At Nayri Niara we create Good Spirit
We are an Aboriginal owned social enterprise located on Palawa Country, Lutruwita/Tasmania.
We connect to First Nations Cultures, to Country, to Community, to the Self and to the Sacred.
We unite ancient knowledge with modern innovative practices.
We are open to all people from all cultural lineages.
We seek guidance from Elders, cultural knowledge keepers and industry experts.
We privilege the voices of First Nations people. Collaboration, connection and community are fundamental to Nayri Niara.
Embrace Radical Receiving Retreat
Join us for a 5-day Holotropic Breathwork Retreat in Ubud, Bali, 19-23 August 2025.
Our annual retreat involves cultural experiences & teachings by expert facilitators.
Together we’ll explore healing our wounds in relation to receptivity, pleasure & sensuality and learning how to ask for what we genuinely desire.

Nayri Niara Good Spirit Festival
Our festival is a 3-day gathering of knowledge, culture, music, ceremony and arts.
Nayri Niara Good Spirit Festival hosts an extraordinary range of musicians, dancers, healers and teachers sharing Earth-based living, wellbeing and healing wisdom.
A huge heartfelt thank you to all who joined us for the life-enhancing 2022 Festival.
Previously held in the cultural landscape of Lunawuni/Bruny Island in Lutruwita/Tasmania, we are now looking for a new home. Please contact us if you have a place that may be suitable.
