As one of Africa’s brightest shining lights for psychedelic music, art, and culture, Origin strives to promote Peace, Love, Unity, and Respect for all, as we strengthen our own global community based on conscious party ethics and respect for nature.

Celebrated as a bastion for psychedelic music, art, and culture, Origin strives to promote Peace, Love, Unity, and Respect for all, as we strengthen our own global community based on conscious party ethics and respect for nature.

The techno-shamanic tribes from around Southern Africa (and further afield) gather in this  beautiful valley nestled in majestic mountains every year to reconnect with friends, nature and oneself.

All communities are important to us and as such we are privileged to be able to offer a percentage of our profits every year to development projects under the guidance of the local municipality.

Our home is the beautiful Elandskloof tucked away between Villiersdorp and Greyton, only 125 Km from Cape Town. This lush green valley with its fresh mountain streams, welcoming forest filled with Oaks, YellowWoods and Redwoods; and towering mountain backdrops, beckons us once more for an adventure in connecting, laughing, relaxing and enjoying nature in all its glory.
