The Capricorn Coast has taken its place on the global wellness stage, with High Valley Dawn Permaculture Farm’s Grounded Gathering featured in the international publication Wellness & World – Issue 4.
Appearing alongside renowned wellness festivals in France, Indonesia, the United Kingdom and Saudi Arabia, Grounded Gathering is recognised as part of a growing global movement redefining what wellness looks like.
The week-long event, which will be held from 21-27 September 2026, was highlighted for its hands-on, purpose-driven approach—bringing together community, sustainability and practical skills. Rather than simply observing, participants actively engage in experiences such as food forest planting, permaculture workshops and shared meals, creating meaningful connections with both people and place.
Importantly, the feature positions the Capricorn Coast within an evolving global narrative—where wellness is shifting from individual self-care to collective resilience, community connection and long-term environmental impact.
