Come together in 2027 and 2028.
Fourteen gatherings in eleven places. Every one is open to every member, with a childcare team so parents get time too.
Booking is open for the Maldives in February 2027. Every other venue, date and price is planned, and confirmed with the venue before anyone pays.
Every member is welcome. Every child is looked after.
Couples, single parents, singles and grandparents, with or without children. Every retreat has its own childcare team, so parents can unwind on their own or with other members.
- One carer for every six children. Local, vetted carers at every retreat.
- A childcare lead chosen by Hiperfam, with first aid and safeguarding checked, who travels with the team.
- Every morning and three evenings. The kids' club runs during sessions and on three evenings, so parents get time too.
At the festival a staffed kids' zone runs all day. On the residencies, children spend weekday mornings in the learning studio, with kids' clubs on two evenings a week and two weekend mornings.
