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

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.
