WTF is GG23?
The 8th rendition of a grounded gathering
that jump started
a grass-roots,
not-for-profit,
community organisation
that some people call a movement.
(it is not a cult.... promise!)
a high vibe,
down to earth,
good old fashioned,
permaculture action party
(despite the fancy new age name - the practice is ancient!)
a joyously-thriving
family-friendly
village-sized
cultural celebration
(giving what your soul is craving)
a syntropic symphony
of social synchronicity
(sounds stupendously special doesn't it!!)
regenerating
our sacred connection
to country, community & culture
(that is our mission statement FYI)

Cedar Waters (fka Famunity)
is a hive of community activity.
As a retreat participant,
you get the exclusive opportunity
to learn the theory behind the projects on site
and gain real-life experience on the ground.

capped at 15 participants
to create the perfect group container
required for a truly transformative experience.
