They are a plan agreed to by all world leaders to build a greener, fairer, better world by 2030, and we all have a role in achieving them." At The Hive your family will become active participants in designing and executing their own ideas to contribute to the Global Goals and leave a legacy of change. You will all become changemakers equipped with the skills, knowledge and relationships you need to be the change you want to see in the world.

Family Survival Adventure, Dominican Republic

Disconnect from modern life and reconnect to yourself, your kids and nature's rhythm. We will spend 3 days and 2 nights camped out by the river in the wilds of Dominican Republic. We will build a camp and live off the land for a week. We'll rise with the sun and rest when it sets, forage for food, cook over a campfire and live barefoot like our ancestors. If you'd like to bring some comforts you're most welcome. You can bring a tent, sleeping mat and necessities, or you can rewild entirely!

Ocean Heroes Adventure, Dominican Republic

"Healthy oceans and seas are essential to our existence. They cover 70 percent of our planet and we rely on them for food, energy and water. Yet, we have managed to do tremendous damage to these precious resources. We must protect them by eliminating pollution and overfishing and immediately start to responsibly manage and protect all marine life around the world." Over three weeks we will learn how to care for mangroves, rivers and oceans and become Ocean Heroes. Alongside this adventure for your children, there will be a radiant parenting program.
