Pranafest 2026: Your ultimate wellness weekend in Queensland

29 Mar, 2026

Are you craving a weekend that feels like hitting the reset button for your mind, body, and soul?

Say hello to Pranafest 2026 – one of Australia’s best wellness festivals set among the rolling hills and open skies of Woodfordia in Queensland’s Moreton Bay region from June 5-7. This isn’t your typical festival – it’s a 3-day weekend immersion in wellness, connection, and inspiration.

Why you’ll love Pranafest

Pranafest isn’t about just showing up and watching. It’s about being there – the chance to slow down, breathe deeply, and be present – with yourself, with others, and with nature.

As organiser Dom Fusca says: “Pranafest is about creating a space where people can reconnect – not just with practices that support wellbeing, but with themselves and with community.”

Think weekend retreat meets festival vibes – there’s conscious dance, mindful movement, group meditation, inspiring talks and so many little moments where you find yourself smiling at a stranger, sharing a laugh, or simply soaking in the peaceful energy of the festival.

It’s the kind of environment where friendships can spark, ideas can bloom, and you can just be yourself – and it’s family friendly, too!

Meet the experts and thought leaders

This year’s lineup is next level. You’ll get insights from globally renowned thinkers Bruce Lipton and Zach Bush via live stream - perfect for anyone curious about science, consciousness, and human potential.

Local stars like Ashley Freeman, Tyler Tolman, and Erin Lee will guide workshops that leave you energised, inspired, and ready to take new wellness habits home.

Breathe, move, and groove to the music

Never tried breathwork? Now’s your chance. Imagine taking a deep dive into your own inner world, letting go of stress, tension, and the mental clutter that weighs you down.

Sessions with New Earth Metta and Spirit Breathwork are deeply grounding, energising, and often transformative. Pair this with yoga flows, conscious dance, and guided meditation for a weekend that revives your mind and body.

Oh, and the music at Pranafest is more than entertainment - it’s medicine for the soul. Expect everything from soulful grooves to high-energy beats:

Tiki Taane, NOËP, Nahko (international acts)
Bobby Alu, Deya Dova, Raw Ordio (Australian favourites)

Whether you’re dancing barefoot on the grass or lying back under the sky soaking it all in, the soundscape carries you through the weekend.

The perfect location

Woodfordia’s open hills, green fields, and vast skies make it the ideal backdrop for Pranafest. It’s the kind of place where you can stretch out, meditate, or just soak in the scenery between sessions.

If you want the full festival experience, camping onsite is highly recommended. From powered and unpowered sites for tents or campervans to glamping-style options for a little extra comfort, there’s something for every traveller. Imagine waking up surrounded by nature, grabbing your morning coffee, and strolling to a sunrise yoga session - all without leaving the festival grounds.

Nearby Moreton Bay towns also offer charming stays, but nothing beats falling asleep under the stars and hearing the distant sounds of the festival carry through the hills.

Getting there: Woodfordia is a scenic drive 90min drive from Brisbane or 1 hour from the Sunshine Coast; consider carpooling or joining the Pranafest rideshare group.
