বাউল বনের গান (Baul Boner Gaan) – Earth & Soul Fair

Location: Bell Park Scout Camp – just an hour from Melbourne

বাউল বনের গান meaning “Baul Songs of the Forest”

(Baul Boner Gaan) is a gathering of hearts and minds, rooted in the timeless philosophy of Bauliana—a soulful tradition from Bangladesh and West Bengal that celebrates unity, harmony, and shared humanity.

This Earth & Soul Fair invites you to reconnect—with your inner self, a loving community, and the land that nourishes us all. Together, we’ll celebrate through camping, music, storytelling, workshops, and communal living grounded in love and simplicity.
