Soul tribe, it’s time to gather again. To dance, to sing, to co-create what has become the most unique, magical, family-friendly transformative festival.
As free spirits, we love sharing our gifts and talents from heart to heart, honouring the Earth and her cosmic cycles, valuing our own uniqueness as well as the divine light in others.
Learning together, growing together as well as giving back to the land and one another. Welcome to the next evolution of our ongoing journey!
TRANSFORMATION THROUGH PARTICIPATION
At our family-friendly event, alcohol and drugs are not welcome. Nor are bad attitudes and big egos. We love to dance and make merry, as well as strike a good balance between sound and silence. We co-create a safe space and container for everyone, including those who are sensitive.
Our musicians, DJs and drummers have their glory moments, but not to the detriment of a good night's rest for all. We encourage each participant to make the most of an amazing environment where you can rest, relax and resource yourself from nature... while having loads of fun into the bargain.

Summer Solstice Event Information
NB! Where on the Garden Route can you glamp or camp at the rates that we offer during peak holiday and summer season? It is a unique opportunity to come out of the city and into pristine nature to completely relax and ground. Relax, reset, recharge, rest and rise ... together!
TICKETING POLICY
We care for the Well-Being Sanctuary environment and are committed to managing the impact of our footprint on the land. We also favour intimacy, quality over quantity, and spaciousness rather than frenetic activity. Thus, ticket sales are limited to a maximum of 600.
The ticket price is the same whether you come for the whole event or intend to attend only for a day. This is to encourage you to immerse yourself in the community experience, and to discourage the nuisance factor of curious spectators dropping in without understanding how we roll.
Importantly, please note: we do not sell tickets at the gate! And we have a NO REFUNDS policy. If, due to unforeseen circumstances you cannot attend the event, you may sell your ticket to a friend – on condition that you notify us in advance of the arrangement.
GLAMPING
Deluxe Glamping will be available - it was sold out last year!
All glamping enquiries: Mariette Carstens, 066 256 8468
Glamping Accommodation
Welcome to our hospitality haven, where glamping takes on a whole new level of comfort and luxury. Our cosy and comfortable beds are fit for royalty, offering a range of options including king, queen, and single beds. Each tent accommodates one to two people, allowing you to choose the perfect bed to suit your preference. For larger groups, our spacious tents comfortably accommodate three to four people, providing ample space to relax and unwind.
Whether you prefer a shady spot or basking in the sun, our boutique glamping village offers an array of tents with carpets, pillows, and soft cotton bedding that will envelop you in a cloud of relaxation. Our 5 metre Bell tents are spacious enough to stand up in, allowing you to move freely and comfortably. From your tent, enjoy breathtaking views over the serene lake, lush meadows, and the enchanting beauty of the fairy forest.
Immerse yourself in community and nature, where the only thing separating you from the twinkling stars at night is a canvas roof. Rest assured, your safety is paramount, and our well-lit surroundings provide a sense of security throughout your stay. Wi-Fi is available upon request should you need to connect, and you'll find good cell phone reception with various service providers.
HOW WE ROLL
The entire event is a communal gathering bonded by the glue of co-creation. Some of it is pre-conceived, yet much of it arises spontaneously in the moment. Whatever you have to offer, please let us know and we’ll strive to weave you in. For more information, contact Dion Viljoen (072 433 7421) or Mariette Carstens (066 256 8468).
The venue has hot showers and excellent compost toilets. It also has good drinking water. Beyond that, the emphasis is on maximum self-reliance. Take responsibility for feeding and nourishing yourself. In addition, there are a number of food stalls that cater for a wide spectrum of people, with an emphasis on healthy vegetarian and vegan meals. Meal offerings from various food stalls will be announced closer to the time. This will be done via the DISCUSSION thread of our Facebook events page or via our Creative Cradle platform on Telegram.
You'll have to sign an indemnity form and are responsible for your own behaviour thereafter. Thank you for respecting all boundaries.
Also, the event is open to all who have a conscious camping mindset. This means taking full responsibility for your own recycling, taking your rubbish home with you and leaving no trace when you pack up and go.
WHAT IS MAXIMUM SELF-RELIANCE?
Once you've bought a ticket, you'll receive a detailed list via e-mail of suggestions on what to bring. Feel free to ask questions if need be. In general though, please arrive with a can-do attitude and EVERYTHING ELSE for a comfortable camping experience, plus additional food to share for the communal Summer Solstice Rainbow Meal feast.
WHAT NOT TO BRING (AND DO!)
No pets! And no alcohol, drugs or psychedelic stimulants.
No open fires where you camp (as this is a high fire-risk venue). There are designated fire circles and a cooking area where cooking fires may be made. You may also cook your own food using a gas burner at your campsite.
Right of admission reserved, so respect this boundary.
