WELCOME TO THE AUM HEALING GLADE
Each summer we host a range of health and educational offerings. Community is at the heart of AUM Festival. It is found in the connections people make – sharing a dance floor, taking part in workshops, or classes in the Healing Glade.
Our workshop and class schedule is comprehensive, ranging from daily yoga under the open sky, invigorating breathwork classes, self-massage, relaxing breathwork sessions and more.
What could be better than spending three days + nights surrounded by friendly faces, positive vibes and starting 2025 year feeling fresh?
ABOUT OUR COMMUNITY
AUM is a community showcase of music, performance, health workshops, circus workshops, live art, craft zones, children’s activities and more.
We are sustainable, original, friendly and safe. We welcome people of all ages to gather and celebrate new years. We’re proudly NZ owned and this summer will be our 10th new year’s festival at South Head by the Kaipara Harbour – an hour north of central Auckland.
AUM supports local business, is set in a stunning location inhabited with wild deer, and has been leaders in festival sustainability and waste minimisation since inception.
We are also known as one of the friendliest and most relaxed festivals around. There’s a reason why AUM was named “top New Years eve event in New Zealand“ by the Backpacker Guide NZ and has such a large international guest contingent each year.

What people say about AUM
“Awesome experience: the camping, art, stages, workshops and shops. The music was amazing and full of great people. This was my first time, I’ll be back again!” (Lisa, via Facebook)
“Went last year for the first time and bought tickets for this year as soon as we were able. It was an absolutely magical experience for my family. Such a safe and welcoming environment to introduce our teenage daughters to the world of festivals.” (Kathryn, via Facebook)
“This was one of my absolute favorite festivals during my time living in NZ. I’m so happy to have been introduced to this amazing community through my partner who has been attending AUM since its debut year. It was full of great workshops and interactive activities. I can’t wait to attend again in the future.” (Stephanie, Google Review)
“I love what these guys do. They make it all about the happy people, family and inclusive vibes, non commercial, hot showers, zero waste policy, so much art everywhere, immersion and in nature. 3 days for camping, chilled days watching circus arts and partaking in yoga, barefeet wandering, costumes, dancing and getting away from city life.” (Shaki, Google Review)
