Types of Retreats

Conducted Retreats

The Conducted Retreats are described on this website. Participants are welcome to extend their visit to the Centre beyond the advertised dates by coming a day or so earlier or staying a few days afterwards on a Self-Retreat as described below. As most Conducted Retreats are carefully structured as a whole, retreatants are expected to attend the retreat from the first day to the last.

Self Retreating Mid Week

Find meaningful solitude on a Self-Retreat.  One can do 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 and indigenous forests. Enjoy some qigong, meditation and treatments and savour our delicious vegetarian food; or browse our well-stocked library. Visit the stupa and the raked Zen sand gardens and walk the labyrinth. Massage treatments, guided walks, qigong and meditation are offered by resident staff mid week. Self-Retreats are an ideal opportunity to be in a gentle, sympathetic space where one can be still and get in touch with oneself.

Come For the Day

You would be most welcome to book in for a day except over silent and intensive meditation retreats. We invite day visitors to make a donation of R150 or more per person to the Centre which is a non-profit organization.

Lunch is available at a charge of R180.00 per person. Meals are vegetarian (not vegan).

Please contact the office well in advance to discuss your visit.
