Paleo Comes to Australia – Are You In?

Those lucky Americans seem to have some sort of Paleo/ Primal/ Low Carb event in the United States almost every month. The Ancestral Health Symposium, the Paleo FX, PrimalCon and even a Low Carb Cruise. What about us down here in Australia and New Zealand?

If you were feeling left out, you needn't any more – Paleo is coming to Australia, soon!

I can’t wait to let you in on this! I'm going to share the details (and a special discount code) with those who've signed up to my newsletter, before I announce the details here…

I wish I could say more, but all will soon be revealed!

Why Paleo Events Matter (Especially Down Under)

Paleo is so much more than a dietary choice – it’s a lifestyle shift that redefines how we move, rest, eat, and connect. But as exciting as the world of ancestral health is, it can also be incredibly isolating, especially in regions like Australia and New Zealand where in-person communities are few and far between.

That’s one of the reasons events like PrimalCon, Paleo f(x), and the Ancestral Health Symposium have become such huge highlights overseas. These aren’t just expos or lecture series – they’re immersive weekends where like-minded people come together to learn, eat, train, share, and connect in real life. Until now, we’ve largely watched them unfold from afar.

So it’s about time something changed – and it is.

What a Paleo Weekend Should Be

When I first began dreaming up a local Paleo weekend, I thought about what made the US events so powerful. The key, I realised, was the feeling of belonging. To sit down at a meal where you don’t have to explain why you’re avoiding grains. To do a barefoot sprint session without weird looks. To geek out about cold plunges or offal without anyone batting an eye.

My vision was clear: it had to be a weekend that welcomed everyone from the curious beginner to the full-blown barefoot liver-loving enthusiast. A weekend of hands-on learning, deep discussions, delicious Paleo-friendly food, and movement sessions that actually felt natural.

The Core Pillars of Our Aussie Paleo Event

So without giving too much away (yet!), here’s a peek into the kind of experience I’ve been curating behind the scenes – and why this event is designed to be so much more than just another health conference.

1. Nutrition Without Dogma

Whether you're into nose-to-tail eating, wild fermentation, or just trying to understand the basics of going grain-free, the food element of the weekend is going to be front and centre. But instead of rigid rules or one-size-fits-all advice, expect real talk from people who’ve lived and breathed Paleo for years.

Think live cooking demos, foraging tips, and panels on everything from dealing with unsupportive family to balancing modern work life with ancestral eating patterns. We’ll talk about food as nourishment, not fear – and celebrate the joy of eating in community.

2. Move Like a Human

One of the most exciting aspects will be the focus on movement – not gym workouts, but truly functional human movement. Inspired by modalities like MovNat and barefoot training, sessions will include things like:

• Play-based mobility and animal flow
• Natural movement hikes
• Posture and barefoot running technique
• Workshops on how to integrate movement into your work day

Because movement shouldn’t be punishment – it should feel like coming home to your body.

3. Connection and Community

Let’s face it – being the “weird one” who brings bone broth to work or skips birthday cake can get a little lonely. That’s why creating space for genuine connection is so crucial.

Expect group meals, fireside chats, breakout groups, and Q&A panels where you can share your wins and struggles – and hear how others are navigating the same path. This is the chance to build your tribe.

What to Expect (Without Spoiling the Surprise!)

Still can’t share everything (trust me, I want to!), but I can tell you this: the weekend is designed to be immersive. You’ll come away feeling informed, inspired, nourished, and more connected – not just to the community, but to your own health journey.

The event is not just for the ultra-disciplined or those with six-pack abs. It’s for real people – parents, professionals, students, athletes, and anyone who’s ever wondered if there’s a more natural, sustainable way to live.

There will be:

• Guest speakers from across Australia’s Paleo and ancestral health scene
• Delicious, fully Paleo meals and snacks catered for all attendees
• Sunrise movement sessions, barefoot beach walks, and evening bonfires
• Workshops on everything from gut health to stress regulation to biohacking on a budget
• A few secret surprises I promise you’ll love

Why Now Is the Perfect Time

After the last few years, I think we’re all more aware than ever of the importance of community and health. Many of us have realised just how fragile our wellbeing can be when modern life keeps us chronically stressed, under-nourished, and disconnected.

This event is my way of pushing back against that – of saying it’s time to reclaim our health, on our terms. It’s time to get off the screens and back into nature. Time to eat together, laugh together, and learn from one another.

Whether you’re brand new to Paleo or have been on this path for a decade, there will be something here for you.

A Taste of What People Are Saying
