VENUE

CRADLE OF HUMANKIND, SOUTH AFRICA

The inaugural Tounché took place in the sacred place where all of humankind originated: the Cradle of Humankind UNESCO World Heritage site, located 1 hour outside of Johannesburg, South Africa. In this 47 000-hectare site of rolling hills and valleys researchers have discovered the most comprehensive evidence of the origins of humanity and its place within nature. The land is deeply etched with the passage of time, fostering a place of enquiry and discovery - contemplation and reflection - inviting universal pilgrimage to restore our connection to nature and nurture our innermost selves.
