Retreat Only

The 6-day Seeing with Your Heart retreat includes constellations, shamanic rituals led by Zulu Shamans,  and five unparalleled 3-hour game drives into the heart of the African wilderness, designed to be a sensory feast for the heart as the untamed beauty of the bush comes alive around and within you.

Witness majestic African wildlife in their natural habitat, as you hear the symphony of the wild and breathe in the fresh, invigorating air. Feel the gentle caress of the wind and the warm embrace of the sun as you traverse the rugged terrain in an Open Safari vehicle that comfortably accommodates nine guests, ensuring an exclusive and personalized encounter.

 Winding through one of the few remaining primordial landscapes on the planet will awaken the oldest cellular memories in your body: Ubuntu I Am Because you Are.

Each day, you will be greeted by the magnificent sights, sounds and smells of this untouched African bush. Your body will renew its bond with nature as we open your soul to answer the call of ancestral, nature, and spirit consciousness.

Guided by Emily and Dan’s alchemical facilitation, Erik and Christel’s bridge to the origins, Gogo Nomzimane's shamanic medicine rituals, and the spirit of our shared ancestry, we will weave together the threads of history into a tapestry of healing.

Reconnect with the heart of humanity and the powerful, healthy roots of your original ancestors and their healing practices. Gain foundational wisdom that will support you to live liberated, embodied with grace, ease, and love, and return inspired to contribute your unique lifeforce to our collective future.

LODGING: Springbok offers 4-star opulence in the African bush. Lodging is in a shared luxury tent (2 people) with large ensuite bathroom facilities inside, and an outdoor shower. Each of the luxury tents have their own viewing deck with chairs so you can enjoy unsurpassed views from your tent deck or from the pool whilst relaxing with friends nearby sharing your experience. The abundant natural water system, with perennial rivers and the beautiful waterfall and cascades on the Sundays River, makes for a unique sanctuary, attracting several rare bird species and an enviable array of raptors and vultures. Please note: There are NO single rooms. Everyone has to share as there is limited accommodation in the lodge. The luxury tents have 2 single beds or a double bed for couples and an en suite bathroom and outside shower. 

MEALS: Breakfast, lunch, and dinner as well as coffee, tea, and snacks twice daily are included in your registration (alcoholic beverages are not included). The menus source ingredients of the highest standard from local producers. The kitchen can accommodate special dietary needs.
