Inclusions of the Community Pass:

- Three community dinners including welcome & farewell activities on Day 1 & Day 15 of the gathering.
- Three workshops/sessions for parents (Sustainable Living, Whole Life Unschooling, and Sound & Energy Healing).
- Children’s activities running alongside the parents workshops so that parents can attend child-free.
- Assistance with bungalow/ guesthouse bookings to be close to the gathering if our Spirit Mountain bungalows are fully booked.
NB: the Spirit Mountain Community Pass also covers gathering costs such as staff (including Alice, Pierre and Galie to be available from 8.30am to 8.30pm each day), and rental of the gathering space.
On top of the Community Pass, families are required to book their own accommodation. We have 6 bungalows available at our gathering site, Spirit Mountain. For other accommodation suggestions, please visit our accommodation page.
All daily activities are optional and paid for separately to the Spirit Mountain Community Pass. If you are not booking the complete package with us (with a 10% discount) please let us know ASAP which activities you would like to book for your family as we expect the daily activities to be booked out by the time the gathering commences. We will then invoice you to secure your places. Families who are not participating in a daily activity have the option to do their own thing, or catch-up with other families who have also chosen to not participate in that day’s activity.
Meals: breakfast is offered at Spirit Mountain every morning for families staying on site, and will be invoiced alongside the bungalow booking. Three community dinners are included in the gathering, and all other dinners are organised by yourselves (for our Nov/Dec 2019 gathering most families would go together in a tuk tuk to the beach or the night market for dinner). Some lunches are included in the optional daily activities – please see the Itinerary page for daily activity lunch inclusions. All other lunches are organised by yourselves.
You can view the optional daily activities here on our Itinerary page.
