community spirit. We invite a special guest each time, from the community, to share their offerings in the space.
This month 's special guest is Jonathan Lee who has attended our gatherings on a regular basis and we are excited to have him share his powerful gift with us. Jonathan will be inviting us to come play in our collaborative thought experiment where we will collectively imagine (and illustrate) the world we wish to live in. Through guided teamwork, you’ll bring words, ideas, and visions to life on paper, discovering how shared imagination can make utopia feel more than you currently believe. Best of all, you’ll be inspired by what others envision too.
At last month's special 1 year anniversary celebration, we said goodbye to co-creators of this community group, Joe Figliano & Kat Cowling who will be moving to greener pastures and hope to make an appearance at future gatherings.
Last month we also said hello to a new conscious community hub in Sydney, the beautiful FlourMill Space in Newtown.
And we asked the question, do people still want these community gatherings to continue? And the answer was a clear YES!
Taking an opportunity to thank everyone who has contributed to the evolution and growth of these gatherings and for the interest in their continuation.

Meet your Hosts:
Joe Figliano & Kat Cowling
Joe & Kat, the visionary co-creators of Lovefest, have cultivated thriving conscious communities across six regions of East Coast Australia, with recent growth in Bali and future plans in New Zealand. Since Lovefest’s beginnings in Sydney in 2019, they have been deeply committed to bringing people together through intentional, heart-centred gatherings. In 2021, their Newtown HQ hosted daily conscious events for six months, providing a powerful example of how community-led spaces can foster connection. Inspired by this, their vision now extends to creating a permanent Conscious Hub in Sydney— a space run by the community for the community, serving as both a home for Lovefest and a broader sanctuary for conscious collaboration. They envision support from investors, philanthropists, sponsors, and grants to bring this dream into reality.
