ORIGIN is a planet-wide day of reconnection. Millions of people across the planet, pausing together in one synchronized moment, to remember our roots and what joins us all at the heart, the Earth in all her power. Our gathering is just one of the many events happening across the globe, with the Flagship Festival being held at the Cradle of Humankind, in Krugersdorp. We will reconnect through music, art, movement and making...
and you’re invited.
Yoga, breath and mindful movement to help you land and settle in.
Local musicians and sound from afternoon into the evening.
Makers and craftspeople sharing what they create by hand.
Hands-on sessions, growing, making, moving, learning.
Homemade treats and treasures from stalls throughout the event.
Space to meet, talk and simply be with the people around you.
Seed the Dream. You’ll be a part of earth restoration initiatives from the moment you purchase your ticket. Each sold ticket comes with a seedling to take home and add to your garden.
Join other event attendees and communities across the world in a Synchronized Moment with a healing devotion to our Earth and all her elements, at 9pm SAST.
Pick the way you’d like to be part of the day and sign up. One form covers every role, just tell us which one you have in mind. We read every response and we’ll be in touch personally.
Bring your stall, your treats, your handmade treasures, and share what you make with the community.

Sign up →ORIGIN runs through to the Synchronized Moment at 9pm, and Island Vibe is not only where the day happens, it is where you can sleep afterwards. A dorm bed from R300, a wooden cabin with its own deck over the surf, or a beachfront en-suite room that sleeps up to four. Book a night instead of a lift home, and let the sea wake you up in the morning.
