LAST DAY ! ! Final Call for Super Early Bird Tickets !

Okay… this is it.
Last day already ~ no more “I think about it tomorrow”

Earth Fest only happens once a year… and honestly, this year is something else.
Like… how did this even come together kind of feeling.

Earth Fest 2026 team really went all out — all these amazing humans, each with their own magic, coming together to co-create this one big gathering.
And somehow… we also made a reunion concert happen. Not a small one ~ a real, meaningful one.

If you’re anywhere on this planet — this is the one to come for.

And please… get the Early Bird.

EF (Earth Fest) Super Early Bird group ticket is only RM40 per person.
Yes… RM40. We also still processing this 😅

Forget everything you think a “concert” is.
This is not that.

This is a campfire gathering under the stars, inside the old walls of KOTAJAIL (Penjara Ayer Molek, JB).
A bit wild, a bit raw, a lot of heart.

Imagine this:
Firewood crackling, night breeze coming in, and some of Malaysia’s finest artists going fully acoustic.
No barriers, no distance — just people, music, and connection.

We sit together, we listen, we sing… like one big circle.

Line-up includes:
Orang Orang Drum Theatre
Rosemarry
ANAK BORNEO
Pop
Pangrok Sulap
… and a few more surprises we’re keeping for you

Don’t miss this one. Really.

Super Early Bird tickets are very limited.
Once it’s gone, it’s gone.

Date: 13 June 2026
Time: 6:30 PM
Venue: KOTAJAIL (Penjara Ayer Molek, JB)

So… you coming or not?

Thanks to Nick and his friend, we had the chance to meet Kim and her father. We learned so much from their journey with bamboo.

It was really touching just listening to their stories ~ how everything started, and Mr. Ngo’s deep passion for bamboo. The way he harvests, treats, and transforms bamboo into such beautiful and useful products is truly inspiring.

Kim also shared her journey, from starting with bamboo charcoal to now creating a whole series of thoughtful products. It’s amazing to see how things have grown.

Looking forward to learning more and exploring possibilities to work together with Kim and Mr. Ngo.

Grateful to Nick and his friend for making this connection, and thank you Xiao Kang for introducing such wonderful people to us too.

Feeling really blessed to be surrounded by good friends and people who truly care for the next generation ♡

We’re so happy and excited to have collected some beautiful seeds from Bario ♡
Adding new plants into our seed bank feels like welcoming new life into the journey ♡

Most of the plants and ingredients here were our first time tasting ~~ such a humbling and eye-opening experience. There is so much to learn from Sarawak, I’m amazed, and definitely feel the call to come back again ♡

Seed saving is something we deeply value — a simple but meaningful way to protect biodiversity, preserve local varieties, and keep the connection between people, food, and land alive

With the spark from our M.A.R.S family ~ Alan & Hui Xin, the space slowly grows warmer and more cosy.

When people come together, things naturally bloom in their own way ~♡

We simply love observing how everything transforms , organically, just like a tree growing in its own time.

Coming Home. ( open for registration)
a return to land, life and community

Coming Home is a two day gathering to celebrate a welcoming “ a homecoming “ shared with friends from near and far.

It is an invitation to return to the land, to life, and to community, in the way we once lived and still long for. Friends who love nature, art, music and farming come together ~ farmers and seed savers, artists and musicians, nature educators and nature lovers.

Together with our dear teacher Jon Jandai from Thailand, and Dongi Taloma (吴雪月校长), known as the “Godmother of Wild Greens”, an Indigenous Amis (Pangcah) from Taiwan, an educator and researcher ~ you will also meet many of our dear friends who have supported this journey over the years. Like minded people , together, we gather as one.

We open this space to the community around us , to those who long to slow down, to pause from daily life, and to enter the forest together. A time to reconnect with the land, with life, and with one another.

Here, we live simply and honestly ~ playing music, djembe , sharing stories, cooking ,fermenting, and tasting wild food together, getting our hands in the mud, creating arts, laughing, chatting, doing nothing and reconnecting in real life. There is space for joy, for quiet moments, for looking inward, and for being present with one another.

Coming Home is not a performance or a festival.
It is a gathering , to live together, to celebrate together, and to remember what it means to be home.

If you feel called to reconnect ~ with nature, with people, or with yourself ~ you are warmly invited to join us.

Let’s come home ~ together.
