GIFTING

YOUR PARTICIPATION IS EXPECTED.

Waves is about sharing – Everybody gives, everybody receives!

Our community embraces a deeply participatory philosophy. We firmly believe that genuine transformation, whether at an individual or societal level, can only arise through engagement.

Waves is dedicated to acts of kindness through the art of gifting. The true value of a gift lies in its unconditionality — it transcends expectations of reciprocity. A gift is simply given for the joy of giving.

You can propose something you'd like to run solo or in a group, such as sharing , teaching or showing a special skill, gifting the community with something to eat or drink, running a talk, workshop, game, perform or similar.

Otherwise, on arrival the TR Crew will assign you a team. This can involve beautifying the space, helping to light the campfires at night, helping in the kitchen making community treats, amongst other things. 

HERE ARE YOUR OPTIONS:

  • — ART INSTALLATION or DECORATION (Have a creation you wish to bring to Waves… Let us know!)

    — WORKSHOP (Yoga, meditation, music stuff.. You name it!)

    — TALK (Have important knowledge to share with the community about the environment, technology, health or anything beneficial to the community? Put your hand up!)

    — BEACH ACTIVITY(Eg. Surf lesson, beach tennis competition, beach soccer tournament, etc)

    — PERFORMANCE (Show us your magic!)

    — PHOTOGRAPHY / VIDEOGRAPHY (Join our media team)

    — FOOD (Eg. A delicious dish to share with other wavers)

    — DRINK (Eg. A delicious drink share on the dance floor)

  • — SET-UP (Be a pair of helping hands to the ART & PRODUCTION team before the retreat)

    — PACK-DOWN (Be a pair of helping hands to the ART & PRODUCTION team after the retreat)

    — CHECK-IN TEAM (Help us greeting – 1 x 4 hours shift)
