How to find the Prana Festival Venue

See: How to Find Us

In contrast to some festivals, dominated with young revellers over the New Year period, Prana caters to the more ‘alternative’ individuals who are seeking spiritual sustenance to enhance their enjoyment of celebration together. Prana Retreat remains one of the few locations in New Zealand where festival participants celebrate this special event in a natural way. Extensive planning goes into the choice of entertainment and workshops offered at Prana New Year Festival. Organisers attribute the safe, friendly reputation and atmosphere to the selectively invited audience.
