Story

Unite Festival has just completed their 4th festival and plans for 2017 Festival is already underway for JAN 11,12 pre camp 13,14,15 MAIN event 16,17 after camp
The first two gatherings were focused on current environmental and material issues, which resulted in a theatre production ECHO 100 + people performed to audiences of 700 people, acupunctering their souls #STOPSTATOIL and gold/silver mining here in Northland. Need vs Greed, detachment from Nature. The Whekau made an appearance after being extinct for 100 years and a message in a bottle was found, with a clear message
Have a deep respect for the source of life and also for the ocean, for the forest, for the stars and for the truth.

Papatuanuku Soul-utions grew out of Echo with the NEED for positivity in a other wise depressing situation
Barbara Belger and Marty Robinson took on organising an art exhibition alongside Echo production. This was to also inspire and provide insight into the many incredible solutions that are created in the World today

The 2015 UNITE and 2016 focused on the future, 100 years from now, what is it that we are creating? What will life be like?
So what is it that we want from a creative gathering? Upskilling workshops in survival, sustainability, connecting to nature, healing arts, singing, music, poetry in motion and more
The aim is to produce another theatre production, so far intertwining "the Forest" and the story of Pingao
The next production is seeded at the Unite festival. Bringing the artistic community together, with experienced people and also introducing to the magic of theatre to those that have never had the chance.
