“This has reignited my love for music festivals. The thoughtful organisation, intimate atmosphere, and connection to nature made this a standout experience. Shekhinah’s live performance and the breathtaking venue were unforgettable,” one attendee said.

‘Being closer to nature’

Speaking to The Citizen, Manana shared his philosophy on staying authentic to his artistic vision.

“I trust that people will appreciate what I’ve got to say. It’s about the journey and staying true to yourself.”

Meanwhile, Shekhinah praised the event’s connection to its audience, saying: “Corona Sunsets Fest brings the right people together. Being closer to nature here makes everything feel more connected and meaningful.”

Unwinding in Nature’s Embrace

The atmosphere was infectious — a mix of vibrant music, breathtaking surroundings, and an audience that radiated joy.

“The vibe is amazing. Nirox is beautiful, and the mix of people, drinks, and fashion is incredible. This is active relaxation at its best,” said one of the attendees at the festival.

The focus of Sunday’s schedule was mindfulness and rejuvenation.

Beginning with an optional yoga session conducted by well-known Cape Town teacher Jeanae Dumas, participants discovered inner serenity in the surroundings of Farmhouse 58.

As freeing as it is grounding, Jeanae’s style of yoga helps practitioners re-establish a connection with nature and themselves.
