One of the best kept secrets in the Caribbean, Great Huts Eco-Resort, recently launched One Love Rastafari – a new and exciting special interest excursion in one of the most culturally important places in the world: Jamaica. This seven-day cultural exploration into the origins of Rastafari spirituality is accompanied by expert commentary on its present and future.
It's fair to say there are some misconceptions about Rastafari. For many, the word conjures images of head-wrapped mystics wreathed in clouds of ganja smoke, intimations of immortality, or the mythic stature of Marcus Garvey and Haile Selassie. If you like Reggae music and are familiar with Bob Marley, chances are you have already sung, hummed and probably danced to one of its most profound messages: "One Love".
Tour Dates: July 9 - 16, 2017
For three days in the bustling city of Kingston and four days at Great Huts: Paradise on the Edge in Port Antonio (with plenty of free time to bask on the beaches of Portland), this lively tour embraces a wealth of tradition and experience. All details have been carefully thought out to entertain, enlighten and educate.
From drumming at Mount Debre Zeit, to panoramic views of Pinnacle – the birthplace of Rastafari – to insights on its historical Jewish connections. The One Love Rastafari experience offers an unedited view into this mystical homegrown culture. Included are film screenings at Africana House, exuberant Dub music sessions, and abundant culinary treats — an authentic Ethiopian dinner, sumptuous Ital food in Trench Town and outdoors by the herb gardens at Hope Bay.
The scenic route from Kingston to the lush parish of Portland through the Blue Mountains unparalleled in beauty and awe inspiring views. Guaranteed to be enjoyed by anyone, it is simply breathtaking.
The destination of Great Huts and all its details have meticulously remained true to the unwavering vision of Owner and Designer, Dr. Paul S. Rhodes, a Jewish American medical doctor who recognized the power and brilliance of Rastafari many years ago. Born in Brooklyn New York, Dr. Rhodes began with three tents and a mission to help the homeless and the elderly in Port Antonio. This learned man continues to remain true to these values while evolving Great Huts to new heights.
