Dianne van der Walt
At 20, Dianne left formal studies to live below the poverty line in Port St. Johns, building a homestead using permaculture and regenerative practices long before they were mainstream.
Today she runs Thrive Centre in Hogsback — teaching, cooking incredible food, and proving that when your soil and relationships are rich, you are truly wealthy.
Book your stay and start living the change yourself.
