Core to our Container:

We kindly ask everyone who can contribute to the gathering to volunteer for 4 hours in total, 2 hours every other day, to support the kitchens, site amenities, and general caretaking. Sign-up sheets for volunteer shifts will be available on arrival, and each group will be allocated a volunteer coordinator who will support you in this.

We aim to cultivate a space of mutual thriving, where the team holding the event are supported by attendees, and we invite all those onsite to take a responsible role in taking care of one another, the site, and the spaces.

Children:

Children are very welcome in the space and we will hold activities aimed towards families. Please book a free space for each child (under 12) so that we have the correct numbers for catering. We cannot be responsible for children. Although we will encourage a co-caring approach from the whole, we ask parents to be responsible for their children at all times. 

Food:

42 Acres “Soil to Gut” menu demonstrates a way of eating that both continues the traditions of the past and supports our shared future. The food you eat will be regenerative and hyper-local – much of it grown, wild-tended, and foraged on the land you’re walking. We believe that as we cultivate and restore the well-being of our planet Earth, we cultivate and restore the well-being within ourselves.

Accommodation:

42 Acres offer a range of accommodation. The design philosophy is ” elegant simplicity” – based on Satish Kumar’s teachings. All spaces are beautiful, simple, thoughtful, and sustainable. The intention is for you to feel held in a loving embrace.

Tickets:

Are sold per room/camping pitch. If you would like to share your room, please add the “Sharing Fee” to your booking to cover experiences and meals.
