McGREGOR GATHERINGS
Why be alone when you can gather?
McGregor Gatherings are a different kind of weekday escape. The space is warm, intelligent, slightly irreverent and grown-up.
Every Monday, a small group of 6–12 people arrives at Chalcedony, a beautiful country house in McGregor.
Some come with a friend.
Some as couples.
Some come completely alone.
THE DAYS ARE YOURS.
Walk. Swim. Read. Cook. Explore McGregor. Do absolutely nothing.
AFTER DARK.
Fires. Wine. Music. Games & Charades. Stories. Stars.
R395 per person per night - pick your dates and theme below
For four days, we cook and eat together. We light fires. We walk in the mountains. We play music, cards, board games and charades. We swim. We braai. We look at the stars. We open bottles of wine and stay at the table far longer than intended.
There might be a guest speaker one day. Someone might suggest yoga one morning. Someone else might disappear into the garden with a book.
Nothing is compulsory.
This isn't a retreat.
There is nothing to achieve, fix, cleanse, perform or transform.
It's simply an opportunity to step out of ordinary life for a few days and spend time with interesting people.
Bring books.
Bring games.
Bring stories.
Bring something you love cooking.
And definitely bring a sense of humour.
A small, carefully curated group of soon- to-be-friends.
Supper club. Sleepover. Country escape.
A house full of people you haven't met yet.
Come alone. Come together. Just come and gather.
