Guess who is hosting a stage at Sacrededge festival this year! That’s right! It’s us– how did you guess?

If you haven’t heard of this beautiful little community festival in Queenscliff, you should check it out!
It’s like one big Simba Sessions. There will be music, poetry, workshops, creativity, keynote speakers, games for kids Young and old and times for reflection.

It’s like a deep breath out that lasts all weekend.
It’s like a hug from Wills that often just gives you a punch in the face instead.
It’s like what community should be like. Open, loving, inclusive, nurturing and inspiring.

Parts arts festival, part creative retreat, Sacrededge Festival is a place that celebrates diversity and seeks to give voice to those cultures and subcultures at the edges of society. This beautiful festival supports and promotes LGBTQ AI plus voices, first nations voices, refugee voices, those who live with disability, promote mental health and spiritual well-being, and those who seek to help us have a more gentle footprint and loving relationship to the Earth and Ocean.

If you need a bit this in your life, come along. There’s a link to tickets.

Simba is hosting a stage with some of our favourite poets and songwriters taking part in a two parts in sessions as well as a poetry jam segment with none other than: Shyaire Ganglani, Yaru, Sarah St James/Sadie, Romaan and special guest and new comer to the Simba stage, Mietta!

Find a way to get there if you can but if not, we’ll see you for business as usual on May 8 in Kyneton.

Much love to you all in these crazy times.

We are beside ourselves to have one of our favourite Australian singer songwriters playing at Simba Sessions next Friday night on March 13!
Ainslie Wills is a phenomenal artist who has the ability to put into words things that few of us can. Her songwriting and vocals are extraordinary and every performance is a unique and special invitation to drawing in a bit deeper to what matters.

She will be playing along the side stunning harmonic duo, Oceaniquemusic and mythic storyteller Emma Chandler !

Tell all your friends to book in the babysitter and don’t miss this ridiculous lineup!
