SUMMARY:SUMMER SOLSTICE 2026
DESCRIPTION:JOIN US FOR OUR 10TH ANNIVERSARY! \n\nSolstice tribe\, during the past nine years we’ve co-created many luminous memories. \nTo celebrate our 10th Anniversary\, we honour each person who has participated over the years – and as a gesture of our gratitude we’ve released 70 Tribe Loyalty Tickets (more than twice of what was available last year) at a ridiculously cheap price of R899 – that’s less than R100 per day!\n \nSo let’s gather again to dance\, to sing\, to co-create what has become the most unique\, magical\, family-friendly expression of HEARTISTRY – sharing our gifts and talents from heart to heart\, and valuing our own uniqueness as well as the divine light in others. \nAs free spirits\, we learn and grow together\, we honour the Earth through meaningful rituals and\, as much as we love to have fun\, we also like giving back to the land by planting trees.\n \nWe also passionately believe in the power of TRANSFORMATION THROUGH PARTICIPATION.\n \nWelcome to the next evolution of our ongoing journey! \n\nFor ticket discounts\, other important updates and to announce your own offering(s)\, join our Summer Solstice Community on WhatsApp! \nhttps://chat.whatsapp.com/IV6TpYZkPdJ7GJXL3kkQpX \n\nOr follow our Facebook event page: https://www.facebook.com/events/950401841193639?active_tab=about \n\nHOW WE ROLL \nAt our family-friendly event\, alcohol\, other drugs and psychedelic stimulants are not welcome. Nor are bad attitudes and big egos. \nWe love to drum\, to dance and to make merry\, as well as strike a good balance between sound and silence. And we collectively co-create a safe space and container for everyone\, including those who are sensitive. \nWe encourage a healthy\, balanced lifestyle featuring all the tools at our disposal (yoga\, breathwork\, sound journeys\, sweat lodges\, and so forth…). \nOur musicians\, DJs and drummers have their glory moments\, but not to the detriment of a good night’s rest for all. \nWe 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! \nWe also favour intimacy\, quality over quantity\, and spaciousness rather than frenetic activity.And we collectively build a spirit of community by encouraging everyone to trade goods at our daily Talent Market. If you would like to trade more formally in our Trading Emporium\, please reach out to book your stall.\n \n\nWHAT ARE TALENTS? \nIt’s a mechanism for trading your skills or goods with others. It stems from the global Community Exchange Talent System and makes the event more accessible to those who are financially challenged and may not have much hard cash to spend.\n\nThe ethos of the event is for all those who attend it to experience a sense of financial buoyancy. In order to achieve this\, we highly recommend you engage with the Talent System and immerse yourself in the experience. It’s easy and effective – all the more so if you show up and honour yourself!\n\nTo register for your personal exchange number\, go here: www.community-exchange.org/home/ \n\nVOLUNTEERING \nEach volunteer receives a free ticket\, at least one yummy vegetarian meal per day\, plus a cash donation (provided they stay till the end). \nThere are only 16 places available on the team\, so to avoid disappointment fill in your application form soonest.
