Blue Hippo Farm – Greyton

•*´¨`*•.¸¸.•*´¨`*•.¸¸.•*´¨`*•.¸¸.•*´¨`*•.¸¸.•

This is a festival of sweet soul exploration through sound…a sacred celebration of the vibration of creation. Sound has the capacity to heal, transform our DNA and even to create new worlds and universes.We invite you to sing the song of your own heart and to birth your bliss into being, while being cradled in the arms of your brothers and sisters and the beautiful earth mother! Space of love is a very special co-created gathering where we all come together to share our unique gifts and create the space in a way that rings true to the rhythms of our spirits and mother earth. We are guided by love, joy and the dynamic energies that are ushering in the New Earth. The Blue Hippo Farm is a magnificent space to drink in the beauty and sacred heartbeat song of the earth. At SOL gatherings we come together to play, pray, dance, sing, sound, celebrate, garden and explore the beauty of creativity through an abundance of workshops and events. There are workshops and play spaces for children, and it is a special space for families. We are strictly drug and alcohol free. Although the guiding light of this gathering is sound…there will be space for yoga, dance, raw foods, journey work and whatever you feel to offer to the space…keeping an awareness of how sounds sings us into being in a myriad of ways…our heart beat, our breathe, the music we dance to, the song of nature and the earth as we garden. If you feel inspired to offer something to the gathering…music/art/dance/workshops/events please let us know so we can add you to the schedule: offerings@spaceoflove.co.za. Food is mostly vegan and raw, communal bring and share, and communally prepared. Bring boxes of fruit, veggies, grains, pulses, honey, superfoods etc for the kitchen… So let us sing our heart songs in celebration of the one divine….and allow the soul-shaking sounds to infuse our beings and to ignite the sweet sacred light within us into full flame!   •*´¨`*•.¸¸.•*´¨`*•.¸¸.•*´¨`*•.¸¸.•*´¨`*•.¸¸.•

HOW THE GATHERING WORKS:

Please check out our FAQ’s for more details about the gathering and about what to bring.

TICKETS:
Entrance (incl. Camping in own tents):
Adults = R250 per person
Children 5-17 = R100 per child
Under 5 = free
Day Visitors (Adults = R150, Children 5-17 = R75)

To book email: bookings@spaceoflove.co.za

Please note that in the spirit of co-creation everyone buys a ticket, incl. those offering workshops/events. SOL is a non-profit gathering, and a service of love, and the SOL team all offer their contributions on a seva (service/volunteer) basis. We keep ticket prices as low as possible to cover basic costs. All funds go directly back into the project to pay for costs such as the tipi village, equipment, decor, loo paper etc.

CO-CREATION: 

During the SOL weekend, we all come together as a loving and supportive community/ family to offer our energy, skills, gifts and awareness to the space! Meals will be prepared communally, and we ask that everyone take a turn in the kitchen. We are also looking for volunteers to focalise

meals. We also ask that you hold an awareness of keeping spaces clean, taking back with you all that you have brought, and dealing responsibly with refuse – reduce, reuse, recycle! Other roles will also come up spontaneously during the weekend, and we ask that you enter into them with love: e.g. fire keeping, refuse awareness. If you see something that needs doing – do it : )!

OFFERINGS:

We have created the space so that people can offer their unique gifts and talents in the form of workshops, talks, classes and events. If there is something that you would like to offer, talk to Annwen, so she can put you on the schedule: offerings@spaceoflove.co.za / 0845887741

FOOD:

Food is “bring and share” and communally prepared – this keeps ticket prices down and creates an amazing loving kitchen vibe. Healthy vegetarian/vegan food with a focus on raw food. Bring boxes of fruit and veg, nuts and seeds, tahini, superfoods and dates. Be generous, this food will be feeding you and your family over the whole weekend.

 

Also any kitchen equipment you feel inspired to contribute would be appreciated: think champion blenders, big pots, knives, chopping boards, peelers, big serving bowls/tubs etc.

ACCOMMODATION:

Is in camping and tipis. Camping: please bring tents, bedding, and all you will need to be cuddly and cosy. There are a limited number of beds in tipis available for an extra R100 per person for the weekend. Tipi’s have double and single beds and sleep about 5 people each. Bring ur own bedding.

Have you ever felt the need to get back to nature and experience your roots? Seen pure spring water at its source? The sound of owls and jackals at night? Stars glittering, out of the shear joy of being in the heavens.

Would you like to experience this for a few days? Join in the basic thrills of walking in nature, through shady canopies along a stream and having a picnic with the sound of water and birds?

Join in the primal thrill of connecting to yourself in a pyramid; communing with yourself while walking a labyrinth and rejoicing in life with a purifying sweat lodge.

If this interests you why not join us at the 3day retreat on the sustainable community called ‘5 Streams’, 27 km’s from Nottingham Road nestled into the foothills of the Drakensberg. It is 2 hours from Durban and 4.5 – 5 hours from Johannesburg along very easy roads.

Friday 11 November 2011 @ noon to Sunday 13 November 2011 @ noon

Kins´ Domain Community possibility in South Africa

Dearest Kin,

Please read this article to find out about the exciting opportunity for another Kins´Domain eco-village in South Africa. Hans is a property developer who read the Ringing Cedars books when he was in Holland, and has been looking for land since to help develop a Kins´domain eco-village inspired by Anastasia.

He has found a piece of land between P.E and Jeffreys bay.
The site is over 600 ha, and can house around 50 families.
The rest of the land is applicable for a nature reserve. It has a beautiful view of the sea coast and on the other side to the baviaans Mountains.
There is game on the land (including zebra, wildebeest and impala) and the idea was for an Eco Village, but also for Eco Tourism which can accumulate income and be used for the settlers.

click here to read more  about the land and the proposed ideas. or email Hans directly on hans@kingshomeinspection.co.za.

To see photos of the land, email me, ashleigh@spaceoflove.co.za and i will forward photos to you. (for some reason the photo uploading software for our website is not working)

Hi Loves.

A quick update…
DATE: I’m changing the date to Sunday as there is a big festival in muizenberg that the whole muizenberg community is involved in.. The Muizenberg community is so lovely- i would like to make is easy for them to attend. Also our host would very much like to be there. I apologise if this messes with anyone’s arrangements! And this way the earth dance people may be more inclined to join us if they’ve had their fill of earth dancing by Sunday.

OFFERINGS: One or two have offered to do some activities (children’s activities,  a talk, some music and a dance) but i don’t have more than that confirmed… so if you would like to help us co-create this, please let me know.. it can be very informal and playful too if you have a fun idea up your sleeve. Will send out a proper activities list on Wednesday.

MEALS: Bring and share enough for Lunch and left overs for Supper if you are staying. If you plan to eat please be sure to contribute food to the feast!!
Raw/ vegan/ vegetarian please :-)

Love Annwen
