SUMMARY:Zen in the Wild | Yoga Safari Retreat
DESCRIPTION:Greater Kruger\, South Africa \nThere is a quiet kind of return that happens in the presence of the wild. \nThis four night yoga safari retreat unfolds at Sashwa River of Stars\, set above the flowing Olifants River in the vast landscape of the Greater Kruger. Here\, elephants gather at the water’s edge\, birds move through the trees and the rhythm of nature becomes something you begin to feel within yourself. \nThis is an invitation into stillness\, wildness and wonder. \nDays begin early\, with guided walks or game drives as the bush awakens. Movement follows\, with grounding Vinyasa practices that reconnect body and breath. Afternoons soften into Yin\, with space to rest\, swim\, reflect or simply watch life unfold. Evenings return to the wild\, with sunset drives and dinners beneath expansive African skies\, accompanied by the distant sounds of hippos and lions. \nYoga is guided by Kristi Tate and Joëlle Sleebos\, offering two complementary teaching styles. All levels are welcome\, with practices designed to support both beginners and experienced practitioners. \nMeals are seasonal\, plant based and thoughtfully prepared to nourish and restore\, with wine and local beer included. \nRooted in a deep respect for the land and its wildlife\, this experience invites a slower way of being. One that listens\, observes and reconnects. \nHere\, nature leads. \nWhat is included \n\n4 nights accommodation at Sashwa River of Stars\nTwo daily yoga sessions (Vinyasa and Yin)\nTwo daily game drives or guided walks\nThree nourishing meals per day plus beverages\nAccess to wellness facilities\, creative spaces and wildlife viewing areas\nBirding and stargazing experiences\nWiFi in designated areas  \n\nOptional extras \n\nMassage and holistic treatments\nPrivate experiences such as sound safari or star bath\nAirport transfers

SUMMARY:The Spirit of Clay
DESCRIPTION:Held within the peaceful surrounds of Cape Town Centre for Unity\, this intimate experience invites a return to the quiet intelligence of the hands. \nGuided by ceramicist and facilitator Riana Alet\, the afternoon unfolds gently\, offering space to reconnect with an innate sense of creativity through the grounding medium of clay. Using wild terracotta sourced from the Knysna forest\, participants are introduced to three foundational hand building techniques\, shaping a vessel that emerges as much from feeling as from form. \nThe experience weaves together meditation\, visualisation and moments of quiet nature immersion\, creating a rhythm that supports both expression and reflection. There is no rush here. Each movement is an invitation to slow down\, to listen\, and to create from a place that feels honest and unforced. \nAs the session softens\, the gathering continues into the temple gardens with a shared meal\, offering time to connect\, integrate and simply be in each other’s company. \nThis is a space for those drawn to creativity as a practice of presence. A gentle return to the hands\, the earth and the quiet unfolding of something within. \nThis workshop is for you if you feel drawn to: \n\nA pause from the pace of daily life\, to settle into stillness through creative expression\nWorking with clay as a grounding\, tactile practice\nLearning the foundations of hand building to continue exploring in your own time\nUnderstanding how to connect with your own innate creativity through simple\, accessible techniques\nExploring breathwork\, mindfulness and meditation as pathways into creative flow\nBeing part of a supportive and open creative community\n\nThe experience includes: \n\nAll tools and materials\, with firing of your finished clay piece\nA guided demonstration of three hand building techniques\nMeditation\, visualisation and a contemplative nature walk\nA shared\, bring and share lunch in the gardens\n\nBeginners are warmly welcomed.
