Here is a little more about the festival. 

Rainbow Serpent Festival has come a long way over the years. From a small gathering in a secluded clearing, to an internationally recongnised, multifaceted weekend of dance, colour, expression and celebration. People now travel from all over the world to Western Victoria to experience what some have said is the best outdoor festival of it’s type in the Southern Hemisphere.

For many of the 10,000 plus people that attend each year, Rainbow has become an institution, and annual reunion, a marker in the year that’s looked forward to for months in advance. For others it’s a fresh discovery of opportunity and escapism, a chance to connect with like minded individuals and to celebrate nature, community and harmony. Perhaps the continued success of Rainbow can be accredited to the broad experiences and opportunities on offer.

No longer just an electronic music festival these days you can expect to experience a unique combination of music, art, performance, spiritual education, relaxation and healing. “While dancing their Dreamings, aborigines spiritually connect themselves to the land and to the Dreamtime. The drumming of feet during the dance draws the earth into dialogue with the dancers, allowing the ceremony to bring the power of the Dreaming to life.” The name Rainbow Serpent is distinctly Australian, coming from the Dreamtime creation story told by the traditional owners of the land. Dreamtime stories often vary between aboriginal tribes, however the story of the Rainbow Serpent is special as it is one of the few common to all. The Rainbow Serpent is protector of the land, and the source of all life.

Music has always been a highlight of Rainbow. From the early trance days to the broader musical style of today, one thing Rainbow has never compromised on is the quality of it’s acts. With world class décor, roving artistic performances, crazy activities you cant imagine a more exotic sensory mix spread over four days.

Having juiced almost daily for the last 35 years, I know the benefits of drinking fresh pressed juice.  I love it so much that I now hire out mobile juice bars and provide healthy catering at festivals in the UK and Australia. Juicing is great because it has been proven that drinking juices regularly greatly improves your general health and well-being.  Juice can aid restoration, rejuvenation and detoxification and, better still, there is no evidence to suggest you can drink too much juice!

There are many health benefits to juicing and by incorporating fresh pressed juices into your daily regime it can help relieve stress by flooding your body with nutrient dense fruit and vegetables. Your body will be running on fuel that it can use immediately rather than running on borrowed energy from caffeine or sugar.

Juicing & Energy – The Best Benefit Of All

Invigorate your cells, stimulate your senses, and tickle your taste buds with a fresh pressed juice.

Why not kick-start each day with a taste sensation that’ll invigorate, uplift and rejuvenate.  With on-the-move lifestyles and chaotic schedules, it’s difficult to take time out for a meal that provides sufficient energy and nutrients to sustain a balanced and healthy way of life. Quick refreshments such as fresh pressed juice are rich in vital nutrients designed to boost energy.

Fresh Pressed Juice is it.    If it’s a tangy wake –up call, a smooth pacifier or a zesty jump start, a personalised fresh juice will do the trick. From refreshing ruby grapefruit & tangy lime concoctions to subdued strawberry smoothies & passion fruit quenchers. Customise your daily juice and satisfy those taste buds!

Immune System Benefits

Fresh pressed juice energizes the body and helps cleanse the body of toxins. Fresh pressed juice builds up the immune system and can slow the aging process. Vegetable and leafy green based juices provide unbeatable nutrition. When making fresh pressed juice at home no list of ingredients is required. Juice is easy to drink and it tastes great.

Juicing fruit and vegetables provides a fast way to absorb nutrients, leaving energy reserves for deeper cleansing, repairing and healing cells. Fresh pressed juice contains specific vitamins and minerals that are natural and easy to absorb. Fresh pressed juices also contain phytochemicals – a substance linked to good health and is only found in plants, fruits and vegetables. They are a good source of non-meat Protein especially smoothies with seeds, wheat germ or whole grains.

While providing healthy catering at festivals, people often ask about the health benefits of juicing. Juicing is a great way to support your immune system, improve digestion and help with losing weight.

Juicing Benefits Digestion

The body quickly absorbs juice. Juice requires less digestive work so saves your body energy and helps maintain your supply of digestive enzymes. Fresh pressed juice contains healthy sugars that are simple and unrefined. Fresh pressed juice is a complete package – natural sugars, enzymes, nutrients, vitamins.

Juicing Benefits weight loss

Juicing helps to mobilise fat and encourage fat to exit the body via the main route of elimination – the bowels. Juice is a superb detoxifier, excellent for a healthy liver and digestive tract, aids kidney function and helps kill bacteria. Drinking fresh pressed juice daily will lower blood cholesterol and stimulate fat cells. It will also sustain blood sugars, reduce cravings and boost energy.

Juicing Benefits Disease Prevention

A significant health benefit is using juicing for disease prevention. Fresh pressed juice contains enzymes, vital for health and well-being. Enzymes help us breakdown food and spark the essential chemical reactions we need to live including food digestion, stimulating the brain, cellular energy and tissue repair. Enzymes are only found in RAW food.

Juicing Benefits Detoxification

Not only does juicing provide us with that all essential, quick off the mark boost, but it supplies us with a wealth of crucial nutrients & eliminates harmful toxins. A fantastic way to Detox and feel great!

What is it that makes fresh pressed juice the answer for increased and sustainable energy levels? The secret is in its ‘living’ component. Raw fruit & veg are packed with ‘living’ enzymes that assist with digestion. If digestive enzymes are being replenished by these additional enzymes, the body will spend less energy on digestion and have more energy for repairing cells. Unfortunately, bottled and canned fresh juices don’t contain this living constituent due to the pasteurisation process. Pasteurisation kills these enzymes, this means less expendable energy.

Not only does juicing maintain this ‘living’ element, but it extracts the vital minerals and makes them easier for the body to absorb. This means the full health package: vitamins; minerals; natural sugars; and enzymes, in an easy to soak up form. Juiced fruit & veg takes a mere 15 minutes to digest, so the energy boost is almost instantaneous.

That’s energy on tap!
