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.

Cost: 2 days accommodation + R300 surcharge

Human Design is a sacred system of personal self-discovery combining elements of astrology, the I Ching, Kabbalah, the chakra system and quantum physics. In reality, it is like your own personal energy blueprint designed to help you thrive and shine in the world. It is not about "fixing" anything, but more about stripping away the old conditioning holding you back from living your true potential. Join Patti to learn about your own unique, design blueprint - discover how to recognise your innate gifts and traits and how to harness the joy, peace and delight of coming home to YOU.

Teacher: Despina Forbes
Cost: 2 days accommodation + R400 surcharge
Dates:
This is an invitation to slow down and retreat with the support of two optional daily practices, a sound journey, time for solitude, silence and individual connection to support you through the weekend. Despina will be offering two yoga classes per day which include meditation, breathwork and therapeutic sound (morning and evening) with plenty of time to retreat at your own pace. Yoga and meditation can be experienced as a practice of cultivating well-being. We will be exploring Yin, gentle hatha and restorative yoga, breathwork, therapeutic sound and mindfulness practices. Intentional sounds like in a sound journey intend to invite us into a deeper state of listening and meditation that transcends the thinking mind. It is a beautiful practice to listen deeply to harmonic sounds such as in nature and give ourselves fully to the experience of embodied listening - full body listening. The truth of all things resides in the vibration and resonance made from one single sound. Combining these practices of movement, stillness and sound creates powerful possibilities for insight, transformation and healing for the body, mind, and heart. Breakfast and dinner will be in silence.
View teacher details Hide teacher details Despina Forbes is a mindfulness, trauma and somatic informed psychologist, yoga and mindfulness meditation practitioner and sound therapist whose intention is to hold space for facilitating well-being through the practice of embodiment and sustainable therapeutic practices for the purpose of cultivating awareness, healthy change, compassion, resilience and collective well-being.
