Situation

The retreat will be situated outside of Port Elizabeth near the Witteclip Private Nature Reserve, for the main reason that retreats need to be away from the busy city life. One needs solitude and silence, to be only surrounded by the sounds and views of nature. I want to take nature, and use it as a backdrop to the therapy sessions, whatever they might be.

I propose to create a Rejuvenation retreat that will be focussed on the health and well-being of people in relation to nature. The retreat will be a place of ultimate healing and rejuvenation of the body, mind and soul. We need to renew our discernment and have a positive outlook on life. I propose to inaugurate a retreat that is a sanctuary, and a safeguard from the outside world.

The retreat will consist of therapeutic and rejuvenation. 

Therapies within specifically designed healing environments will include programs that deal with many of life’s obstacles. Issues that will be of concern include depression, anxiety, grief, burnout, post trauma, post rehabilitation, abuse, family and relationship issues as well as work stress and eating disorders. The rejuvenation part of the retreat is for absolute relaxation and renewal of the body mind and soul, for a time out and nurturing. The rejuvenation would include deep cleanses as well as detoxification of the body through organic foods and fruit juices. Rejuvenation would also cater for body work, which would take place in the spa facility provided. Lastly exercise would form part of the rejuvenation process through Pilates, yoga, Thai chi and meditation.

The core of the retreat would be the well-being of the guests, through sensorial interactions during the therapies as well as within the space. The journey that guests take on arrival would be experienced through the healing process of the body, soul and mind. Through spa treatments, therapy sessions, group sessions, walks through the garden and spaces, meditation during yoga or quiet times and exercise through Pilates.

The retreat will be entirely modified in consultation with you to meet personal targets. Passion and knowledge will be offered as well as depth of experience in this retreat while one discovers and nourishes one’s own personal spirituality.
