VENUE
In 2021 we will be returning to Wild Spirit Lodge – located near Nature’s Valley in the heart of the Garden Route. The area is surrounded by the indigenous forests, pristine beaches and the mountains of the Tsitsikamma National Park.
The location is a perfect place to take a break in nature and give back to the surrounding landscape which is still suffering after the devastating 2017 fires.
Greenpop sets up the Green Village and we use the space to practice a low impact lifestyle. It’s rustic but very comfortable – we pride ourselves on creating inspiring spaces. You can choose to bring your own tent, stay in a shared or private Greenpop tent or rent a room at Wild Spirit Lodge – we have something to suit everyone.
MEALS & SNACKS
We strive to live as sustainably as possible by buying from local farmers, eating seasonal food, and using alternative cooking methods.
Because the meat industry has a devastating effect on the environment, we believe in reducing our meat consumption. We serve three well-balanced plant-based meals per day with snacks in between, so you’ll get all the vitamins and protein you need! All food is included in the programme fee, and there is a farm stall nearby if you would like to purchase extra snacks.
In addition to enjoying delicious plant-based meals, you will also be able to participate in plant-based cooking demos and talks.
TRANSPORT
Getting to the Festival of Action
You can get to the event’s base camp (just outside of Plettenberg Bay) by bus, car or plane. If you take a bus, the Greenpop team will arrange transfers from the bus station in Plettenberg Bay. If you fly, we will arrange transfers from the airport in George (this is the nearest airport).
Getting around the area
During the progamme we travel in several overland trucks and busses that are driven by licensed and professional drivers to get to our activities.
