AT THRIVE, WE DON'T TALK SUSTAINABILITY, WE LIVE IT

Recover health and wholeness in the natural paradise of Hogsback, where every decision — from the soil we cultivate to the food we serve — is made with love and the planet in mind. For corporates looking to genuinely lead in sustainability and ESG, Thrive offers personalised workshops designed to empower, educate, and energise. For anyone else seeking a greater understanding of Nature, we help transform knowledge into action, to nurture the earth as she nurtures us.

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.
