Teacher: Krishia Schilz and Nelson Alvares
Cost: Number of days' accommodation
Dates:
Find meaningful solitude on a Self-Retreat. These Retreats are unstructured: one does as much (or as little) reading, walking, meditation or resting as one chooses. Enjoy walks and bird watching in 300 acres of beautiful rolling hills, parklands, indigenous valleys and forests. Meditate, learn chi kung and yoga, savour our delicious vegetarian food, browse our well-stocked library. Visit the stupa and the raked Zen sand gardens; walk the labyrinth; reflect on the 8 trees associated with the Buddha’s life, enlightenment and death in the beautiful Buddha Boma; spend solitary time in our deer forest, stalk the light, cloud-gaze at the dam and tune into just being in the present moment. Self-Retreats are an ideal opportunity to be in a gentle, sympathetic space where one can be still and get in touch with oneself and reflect on the things that crowd one’s life. Self-Retreats are available on weekdays - between Conducted Retreats - and over structured retreats. Group or Corporate events can be arranged.
Nelson Alvares is in situ to lead walks and sunrise meditation.
For those who would like to book for a self retreat midweek, Krishia Schilz, a resident member of staff, is offering daily yoga, pranayama and meditation.
Krishia Schilz is a qualified Bereavement Counsellor specialising in grief and loss, as well as Trauma Containment. Her spiritual path led her to yoga in which she is certified in various styles. She completed her training in beautiful Bali before travelling to Thailand to teach. Her practice includes yoga, pranayama (breath work), meditation and yoga philosophy.

Teacher: Pippa Cope
Cost: 2 days accommodation + R400 surcharge
Dates:
The five elements provide a dynamic system of understanding life. They make up the world around us and are in all living organisms - only the proportions differ. When the elements are in balance there is ease and harmony, when out of balance there is dis-ease and disharmony. The balance is constantly changing within and around us.
To help us learn how to work with this ever-changing balance of the elements in a positive way, we first have to get to know them. In this retreat we will become familiar with the characteristics and qualities of each, and observe their interaction. At the same time, we learn to observe our mind-body states in relation to the elements. There will be guided relaxation and creative work around each element, including observation and creative activities. Optional gentle mindful movement before breakfast will be offered. Please bring loose, comfortable clothing suitable for outdoor activities.
View teacher details Hide teacher details Pippa Cope has been involved with the Tara Rokpa Therapy Process, Healing Relaxation, a creative fusion of Tibetan and western Wisdom, since 1997, and was authorised to practise as a senior helper in South Africa. Having worked in the caring, therapeutic and development fields in the UK, Zimbabwe and Sri lanka, she is currently a resident at Tara Rokpa Centre, Groot Marico.

Teacher: Prof Leonina Kaestele
Cost: 2 days accommodation + R300 surcharge
Dates:
Imagination is more important than knowledge - Albert Einstein
As children, we lived in a magical world of vivid imagination, where trees could become beings and nature seemed to speak to us. Even as adults, we have the ability to develop imagery that connects us to our inner strength and wisdom, enhances our creative potential, and helps us build resilience. This can support us in finding solutions and coping with the challenges life presents.
In this workshop, you will learn how to use imagery to develop meaningful tools that will enrich your life. Guided walks in nature will help fill you with positive energy and offer opportunities to meditate on your future and the future of the world. This workshop is for anyone interested in exploring their imagination and discovering the treasures within.
By focusing on both the theoretical and practical aspects of imagery, this workshop aims to empower individuals and professionals to utilize these techniques for themselves and their clients.
The retreat will be followed by a Zoom meeting, supporting you in practicing imagery in your daily life and continuing a creative journey of self-discovery.
