Ongoing Activities
TREASURE HUNT
ACROSS THE FESTIVAL
Arrive early and kick things off with our festival-wide Treasure Hunt — a playful invitation to explore every corner of the site. Follow clues, wander off the beaten path, and uncover hidden surprises scattered across the grounds.
Along the way you might discover free cocktails / drinks / coffee / food / fire spin lessons / tattoos / consensual massage moments / and more gifted by both the festival, vendors, and fellow attendees.
It’s part adventure, part social spark — designed to get you moving, mingling, and discovering the magic woven throughout the festival.
Jaguar House
Jaguar House is our dedicated healing sanctuary — a grounding space for rest, recalibration, and deep care amidst the energy of the festival.
Designed as a place to slow down, reconnect with yourself, and receive one-on-one support, Jaguar House offers a quiet refuge where you can tend to your body, mind, and nervous system. Whether you're seeking physical relief, emotional support, energetic balance, or simply a moment of stillness, you'll find a welcoming space to pause and reset.
Throughout the festival, a collective of experienced practitioners will be offering a range of healing sessions and therapeutic modalities. The specific offerings and practitioners will be announced closer to the event.
Whether you're integrating a powerful workshop, recovering from a long night on the dance floor, or simply craving some nurturing care, Jaguar House is here to support your journey.
Want a taste of what Jaguar House is all about before NITT? The Jaguar House team is hosting JagFest, a new wellbeing and healing festival in Hawke's Bay 16-18 October 2026. It's a beautiful opportunity to experience their community, practitioners, and approach to holistic wellbeing ahead of February's adventures in the valley.
Sauna
Step into the warmth of our festival sauna, a cosy retreat for relaxation, connection, and rejuvenation. Whether you’re unwinding after a day of dancing or seeking a quiet moment to recharge, the sauna offers a unique space to detox, share stories, and embrace the calming heat. Perfect for deepening your festival experience in a truly grounding way.
TATTOO TEMPLE
Ready to leave the valley with more than memories?
Visit the Tattoo Temple, where a carefully curated lineup of talented tattoo artists will be offering both hand-poked and machine tattooing throughout the festival.
Choose from a selection of custom flash designs created especially for Naked In The Trees, or speak directly with an artist about a small custom piece. Whether you're commemorating a transformative moment, marking a new chapter, or simply falling in love with a design, the Tattoo Temple offers a unique opportunity to take a piece of the festival home with you.
Our 2027 artist lineup and flash collections will be announced closer to the event.
Please note that tattoo appointments are limited and will be booked directly with artists during the festival.
THE ART EXCHANGE
Sell your artwork to Naked In The Trees 🎨 The Art Exchange is a pop-up gallery and marketplace in The Village, celebrating creativity from within our community. Guests are invited to bring their own artworks to exhibit and sell, transforming the space into a living, evolving gallery across the festival.
There’s no need to register or tell us in advance — simply arrive with your work, framed and ready to hang. You can see the hooks artworks will be hung from in the pictures above. Artists will be asked to leave their contact details and the price they’d like to set for each piece for once at the festival.
The Art Exchange will be managed by Jami Page, ensuring artworks are displayed beautifully throughout the weekend. Come share your creativity, support fellow artists, and maybe take a piece of the festival home with you.

Queer Trinkets Trading Post
A tiny installation built on trust, curiosity, and the joy of sharing treasures.
Curated by Jaimee and Theo, the Queer Trinkets Trading Post is a community-powered exchange where festival-goers are invited to leave a trinket and discover one left by someone else. Think tiny treasures, curious objects, heartfelt keepsakes, shiny finds, strange souvenirs, and pocket-sized stories.
The Trading Post will remain open throughout the festival, quietly evolving as new treasures arrive and others find new homes. Visit once or many times, leave something meaningful, or simply stop by to admire the collection.
No transactions. No ownership. Just trust, generosity, and a little bit of magic.
