The Garden Route coastline is one of the most spectacular places on earth for marine life! 🌊🐋🐬

Did you know that our coastal waters are home to superpods?

While typical dolphin pods range from 2 to 30 individuals, a superpod is a massive gathering where multiple smaller groups merge into a single mega-pod, sometimes bringing hundreds or even thousands of dolphins together to hunt, socialise, and play along the surf line.

Why we will never miss TEDxGeorge again… and neither should you! 💡✨

Spending August 8th Fancourt for TEDxGeorgeWomen completely changed the game for us.

The theme was “Rise,” and from the second we walked into the hall, you could feel an extraordinary energy in the room.

Lesego Tlhabi had us roaring with laughter while simultaneously dropping sharp, brilliant truths about modern society.

M I A L E R O U X delivered a powerful call to action on true inclusion and creating spaces built for every ability.

Tasha van der Watt from Ninas Cafe reminded us of the magic of food, heritage, and how family recipes carry our generational stories.

Romantha Botha reminded us that truth is complex, but it is ours to tell.

Shri Kali Mundo brought a moment of pure bliss with sound immersion, showing us what true mental restoration feels like.

Between crafting custom badges and sitting down for interactive lunch roundtables, it felt less like a conference and more like a community coming together to shape the future.

We walked away with full hearts, fresh perspectives and a massive list of new ideas.
