We encourage earth-based sustainability, activism and practical ‘how-to’ workshops at the 2025 festival.
By default, workshop facilitators receive one free entry and one free vehicle pass. Once your application is accepted, you will be contacted by our workshops team to discuss further details and confirm your place at Earth Beat.
Note that we have decreased our total number of workshop offerings for 2025 in order to create more space during the festival for community & connection.
Please take the time to read and complete the application form below.
Earth Beat is not like any other festival. It is vital for those who apply to be familiar with our Kaupapa (purpose), the reason ‘why’ our festival exists, and our Festival Principles and Code Of Ethics. You can read more about Earth Beat and our Kaupapa here. Here are links to Festival Principles and Code Of Ethics
