Human Excellence Community Music Events
Family Music Event Camping: Connect, Create, Celebrate
Welcome to the Heart of Human Excellence
At the Human Excellence Project, we’ve built a one-of-a-kind community that gathers every single day of the year—365 days of connection, growth, and inspiration. Based in Western Australia, our Family Music Event camping trips are where families, couples, and individuals come together to rekindle love, forge deep bonds, and celebrate life in a healthy, alcohol-free environment. Here, we don’t just live human excellence—we embody it.
A Community Like No Other
Our community is a vibrant tapestry of talented individuals from across the globe—teachers, doctors, musicians, artists, business owners, and more. What unites us? A passion for gifting, generosity, and uplifting one another. People join for their own reasons, but they stay for the lifelong friendships and shared purpose. While natural subgroups form, we encourage everyone to connect with all members, fostering an inclusive, supportive vibe. Human Excellence by name, Human Excellence by nature!
Sober, Healthy, and Thriving
We stand firmly against alcohol, the most damaging drug on the planet. Our camps, and HEP Tipi Home marquee are alcohol-free zones, creating a safe, nurturing space for families to thrive. We champion health and well-being every day through activities like fasting, bike rides, swims, and mindfulness practices. Our camping trips are designed to help couples reconnect, strengthen family bonds, and raise children in an environment filled with love and positivity. Keeping families together forever is what we live for.
Creativity That Lights Up the World
Our music events camping trips are a celebration of creativity and collaboration. As a community, we design art, clothing, hats, food, and unique gifts for each event, pouring our hearts into every detail. Our Light Rebels department, recognised as leaders in Western Australia’s large-scale light art scene, brings awe-inspiring installations like Lumosphere to festivals and events. These radiant creations don’t just illuminate dark places—they inspire others to join our healthy community or start their own. Every piece of art is a call to live boldly and connect deeply.
Why Our Events Matter
At Perth’s festivals and beyond, our community create a wholesome environment where love and connection flourish. Couples rediscover their spark, families grow stronger, and kids witness the power of loving, present parents. The proceeds from our Light Rebels projects and retreat activities fund free community events throughout the year, ensuring everyone can access the transformative power of human excellence. By attending, you’re supporting a movement that keeps community first.

Come experience the magic of our Family Music Events. Whether you’re designing art with us, dancing under the glow of Lumosphere, or simply soaking in the joyful atmosphere, you’ll find a home in our community. We live by strong values—health, generosity, and connection—and we invite you to join us in shining brighter together.

HEP - HUB
Deep down we are all CREATORS
Human Excellence Hub: Where Ideas Come to Life
Welcome to the Heartbeat of Creativity
Nestled in Gnangara, Western Australia, the Human Excellence Hub is our creation home—a vibrant workshop where magical ideas are transformed into reality. As the birthplace of the Light Rebels’ awe-inspiring, large-scale LED art installations, the Hub is more than a workspace; it’s a sanctuary for innovation, collaboration, and healing. Here, our community comes together to craft art that lights up festivals, events, and hearts across WA, funding our free community programs and illuminating the path to human excellence.
A Space for Creation
The Human Excellence Hub is equipped to turn visions into masterpieces. Our state-of-the-art tools include:
• A 1300 x 900mm 1300W THUNDER laser cutter for precision designs.
• A Bambu Lab X1C 3D printer for cutting-edge prototyping.
• A metalwork area with tube benders, linishers, metal cutters, and design software.
Specializing in large-scale LED art installations like the iconic Lumosphere, we’re recognised as leaders in Western Australia’s light art scene. From concept to completion, every project is a testament to creativity, teamwork, and relentless drive. Our motto? Deadlines get shit done! But it’s the passion and ACTION of our community that make it all happen.
Meet the Dream Team
Our Hub is powered by a trio of visionary creators:
• Paul Holliday, Head of Innovation and Ideas, whose bold visions set the stage for every project.
• David J. Cryer, our “mad scientist” and Head of Fabrication, a born creator who can build anything we dream up.
• Carl Brightwell, our Mechatronics Engineer, coder, programmer, and organiser—the secret weapon who brings our art to life with stunning light and motion through programming.
Together, they lead a passionate team of volunteers and community members, turning the Hub into a buzzing hive of creativity.
Empowering the Next Generation
At the Human Excellence Hub, we believe creation is a powerful healer for mental health and a catalyst for growth. That’s why we host free fortnightly workshops for young Human Excellence “dippers” Hep-prenticship (our term for curious, eager learners). These workshops introduce teens to the art-making process—from design to fabrication—giving them hands-on experience in our projects. They learn teamwork, build confidence, and develop communication skills, all while contributing to installations that light up WA. It’s about more than art; it’s about empowering youth to shine.
Why the Hub Matters
The Hub is the engine behind our Light Rebels projects, which fund the Human Excellence Project’s free community events throughout the year. Every LED sculpture, every glowing installation, is a community effort that brings light to dark places—both literally and figuratively. By creating together, we foster connection, inspire hope, and prove that action and deadlines can transform lives. Whether it’s a festival piece or a workshop for kids, the Hub is where human excellence comes to life.
