BE THE CHANGE YOU WANT TO SEE IN THE WORLD
Welcome to the second edition of ECOLUTION FESTIVAL!
Hosted at Well-Being Sanctuary in collaboration with Precious Tree Project and the Kula Malaika Foundation – both are registered Non-Profit and Public Benefit Organisations (NPOs & PBOs) – this event is about more than just trees. It’s about restoring ecosystems and creating a permanent, sustainable wildlife corridor in the Ruigtevlei area near Sedgefield.
At ECOLUTION we celebrate nature, sustainability, and community! This unique festival is more than music and good vibes — it’s a hands-on journey into ecological connection and environmental action. At the heart of ECOLUTION are three guiding pillars:
1. WILDLIFE CORRIDORS
These natural pathways reconnect fragmented habitats, allowing animals to roam, forage, and thrive. Through talks, exhibits, and workshops, you’ll learn how habitat fragmentation affects biodiversity and how individuals and landowners can help restore these vital lifelines.
2. FOREST REHABILITATION
Join tree and fynbos planting ceremonies, clear alien species, and experience guided forest walks that reveal nature’s power to heal. This is your chance to actively restore ecosystems, combat climate change, and create thriving habitats for wildlife.
3. PERMACULTURE PRINCIPLES
Explore sustainable living through hands-on workshops in regenerative farming, natural building, vermicomposting (worm farming), water harvesting, agroforestry, and more. Learn how to live in harmony with nature while supporting food security and resilient communities.
MORE TO EXPERIENCE
Enjoy eco-conscious performances, recycled art installations, and a green marketplace featuring local, sustainable products. Whether you’re deeply rooted in environmental work or just starting your journey, ECOLUTION invites you to connect, learn, and co-create a greener future.
