If you’ve ever wandered around Collingwood, Melbourne, then you’ve most likely seen the biggest rainbow in town.
A space with global appeal, Second Story has made it's name as Melbourne’s hottest personal development venue, regularly hosting international facilitators for sell-out workshops, healings and events. From yoga and meditation, to dance, emotional release work, tantra and sexuality, and much more - all the transformational high vibes are happening and no day looks quite the same behind the rainbow. |

WHERE DO I EAT?
While there will be delicious, healthy food for sale at the festival, there’s plenty on offer in the surrounding area.
Nobody will be going hungry!
Luckily for participants, Collingwood—and neighbouring suburbs, Abbotsford and Fitzroy—are Melbourne’s hipster and vegetarian food fare capitals.
With something for every dietary preference and appetite (whether you’re ordering UberEats or looking to wander out for a bite) these are our top picks close by.
If you have a car, bike or fancy a longer walk, we recommend a trip to Fitzroy’s Brunswick St. for Vegie Bar and so many more places it would take us weeks to list them all.

WHAT IF I'M THIRSTY?
Cosmic Jimmy’s (Second Story’s café bar) is the puurrrfect place to quench your thirst between workshops and dance moves at Big Love Fest.
Named after the venue’s original cat mascot, the menu is bursting at the seams with refreshing goodness. From locally produced kombucha and herbal elixir cocktails to the best cacao and hot tonics north of the river, the organic, plant-based menu (no cow milk here!) will keep your good vibes flowing from morning latte into the night.

WHERE CAN PEOPLE INTEGRATE - OUTSIDE OF THE VENUE
Second Story is a 10-minute walk from the sacred banks of the Yarra river—hands down the best spot for post-workshop integration!
It’s the perfect spot to take a quiet moment for yourself and acknowledge the Traditional Owners of the land, the Boon Wurrung and Woiwurrung (Wurundjeri) peoples of the Kulin Nation and pay respect to their Elders, past and present. If you look carefully along the trail, you’ll see art and storytelling created by local school children and artists dedicated to the Wurundjeri people.
The nearby Abbotsford Convent and Collingwood Children’s farm are also prime spots to take a moment to chill on the grass. While you’re there, why not take advantage of a trip to the legendary Lentil As Anything for grounding, pay-as-you-feel vegetarian fare? You’ll be glad you did.
