Soon to rise in Quezon, Palawan, Philippines; nestled between two cone-shaped hills, five minutes away from the beautiful shores of Lasyap Beach and 30 minutes drive to the pre-historic Tabon Caves.
Sleep in community-built huts, tree houses, up-cycled container vans and rusty old camper vans, or pitch your own tent in the open camping area.
Bathe in the sea. Take a dip in a stone pool. Enjoy and/or contribute to our graffiti wall and sculpture garden, each piece made using waste materials and objects from the forest floor.
Re-connect with your inner child and bask in the freedom of play. Suitable for children of all ages, built using only recycled and natural materials.
Visit our little farm and vegetable garden, where we aim to grow most (if not all) of the food that we consume. Here you will also find a shop where you can buy local produce from around the neighbourhood.
Make and/or share food, drinks and great memories with friends old and new in our community bar and kitchen. Hammocks, carpets and cushions are a stone's throw away, perfect for the post-meal siesta.
Unlock and explore your creativity and imagination in our regular therapeutic art sessions. Get a new tattoo, or secure a guest spot if you are an artist yourself. Out of ideas? We can also help you create your own unique design!
Inspired by the ancient Greco-Egyptian dream temples, this space features a purposefully decorated open-air hut specially made for dreaming, wide awake or in deep sleep.
Surrounded by hills and situated at the very heart of the space, the temple's ceiling is fully ornamented with overlapping circles, also known as the Flower of Life in sacred geometry. On the floor are lotus-shaped pods conducive for sleeping/relaxing positions.
Though in general, we aim for a festival vibe throughout the space all-year round, we will regularly hold art and music festivals every year as well. In these official gatherings, the Dream/Dance Temple will serve as the main stage and dance floor. More details soon! ♡

Our dream is to live in a world where people are free like children. Where everybody loves like a child, sees life through the eyes of a child. Many of us struggle with these very simple things; we struggle to be open and honest about our feelings, we struggle to forgive, we struggle to enjoy ourselves without guilt.
Camp Kalykasy is a safe space to re-learn important skills that we once had as little kids. We aim to offer facilities and programs that will encourage us to reclaim a happy childhood, something that some are unfortunately deprived of, and most have forgotten due to overwhelm from today's overcomplicated systems and way of life.
We believe that a vital key to experiencing true freedom is creative expression. It is our birthright, and at the same time, our responsibility as humans to learn how to express ourselves through conscious creation. Violence and waste are merely consequences of an inability to express in a non-destructive way, which is the case for majority of the population, because today's educational systems barely support creativity and are instead heavily focused solely on manufacturing the future workforce of society.
We dream of a world where people are slaves to nothing and no one, where each person has an opportunity to freely discover the essence of one's true self -- the inner child --, and be able to express it freely and beautifully, beyond the limits of language and societal expectations.
We know in our hearts that this is best achieved when we operate like nature, when we cooperate with it and not against, when we are surrounded by it, when we are one with it.
We invite you to join us in building this world!
Our goal is to use art, music and community to heal the planet, one person at a time, starting with ourselves. We are highly motivated by the undeniable power of transformation.
We put all our creative efforts towards alleviating the waste problem through re-purposing and up-cycling, to allow every participant to directly experience the magic of transforming something undesirable (garbage) into something beautiful (art).
It is not true that we cannot change reality. As a collective, humans can agree upon a more desirable reality and work together to build it. Nothing is impossible!
