HONOUR FESTIVAL
Hanmer-based Yoga instructor and owner of Pulse Yoga, Olivia Reid created Honour Festival to honour mind, body, and our planet, and to empower people and provide a connection with a broader community. The inaugural festival begins on the 27th of February at Amuri Estate, amongst a stunning uninterrupted view of the Southern Alps.
