Wilderness Retreat in South Africa
future dates tba
South African-born Ecopsychologist, Megan de Beyer and International Yoga Teacher, Mary Tilson invite you on a wilderness retreat in the heart of South Africa.
The sacred, ancient landscapes of Bobbejaanskloof Nature Reserve will be our home for the retreat, located on the edge of Plettenberg Bay on the Garden Route, hidden amongst the foothills of the Tsitsikamma Mountains. This charming farmhouse sits amongst dramatic private wilderness featuring indigenous fynbos, old forests and sweeping plains.
The daily schedule will include yoga & meditation classes and workshops with Mary, nature immersions and deep meditation journeys led by Megan de Beyer. Our Private Chef, Maya will be returning to prepare her vegetarian wonders - three delicious, plant-based meals per day. Body Stress Relief treatments will be available for booking with Jonathan and Rain, magical performances by Sean Borland and a few extra surprise delights.
Bobbejaanskloof Farmhouse
From the moment you arrive, there is a feeling of coming home.
Designed in the local vernacular style and built to give the impression that it’s always been there, the farmhouse has those deep stoeps that face onto unimaginably distant views. The walls are washed a bone colour, shuttered sash windows are a contrasting mahogany, and the roofs are tin.
We will come together family-style for three nourishing, home cooked meals per day.
An outdoor-lover’s haven…
With jeep track paths for mountain-biking, hiking routes for those who want to head down into the kloof, and a running path of 12 km. There is a swimming pool, dedicated yoga space, infrared sauna and small gym. The farm has it’s own soccer or touch-rugby field too.
If you are feeling contemplative, there are botanical gardens to savour, a nursery abundant with succulents, and endless viewpoints on which to linger.
