From 5 to 8 June 2026, the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre hosted Australia’s largest health expo — the Mind Body Spirit Festival. The event brought together over 100 organisations spanning health food, natural skincare, healing therapies, aromatherapy, culture, and sustainable living, drawing thousands of visitors across the four days.
The Falun Dafa booth was a prominent presence among the exhibits, with practitioners in golden exercise clothing demonstrating the five sets of exercises against a blue and gold backdrop. The peaceful scene drew steady interest throughout the festival — visitors stopped to collect materials, purchase books, and ask about learning the practice.
“The principles resonate easily. When you think of truth, compassion, forbearance, these qualities come from within.”
— Tracy McGee, Beauty Therapist
“These principles sparked strong resonance in me; I believe they represent life’s most important values.”
— Paco Cornilleau, Hospitality Manager“I think it brings peace — look at these practitioners, how peaceful they appear. And this practitioner teaching the meditation, I can feel the serene energy from him; even from a metre away I can feel his energy. So I think this practice would be very beneficial for everyone.”
— Paco Cornilleau, Hospitality Manager
Josef Pesti, a retiree, purchased a copy of Zhuan Falun, the primary Falun Dafa book, at the festival.
“I came especially today to have a look, and I may well come back over the next three days.”
— Josef Pesti, Retiree“It would be very helpful in all aspects of life.”
— Josef Pesti, Retiree“I very much want to understand the history behind it, and I hope to join a practice site near where I live, connect with local practitioners, and begin cultivating myself.”
