Restore your connection with inner peace

A retreat is a great start to effortlessly experience and explore inner peace, and help you maintain that connection alive in your day-to-day living. Read my blog on True inner peace.
The kind of practice we will do is based on an effortless meditation, read about it in my short blog Go within.

The energy of a retreat venue, i.e. the integrity of the space, owners and managers of the venue, is vital. Visit the Fynbos Estate website and see for yourself :-))
The Thursday 24th is a public holiday (Heritage Day) – so you only have to take off from work the Friday.

● 3 meals and 2 teatimes per day
● Includes a one-on one yoga consultation, a cranio-sacral bodywork therapy and Zen coaching session
● 4 yoga, meditation, workshop and satsang sessions total of minimum 4 hours daily
