Our first retreat 2025
5th November 2025 to 11th November 2025 inclusive (7 nights)

ABOUT THE RETREAT

Life’s journey is filled with moments of growth, change, and reflection. This retreat offers a rare opportunity to actively engage in profound personal transformation within one of the world’s most breathtaking natural settings—the Okavango Delta. Our Transformation in Nature’s Embrace retreat is not just about passive reflection; it is designed to be highly interactive and hands-on. You’ll engage in a range of activities, group discussions, and practical exercises, ensuring that the concepts explored are applied in real-time to your life.

Unlike other retreats whose focus is more passive with indulgent sensory experiences, this retreat is this and more as it strikes a unique balance between structured guidance and the freedom for personal evolution. While we provide the framework and tools for growth, how you transform is entirely up to you. Active participation is key, as you’ll be encouraged to immerse yourself fully in the process, embracing the magic of the environment, the structure, and the expert facilitation.

Hosted in two exceptional camps, each offering a distinct and enriching experience, this retreat is carefully crafted to guide you through both inner and outer exploration. The balance between structure and organic unfolding allows for deep, meaningful change that is sustainable beyond the retreat itself.

Take this opportunity to pause, renew your spirit, and let nature’s wisdom and interactive engagement guide you toward lasting personal growth and transformation.

a typical day schedule

Imagine waking up in the African bush—a moment of serenity and connection with the wild. The air is filled with the sounds of wildlife, the distant roar of a lion, and the chirping of birds welcoming the day. Each day in the bush begins with options tailored to your needs:

Early Morning Yoga:
Start your day with a yoga session, connecting mind and body in the serene surroundings.

Meditation Session:
Center yourself with peaceful meditation, allowing the tranquility of the bush to guide your thoughts.

Early Game Drive or walking activity to witness the wildlife awakening:
A perfect start to your day

Afterward, enjoy a delicious breakfast.

Mid-Morning Workshop Sessions:
Later in the morning, we will hold workshop sessions on one of our decks—always overlooking an area where you can see the natural vistas of wildlife and wilderness. These sessions are designed to help you find purpose, peace, clarity, and achieve positive change. Each day’s workshop will cover various themes, such as exploring your life’s purpose, changing your mindset, practicing mindfulness, or learning tangible techniques for personal transformation. The topics will vary, ensuring a rich and dynamic learning experience

Lunch:
Enjoy a delightful, healthy meal prepared with fresh, local ingredients.

Afternoon Personal Relaxation Time:
After lunch, take time to unwind and recharge.
You can:
Relax by the pool

Embrace the mantra:
“nowhere to be, nothing to do”—except be you.

Late Afternoon Workshop:
We will continue the work from the morning session or start a new topic in a short afternoon workshop.

Early Evening Activities:
Join us for a sunset sundowner or an afternoon game drive, capturing the golden hues of the setting sun as it casts its glow over the Delta….and then the option of yoga or mindfulness on the deck

Evening:
End the day with a delicious meal, followed by a nightcap around the campfire. Reflect on the day’s events, share personal insights if you wish, and anticipate the experiences of the next day.
