The following information was written for our 2023 festival...

Welcome to Naked In The Trees — a weekend wellness celebration of desire, communication and exploration.

Naked In The Trees is the first event of its kind in Aotearoa that embraces deeper connection and liberation through the acceptance of nudity and the introduction of play spaces. The weekend will foster a greater understanding of mental and physical wellness, and connection through verbal and physical communication — alongside a celebrated lineup of DJs.

What to expect...

Our debut year will be ambitious in its offerings yet intimate in feel.

Nothing short of captivating, there will be opportunities to play on The Bondage Tree, watch the music from a hammock, attend revelatory workshops, and even imprint your experience with a tattoo. From Shibari to comedy; the chill of an ice bath chased by the heat of the sauna; and yoga practised to liquid drum and bass.

We firmly assert that everyone reserves the right to politely decline an invitation. At no time will derogatory or shaming language be accepted. If in doubt, please exercise reservedness, ask questions and feel free to speak to an event representative.
