A universal image, it represents harmony as well as momentum; it symbolizes advancement and, even, catharsis. The word suggests a new way of life too. A way for people to interconnect on a spiritual level. An experience designed to elevate personal frequencies, a goal best accessed by a gathering of tribes - or individuals - whose energies, when combined spontaneously, can lead to personal breakthroughs. The metaphysical magic created by large or 'tribal' gatherings is something widely missing in our post-modern lifestyles. Without them, it grows harder for humanity to co-create its future; without them, mankind's evolutionary nature is confined to the limited boundaries of the individual. The result is poor, compared to the boundless capabilities of the collective - and the byproduct is increased separation and disharmony.

Ondalinda was created in the belief that we're better off together than alone. The wave effect we seek to generate every year - be it a 'human wave' or a Pacific swell breaking on the shore - embodies the following idea, too. Specifically: even a human collective reaches its zenith at some point and when it does - when it can go no further - we're wise to look beyond ourselves and beyond our kind...and to seek out the laws of Nature for the guidance we require. It's no coincidence that the Ondalinda experiences are held in some of the most beautiful places on the planet.
