An Ocean in One Drop

"You are not a drop in the ocean. You are the entire ocean in a drop."

The words are widely attributed to Rumi, the 13th-century Persian poet, and they are the heart of this evening: an invitation to slow down and remember how much lives inside a single life, and how deeply our lives are woven together.

This is a one-night-only experience, and festival founders Rogier and François invite you personally. Only 50 guests will share it, and the evening is built around connection: to each other, to the land, and to something larger than ourselves.

It begins in Clarens, where you will be transported to Andes Café and Guest Farm, just outside Clarens. There's champagne as the sun goes down. As darkness settles, you’ll be guided to the farm's central dam. On the water float 108 golden orbs, each one glowing softly, each one representing a single life. Together, the floating orbs symbolize a constellation on the water, a web of light connecting us to one another.

From the dam, the walk continues into the night, past rock formations older than memory, picked out in light. It ends on a deck, where blues artist [Smoke J. Lawrence] plays an exclusive concert for you and your fellow guests alone.

When the last note fades, your transport is waiting to take you home. Fifty places. One night only. Reserve your tickets before they're gone.

Practical information: Champagne is served at sunset, courtesy of RGBC | Return transport from Clarens is included in your ticket; the shuttle departs from the ticket sales booth at Clarens Town Square, so no parking is needed at the estate. | The evening includes a gentle guided walk on estate paths. | Wear comfortable shoes and warm layers for the mountain evening.
