Covid Related Terms and Conditions
With COVID still very much present in the community it is almost inevitable that it will also be present at some stage at Journeys End. All attendees are expected to take responsibility for themselves and for the protection of others. Pre- and during-testing is encouraged, as will be removing oneself from the site if you test COVID positive or become ill (there is no way of isolating on-site). Please consider how you will protect yourself and others if you were to test positive mid-event. We aim to have a team of people willing to support anyone who tests positive (eg. driving a sick person off-site).
If you are unwell prior to Convergence we ask that stay at home until you are well again.
There are no COVID-related restrictions on attendance at Convergence at this stage. In the event of a COVID outbreak in NZ before the event starts, we will follow Ministry of Health guidelines.
In the event of a cancellation before 5th December a full refund will be provided. If cancelled after 5th December, 25% of the ticket price will be held back to cover costs and the remaining 75% refunded to you.
Ticketing Policy
A maximum of 200 tickets are available. Tickets are available online from 1st November until 20th December, unless the maximum sales have been reached prior to that date. Gate sales will only be available if the 200 limit has not been reached by 20th December.
You may cancel your registration before 20th December and receive a refund of your ticket price less $25. (After 20th December there is no ticketing support due to the Christmas break.)

- Meal preparation / clean-up
- Serving Meals
- Facilitation
- Daily housekeeping – cleaning toilets / showers, firewood, sauna maintenance etc
- Composting
- Packing up after the event
We are a family; a community. We ask that you be sensitive to the needs of yourself and others.
