A Day Out of Time Gathering

Celebrate the sacred pause on the 25th July - the one day that sits outside the Mayan calendar and was not included in normal timekeeping.

The 'Day out of Time' gathering is a rare opportunity for families from our wide community to come together, unplug for a digital detox, and enjoy an intentional celebration.

You can expect a restorative, wholesome and fun winter weekend in the exquisite Grootbos surroundings. Simplicity, relaxation and soulful offerings are the name of the game. Sink in to the sacred essence of what it is to be human in community and relish a deep winter pause.

The essence of this gathering will be set on the Friday evening through an ancient Mayan story that will live through our sleep. On the Saturday morning, we will gather to 'douse the flame', switching off all electricity, and live for 24 hours without any technological devices or distraction. The following morning, we will 'rekindle the fire' for the year ahead.

Optional activities during the weekend include:

• Unplugged music
• Storytelling
• Hike to the mystical waterfall
• Yoga
• Meditation
• Talks
• Games
• Foosball, pool and table tennis tables
• Plant painting and healing workshop (extra cost & by booking only)
• Optional excursion to Klipgat Cave
• Optional visit to Grootbos Florilegium (extra cost & by booking only)

There are also many walks, indigenous forests, natural swimming spots and incredible flora and fauna to discover.

Cosy accommodation along with linen is included in the price, with various options available for different sized families - stay in a room together or let the older children sleep in the small dorms with their friends should they prefer. Rooms will be organised on a first-come-first-served basis. There is ample indoor space with fireplaces if it happens to be a wet weekend.
