WEAVE AS ONE FAMILY

This festival is all about flow. Small and intimate enough to move as one, but big enough to offer you the freedom to pick and choose what you want.

Workshops, ceremonies and concerts don't all happen in parallel, so whether you’re basking in the sun, or having the best breathwork session of your life, you’ll never feel like you’re missing out.

LIVE MUSIC & SOULFUL DJS

Music is the heart beat of this festival. Every day is designed to take you deeper into the frequency of love. From beautifully curated yoga playlists, to drum circles to indigenous song circles. From transformative sound healings, to incredible live performances, to amazing DJs, to enigmatic stargazing sessions… whatever your vibration - whether you feel like sinking into the earth or shooting across the universe - we got you.

DAILY MEALS IN COMMUNITY

Community is one of our core Thrive principals. We love the idea of coming together twice a day to pause, wash our hands, break bread, share food and tell stories around a big communal table.

So whether it’s a bountiful buffet brunch or a sunset dinner gathering, you can count on meal times being an absolute highlight. This year we will have a number of delicious food truck options for all tastes.

Thrive is inspired by those who know how to savour and enjoy the nectar of life. So come and take a journey with us. Feast your senses, celebrate the beauty of existence and remember what it means to truly be. Every aspect of this retreat is lovingly curated to take you deeper into the vibration of
pure connection, pleasure and love.

WORKSHOPS & CEREMONIES

Thrive offers all the nourishment of a wellness retreat with all of the fun of a festival. You've done the work, this is a time to play and embrace your inner beauty, remembering that you are perfect just as you are. Whether you feel like learning or sharing, stretching or dancing, listening or singing or laughing... whether you want to connect more deeply with your partner, make new friends, play with your kids or take a moment for yourself to rest, you can find it here.

CONSCIOUS KIDS + YOUTH CAMP

We are a family-friendly festival, which means that not only are kids more than welcome, they’re taken care of too. Our conscious kids camp empowers young beings to thrive, exploring art, nature, music and dance in a safe and curated setting.

Children are minded from ages 3 and up so that parents can enjoy a workshop knowing that their kids are having a blast, engaging in a fun and educational workshop of their own.

NEW YEAR'S BANQUET

What better way to end the year than by reminiscing over a long banquet table with close friends? Our New Year’s Banquet - hosted by charismatic chef Lapo Magni - promises to be one of the highlights of the year... full of delicious food, decadent drinks, good company and wonderful surprises.

A day of ritual and celebration, we spend the afternoon setting our intentions and the evening dancing them in.

PLAY INTO YOUR EXPRESSION

Beauty, wonder, play… oh these are the days. Days to see and be seen, free from judgement. Days to embrace beauty and witness the world through new eyes... where everything is in its right place and all is exactly as it should be.

This whole spectacular show is for you, don’t you know? So come, come, whoever you are, play into your self expression and adorn yourself as we weave a little wonder amongst the stars.

IMMERSE YOURSELF IN THE EARTH

Bathe in Mother Nature, let her remind you how to rest. Long forest walks, wild swimming, foraging missions, abundant fresh air, lazy afternoons by the lake and endless evenings gazing into the milky way.

Above all, this is a place to recharge and reconnect. Join us and forget about time for a little while, sink into the peaceful womb of the magnificent Garden Route and let your natural beauty shine.
